Ooh, pretty. That's the smoke from the washing machine that just broke hanging in the air. Sigh. I hope the service guy can come soon. In the meantime I bought a mop bucket with a wringer. I don't mind hand washing laundry, it's the wringing that kills me. Also so glad the dryer works because otherwise I'd have to hang indoors.

This is the only full-body shot I can find to show @dragons_in_the_flowerbed my uniform of black shirt and skirt. This is a year or so ago but I look like that still, only the baby is smaller 🙂

Quiney calls this "pizza cat" no doubt due to its resemblance to toasty cheese. Also pictured is George vs George and the edge of The American Story, both really great books I pulled out for homeschool this week. #gleesoneclectic

Our power was out for a while today, causing Clemmie great distress. Big brother Gilbert to the rescue. "When are we going to get to the exotic animals?"

Perry made it in to the actual church today. Still in the back, still on the floor. Baby steps.

Two minutes earlier this was three nicely sorted bins of unit blocks, DUPLO, and assorted small hard toys like cars, animals, and figures. Now it is again a big pile of confusion. Clementine dumped everything out, kicked it around until it was all jumbled again, and then turned her chaotic impulse to the box of about 300 crayons, which was grabbed away at the last moment. I've reduced the toys by half but it looks like I need to go even less. (Honestly nobody really plays with the DUPLO. It just gets kicked around.) I also want shelves instead of large bins and baskets. Some things need to be in small containers of their own, but the categories can be more specific. Anyway. I've been a mother for almost 19 years and I still don't know how to tame the mess. The only thing that has ever helped is the principle of "less is more." Every time I get away from that it goes south. #gleesoneclectic

A sad attempt at capturing the sunrise this morning, but it was 18F/-8C and there was no way I was leaving the bathroom.

Working on back to front roll. He snuck up and turned 3 months old this week. He loves examining his hands and grabbing at things, particularly bright cloth. He smiles all the time at us and last night I even got him to laugh. Such a darling.

It's seeds and plants compared to babies and humans. ..I'm going to ignore my homeschool IG. I can't separate my life into stark categories. But I can use hashtags. #gleesoneclectic
