Things always seem to find a way to happen just when you need it, don't they? Like last week, when our day was going in a less than stellar direction (I'll spare you the details)--all of us a little bit sick of being inside and playing with the same things we've been doing all winter, and starting to get 'at' each other. And then, miraculously, I looked out the window to see that the magical mail fairy had brought us some treats. Ah....
The big box was full of hand-me-down clothes for Adelaide from a friend (thank you, Erin!) which fortunately contained a pink tutu big enough to qualify as a Glinda costume for Ezra. Perfect. And then in the other box was this wonderful array of goodies from Wendy, as a 'just because'. And oh, how perfectly timed it was. Paints and canvases to keep the babes happy all afternoon, and fabric and magazines to keep the mama happy. THANK YOU so much, Wendy! Our day was saved.
And the next day, this lovely little surprise came in the mail from Jesica, as a thank you for the Malia of the Hawaiian Islands book I sent her (how cool is it that she remembered that from her own childhood?). The apron dress she made for Adelaide is just beautiful. Thank YOU, Jesica!
