Artists at Work

I had a lovely day today, filled with art, books, peanut butter sandwiches shaped like hearts and lots and lots of people whom I love.

Does it get better than this?

We have put all spending on hold, hoping to take a few small day trips when THGGM has his next vacation.

I'm shocked at how much I can do with what I have on hand!Why, don't throw out that last ounce of unfinished formula! Squirt it on the table and use it as paint, or hair care product! Famke is SO VERY funny. Even though she is in pain from hatching a batch of four molars, she is ever so enjoyable to have around.

Today, when her mommy left for work, she called back to us, "I love you!" Jonge responded with "I love you!" and not to be left out, Famke said it too!

Then, as I retold the story to my dad when he came, she said it for him, too!

My sister stopped over also, just in time to help Famke with her bottle. Famke LOVES that she wears beautiful necklaces and actually lets her touch them! My sister also brought me Madeleine L'Engle's "Summer of the Great Grandmother". I started that tonight, but will switch over to "The Scent of Water" as I don't want to read something as emotional as "Summer..." just before I attempt sleep.
