Dandelions

Dandelions grape hyacinths and little violets had my girl outdoors all day today, picking playing, cooking, smelling, I know spring has really hit when she plays with flowers for hours!










baby M joined the fun, what a spetacular day ~

Baby M, 16 months

Life has been such a whirlwind I have been forgetting to mark so many important 
~ little milestones ~
like this little nugget turning 16 months old yesterday





The most beautiful baby,
 still is.
And what a joy.
Happy thursday


Yesterday, Imani was 3






Now she is almost 6, and all elbows and knees, I miss having a baby girl around,
but am so proud of my big girl now.

Haircut

 It was sort of an uneventful weekend, unless you count Maypole celebration, art, housecleaning, fishing at a pond, and food shopping "eventful" (I suppose it is) Imani did get a spanking new haircut and blowout though, in other words I happily paid to have someone else DETANGLE her hair (it took a full hour)






She loves it, feels like a princess, wants straight, and only straight hair
all the time
sigh....what have I done wrong>?
Happy Monday!

Elephant painting

 I painted this sweet little print, acrylics on canvas, for one of the kids rooms I am dreaming of...

Sure hoping I get to hang it soon!

May Pole Day

The May pole weaving is a spring tradition in many countries and cultures, including my husband's
here the kids got to celebrate at their school, it was a beautiful, perfect
May day morning
lady spring's  silk throne

baby M sleeps this one out, per usual
Imani will get to weave with the kindergarden next week!
stay tuned for pics of that.
