butterflies

Last week Molly was sick – well sort of, she was definitely sick on day 1, but by day 2 I thought she may still be contagious so I kept her home from school. Well, home with my mom at her house because I had a lot to catch up on.  But my mom just sent me the pictures of how they spent their day and I must say – I wish I had a sick day at her house!  Here they are

Picnic

noticed butterflies everywhere

they then found this (on the tree house at my parents house)

 

and witnessed this:

 

I’m so happy my only nature loving child was the one to witness it.  I did hear all about it that day but it’s nice to have pictures to go along with the story.

have a beautiful day!

good morning!

I have been in Florida (for work - i promise) for. a. week. Yesterday I finally had time to actually see the beach and spend time with friends. As the afternoon was drawing to a close I literally could not bring myself to leave. So I stayed. This morning I awoke at 5:15 to make it to work (in an entirely different state) on time. It was brutal (and i was out of clothes so I look like I am going out rather than sitting at work... oh well). As I was driving over the bay (and drinking a coke, which i don't even like - desperate times) bidding my beloved second home adieu, this view literally took my breath away. What a lovely treat. It almost makes me think I should get up early all of the time.
