Today I woke up feeling summery.
That feeling of: energy, freedom, relaxation, don’t-particularly-care-that-the-bathroom-is-a-mess-ish.
And the sky outside had clouds that make for lovely paintings.
And I wanted to paint.
And then I thought of making glass stars.
And making paint shirts for my kids.
And then I realized: it could be an expensive day.
But I also realized: I have half a billion projects I’ve already started/planned that I still need to finish. So I’m making my list so I can remember and not be tempted to go for a free-for-all at Dick Blick or Hobby Lobby.
Projects I’ve started that need to be finished:
Emily’s book
Kerr Lanterns
Olivia’s Room (which includes)
Paper stars
Paper puffs
etc. etc.
Everett’s baby blankie
Boys room
But I did think I should buy a toad today – a really awesome, big, fat sucker that the kids can keep all summer (until they inevitably lose it in the grass). I wish I knew where I could get one free – because of aforementioned predetermined loss. Do you know of anyone with a big fat toad they want to give away?
There are tons of toads hopping all around this part of the country; maybe I can send you one in the mail… haha, I don’t think that would be the best package to receive in the mail though.
My friend, Andi, got a frog in the mail once. It only had three legs.
