The cold and dark days have arrived swiftly this November. It's dark now at 4:30. Always at this time of year I begin a bit of fall "nesting" to prepare for the many indoor days ahead (although pretty much all of this bunch says they LOVE the cold weather as long as there is mama's hot chocolate ready for them when they come in). A fresh coat of paint here, a drawer and cabinet organized there. Boots and snow pants tried on and ready to go. Books and games and crafts accessible independently. As I look around me and see books strewn on the floor here and games and craft projects there (I'm so impressed with the creative ideas one little inspired Kindergartner brings home day after day...can you believe he's scrapbooking!?!), As I look around me at the remnants of all of it, I am reminded how blessed we are. Not a minute goes by in the presence of this family that I am utterly surprised by what is said and done, and quite often a smile just creeps across my face because there just are no words to say:)
