friday fun day

juniper- "i want to marry daddy."
mira- "you can't marry daddy. you can only marry him when you're older."

during the wind storm this week, a huge branch fell and busted our old van's windshield. it almost went all the way through. we really need our trees trimmed.
add it to our list of home ownership needs:
replace carpet  {b/c of water damage}
fix master shower {b/c of plumbing issue}
redo master bath {b/c of mold}

homeschool is going so well {right at this moment} that imogen just wants to carry on into first grade. we function so much better when we have a routine and we know what is expected of us. i am down with carrying on school throughout the summer. you have to realize we can cram a whole day's worth of school into a couple of hours and we don't school every day. don't you worry, these homegirls will get plenty of breaks.

to be very honest my giant and i have a very strong relationship with each other, but for over a week we have been in a funk. do you ever get in those with your spouse? i am so ready to be out of our dang funk, where neither of us can do anything right. how i wish we could stop everything in our life and run away for a couple of nights to regroup, catch up, rest and pour into each other.

me- "come on mirabelle, what are you doing?"
mira- "oh, i'm just scissoring."

we played all day today so schooling tomorrow while our greasy monkey works long hours and hoping to do some outside lawn work.

happy weekend.

p.s. the coffee situation has been fixed. i am able to make good coffee again.
