im back, i think

so this past week

has been one of those challenges i would like to forget.

it started with what we thought was pink eye

and rolled into an all out body attack.

it was like one of those scary horror movies like

attack of the killer bees on your eyes

but it just wouldnt end.

today,

the third time at the doc

and i am pretty sure we may have found a solution.

i will keep praying that that is true.

so that is where ive been.now that i am on the up

im going to just soak up every little moment

moments with my kids, my family, cooking, crafting, and taking in the fresh air.

anyhoo, that book above?

just about the coolest.

my mom was having fun in ca and came upon these two great books.

the first: play all day...design for children

has a great quote inside:

life's a game--lets play all day

now if only we could.

we'd make fun things like this
and have mini puppet shows

collect a bunch of pizza boxes

and make some rad forts

set up some mirrors

and do one of my old favortie games.

it never gets old.

and this is the other one:

alphabeasties and other amazing types

freakin fantastic.

a truly fabulous approach to ABC's if you ask me.

i love checking out all the different fonts

while teaching ruby abc's.

good times.

and how cute are the little side illustrations with the letters?

they'd be so cute as little prints in a bedroom.

thats all.

pray i am really actually getting better.

just want to be a good mom again.
