Le Weekend

I just love the view from my kitchen window. It is so nice and organized now. When the sun hits those orange doors our kitchen fills up with a warm reflection. The wood pile is coming along...



Saturday, despite feeling crappy I managed to nag long enough to have Eloise scrub the bathroom floor, MaCall scrub the kitchen floor, Franz vacuumed and clean out the hall cupboard. I scrubbed the rest and cleaned out the linen closet. We ended up with two big bags for the Salvation Army and a bag of kid stuff to distribute at church. That always makes me feel better even if I am in more pain. Make sense?

Helga and I went down the mountain in the afternoon to pick up paintings - no sales. But looking at some left over work on the walls was inspirational.

Yesterday Doug and Michele came over for cheddar chowder and crusty bread. Saturday was stormy and cold, even down to 37 at night. Yesterday was clear and 70's. We moved the table outside and ate on the patio. It was really nice and that way the kids could play outside. The highlight was when one year old Mason put one of Hamish's poops in his mouth. He seemed perfectly fine to have it there but his mother was freaking out. Go figure.

Today I watched Failure to Launch, not brilliant, but entertaining, while I dusted and put up some Halloween decorations. At our house it must be Halloween all month. Franz bought a skull cookie jar, skull garland and skull lights. I put my foot down to his bringing home anything else with skulls. When this is all over a few will be going to his office. The cookie jar looks a bit more like an alien. Ick.
