--a quiet morning at home with both kids. I kept John home from preschool for his first sabbath day of rest. The boy is exhausted--mostly mentally--and needs to just be a kid for at least one morning. (Plus, Hava and John have both had colds this week. His is not as bad but still...)
--rearranging furniture to create new uses for familiar items. A small space for productivity in Hava's room. The changing table moved to the garage to wait for another wee one. Front room couches rearranged to let in more sunlight. A large ottoman converted to a "kid's couch" for reading by the window. Kid bookshelves more strategically placed. Forgotten toys moved to the garage for later rediscovery (or given away!).
--a new quilt made for Havilah (pictures to come in the sewing project post to come soon). It was originally made to be sold as part of a baby basket at the silent auction benefiting John's school tomorrow. But at the last minute they didn't need it and now Hava has her own homemade quilt.
--lemons off the tree. The oranges are still green but the lemons are beginning to fall off the tree. Fresh lemon peel smells almost as nice as lemon blossoms. yum.
--reevaluating everything in my life. Ok, maybe I'm not "enjoying" it, but it is clean feeling, healthy, and freeing.
--cool nights. The kids both woke up with cold hands this morning, rather than sweaty foreheads. The highs are in the mid-seventies and the lows are in the high forties. It is in November when Arizonans remember why they live here. (-:
