funny things are everywhere....

From there to here,

from here to there,

funny things are everywhere.
~ Dr. Seuss

Today I caught Isabelle reading Dr. Seuss' One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish... It is amazing how she can pretty much read the entire thing on her own.  Sure she misses a page or two or a few words but I am just in awe of her capacity to memorize.  A reminder of how much this little sponge soaks up - another big reason I need to clean up the ol' potty mouth... 

a little embarrassed that i caught her in the act...;)

This weekend was pretty laid back, we did one load of laundry after another, went grocery shopping and did a whole lot of this:

well at least some of us did...(during the day of course)

all lap space was occupied...

We also had an awesome drop in visit from some RI friends, Kris & Sarah... which was a bit random considering we aren't really in drop in distance from anyone - but we are so glad they did!  I didn't snap any photos...Sarah was looking a bit green and well Kris was looking a little dirty...so I figured I would do them a favor and leave the camera alone....(hahah- love youuu).

And today Isabelle, Owen, and I ventured out to the bounce house but not before we stopped for a quick scone at the co-op.  The scones are nothing in comparison to our beloved moscow co-op but they did the trick...

And now.... I am ignoring the messes that accumulate way to easy, listening to our little dancer practice her tap moves, slinging a sleepy infant (Melissa C.- OB loves the sling...haven't broken out the Moby yet), and cooking up a hearty minestra base with beans, potatoes and pork from Lidia Bastianich's,  Lidia's Faimily Table...it smells divine.
