It was a beautiful cool fall weekend. We decided to lay low after last week’s adventures, so we hung around the neighborhood (after a fun bonfire night at the boys’ school on Friday). We indulged in cinnamon rolls and lying around reading The Witches, chapter after chapter, it never gets old, especially around this time of year.
I finished up painting after ripping up the old rug next to the floorboards to prepare for more renovations to our bedroom. It is coming along, slowly but surely. Andrew treated us to a late dinner of a 12-hour-smoked brisket which was fall-apart tender and amazing on Sunday evening. I had no idea what all the work was leading up to, and was pleasantly surprised! Turns out that guy knows what he is doing!The older boys set up a shop on Sunday, spending hours making origami hats, boxes, and other goodies to sell to us. They had quite a business plan, let me tell you! Emil spent plenty of time playing musical instruments and singing to himself upstairs, surely a way to decompress after a long week back in school. It’s so great to see these budding minds bloom!
It was a good, calm, relaxing weekend. Now back to writing and working and collaborating and ideas. Have a lovely day.
