Toy teardown
I did it! I got all the kids toys to fit in their room. As an avowed Meyer- Briggs P, I thrive on deadlines to get things done. The hard deadline is having everything out of the living room and dining room in time for painting. Instead of just throwing things in the basement, I wanted to take the opportunity to sort, reunit, and cull toys. So I did. It took about 6 hrs of work with some babysitting help. I got sick yesterday. I felt very fatigued today, but pushed thru. It feels good. Now for the art supplies and 6 months of art projects to go thru. I hope we can get packed tomorrow.
Social life keeps rolling along.
The garden show lives for another year. I went with J&C. It was a little stressful getting there and back in the limits of Sara’s school time. Laura has a strong will. I was able to go without a stroller and she walked the whole way. That was a huge improvement. There were some really fun moments- putting a butterfly on her hand, eating sushi at Blue C together, playing with star wars figures in the sand table, planting seeds. Less fun was dragging her out of a cool playhouse after she screamed at 3 other kids and refused to leave.
Sara’s had a bonanza of playdates- Johanna for an afternoon and EJ for a day. It was fun serving 3 generations of Motes tea.
Survived D&D on my day of sickness. Felt very tired. Will try to rest/Sabbath more tomorrow since Wayne can watch the girls.

Taproot is back!
Wayne and I saw the Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis over the weekend. What a fun piece about heaven and hell. I never read the book, but am curious now how true the play adaptation was.
Wayne also improved our kitchen and dining room lighting after hours of work. We replaced our old, dusty dining room chandelier. We’re also picking out colors for the dining room and living room. We almost picked sunset hill, but it was too pink. Still, it would have been way cool.
I cleaned out the toolroom so our bikes can coexist and we have a walking path. Toy teardown is commencing (organizing all the kids toys) since I have to clear the living room of toys. I hate organizing, but love the end result.

Bits
Science experiment #2. Lava lamp. Oil and water separate.
Laura drew this, handed it to me, and said, “this is an email for Mommy.”
Played at the park today with new friends. Lessons in negotiations between 5 kids.
Helped at church tonight with Alpha. What a killer meal!

Blood and chocolate
Monday, Wayne and I had a defacto Valentine’s. We will be busy visiting and I was worried about the romance getting lost in life’s business. I think God decided to make it happen. Monday is our longest day (since I work all day) and I was tired. Wayne had stayed home. He had worked at cupcake royale. He had hinted that he got me a sweet. I didn’t realize he had gotten me a deathcake, a sumptuous theo chocolate, espresso ganache cake. I had tried and failed to get one on Friday and figured it would be lost in the business of prepping for travels. We also had gotten 300 in the mail from netflix. I had requested it a month ago, but various other movies took priority. I had not expected it to come.
The kids went to bed as we snuck into the kitchen to split our chocolate. Then downstairs to enjoy blood and abdomens of steel. The best Valentines!
