Yesterday I bought a new train track set from a mom-swap site (because my kids don't have enough train tracks, of course.) And the kids spent all evening and all this morning playing with it endlessly. The older they get, the more easily they play together and the less more differently they fight. We took a bike ride to the store, too, and picked up the mail and some groceries. The last piece of my fabric finally arrived so I can now officially get to work making my quilt! I am so cripplingly afraid.

I put my plant babies outside in the sunshine this morning, because it's time for them to start getting to know the real world. I'll bring them in for night for a couple of days, but then once they've acclimated to the harsh Manitoba winds, I can put them in the ground. Matt also needs to build my raised garden before I can I do anything with them, too. There seems to be more and more things to do outside, which is drawing his attention away from the much anticipated basement renos. I wish there were three more of him around here to get things done. He's just one guy with a day job, and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

But we are so lucky to have a yard to work on, and a basement to finish. I am so grateful for our piece of this earth that we get to mold and create with, that my babies can use and enjoy. And how fortunate we are that Matt has a job that he loves, that fulfills him and motivates him. And healthy beautiful babies. I'm surrounded by wonderful things today.
