After ecstasy, the laundry. A Zen saying.
Today was both heavenly and mundane. (And my sister's birthday! Happy Birthday Emily!) The sunshine, watered down as it was, was great, we'll take it, we'll take it. We spent most of the day outdoors, much of it in the sandbox, where I acquiesced and let Evelyn sit in it. After a couple tastes of sand she decided it wasn't all that great to eat, but really fun to play in! This was a neat milestone, watching Finley and Evelyn actually play together in the sand, content and busy with the cherry and apple trees in bloom. Other than shoes and clothes full of sand, it wasn't a bad medium to keep them entertained for so long. It was a relaxed day even though I'd hoped to get a lot done around the house. What was I thinking? Finley decided to stay in his pajamas until about 1:00 p.m. It was pleasant not needing to go anywhere but into a world of play and imagination, even if it did end with a few piles of laundry...
My brother is so cool...
Who knew sand was so fun?
