Today was sunny and warm. I managed to get a good house clean in and still have time for a walk. The snow started to melt and the ice cream shop opened. We even had coffee outside. Tomorrow is March. These things may be small but worth so much.
Happy week ahead xox
I am sure that most families have a wall. You know the kind, the one that has the kids' heights on it. The one that looks messy but I would be sad to leave it behind if we ever move. The pencil marks have long since faded and smudged but I can still see, from 2013 to now, how the boys grew over the years. The first one from Oliver is just above my knee height. There are marks from Alexander and Nicklas that prove that, at one point, I was actually taller than them. I can also see where they clearly started to look down at me. Also precious are the scribble drawings that Oliver contributed when he was bored of waiting for his turn to get measured...
We still add to this family wall. This is where Alexander is now bypassing Andreas in height. This is where Nicklas keeps comparing himself to where Alexander was at his age. This is where Oliver will most likely bypass me in height in the next few years. This is where I do not wash the wall. This is where I appreciate the pencil marks.
Wishing you all a happy weekend xox
Yes, I feel short ;)
Today is a snow day. I am going to be honest but I was a little surprised.. the kids have trudged to school in worse conditions than these. Sure, it is snowy... and windy... and gross but, heck, we are Canadian so, apparently, we have to like this crappy weather 😉 I like to think of this snow day as a belated Valentine's present... yes, for the kids, but mostly for the parents! This morning, I had a precious half hour more of quiet-coffee-time-without-boys-asking-for-breakfast-or-where-the-milk-is. I was also greeted by much happier teenagers when they realized that it was 10am when I woke them up and they didn't have to go to school. I didn't have to make lunches. I didn't have to rush kids out the door. I didn't have to nag (at least not this morning...yet...). Happy belated Valentine's Day to me!
Happy Tuesday aka Snow Day! xox
I know that it has been crappy cold lately but I am starting to feel spring on the horizon. A few weeks back, when we used to walk our dog at 5pm, it was dark. Now, it is not. Hallelujah! It it the little things that give me hope 😉
