A Good Day
Today was pretty cool. It started with our cleaning ladies arriving at 10 and thoroughly cleaning my house until about 1:15. They do such an awesome job and I’m thrilled to have this help. Everything in my home is sparkling right now. It won’t be long before we clutter it up again, but for this one day it’s been perfect.
Lucas is feeling better, and I’m no worse. I have a little bit of a sore throat, but it doesn’t seem to be developing into anything major.
Asher had good naps today. This afternoon I snoozed with him for a little while, which was a rare indulgence. Lovely.
I finished chapter 9 glossary terms. One more chapter’s worth of glossary definitions to go.
Ian came home from work a little early, which is always a treat. I love him so much and want to spend more time with him, without kids. It’s a problem we are working on. Starting next week we’ll be taking a drawing class together on Thursday nights for a month. If we like it and we can keep swinging the babysitting, we’ll try to continue beyond that. Our goal is to do a painting class soon too.
Our new wood window blinds arrived today. Ian hopes to install them in our bedroom this weekend. They’ll class up the joint, I think.
We went out for sushi for dinner, which pleases my Atkinsing palate immensely. Asher decided he liked the tofu pieces in the miso soup and gobbled them up. We rounded out our evening’s entertainment with a trip to Barnes and Noble. We picked up a couple of birthday gifts there and I got a new dictionary. Yay!

Yay for the art classes especially!
I found The Lion and the Little Red Bird, and we gave it to our friend who had just finished painting the walls of her impending baby’s room. It’s such a sweet little book, and it turned out to be her favorite of the books from their baby shower. Thank you so much for taking the time out to show me Asher’s room and talk to me about the book. It was wonderful being able to share it with another friend.

Oh yes! We are very excited about the drawing classes. They start this week!
I’m glad it inspired you as a gift to give. We love it. If you care to, check out Elisa Klevin’s other books. They’re all beautiful.
