I almost didn't squeeze this post in today, but here I am, just minutes before midnight. I was with my sister today. One should never assume that a day spent with one's sister will end at a reasonable hour. Ahem.

So....

Yesterday, we:

had whole wheat toast with butter and preserves for breakfast, same as the day before
went to James's swimming lesson. He "dove" off the diving board twice (really a front-leaning jump -- almost belly flop)
played dress-up. I'm loving Fiona's particular sense of humor these days.
laundry and dishes, laundry and dishes.
had some lunchtime shenanigans based on these dogs (the dogs are funny, but my kids imitating them is downright hilarious.)
James proudly hand-sewed some fabric together, his first sewing project (unassisted by me!)
did a doll performance in the living room
played outside for a long time
it was cool and so pleasant!
practiced writing cursive (even James had a go with a "J")
enjoyed some chips with salsa made by one of my best friends!
had baked chicken, brown rice, and salad (with lettuce from our CSA and mustard greens from a friend) for dinner
enjoyed animal crackers as before-bed treat
listened to the crickets as we drifted off in our (cool) beds

uncommon grace
