weekending

Ours is a full three-day weekend.

:: watching Pal take his first steps.  First Steps!

:: enjoying the gorgeous Lady Cordelia original that Cory sent last week.  I keep spotting the baby quilt in different spots of the house and it looks amazing everywhere -- the sofa, piled high with dollies, wrapped around a kid's shoulders as a superhero cape. You must check out her lovely shop!  Right now.  Go ahead, I'll wait.

:: finally determining my word of the year - grace.  I feel there is much to be learned from this word.

:: thankful for the many women who have shown kindness to me this week. 

:: helping with research on Thomas L. Jennings for an upcoming school project.

:: a hug for the letter carrier.  Sound funny?  She is simply so friendly, and her bad knees have kept her from our route for awhile.  She was a bit of sunshine in our overcast days.

:: a few moments of Doctor Who with Honey.  Who knew I could be swayed to enjoy a bit of sci-fi.

:: spreading the word about this Mama Scout Family Lab.  She is offering it for free.  Amy, the Scout Leader is amazing, the lab is amazing!

:: a bit of screens for the kids.  A bit of fresh air for me.

:: breakfast for dinner.  Nothing quite like pancakes with maple syrup at night.

:: anticipating a slice of quiet when I can settle down and soak in the pages of the latest Taproot.  The cover art is breathtakingly beautiful, I can't wait to see what is inside.

:: Legos.  Legos.  Legos.  Always.

:: a young boy who finished the Harry Potter series.  He is proud of himself.   So are we.

:: Getting ever closer to an announcement for gladsome 2013.  It is so hard for me to be patient.

Wishing you and yours a lovely weekend!
