Heart at Home

Another exciting day at our house. Well, not exciting on a grand scale, but certainly not the monotony that I secretly dream of! I spent a few hours last night at the hospital. Joshua has an ear infection. It took three hours to get a script and a bottle of ibuprofen. But sitting there, wishing I'd thought to bring my book, I saw so many sad little kids and I was thankful that I had a healthy(ish) happy family. I also gently steered my overly friendly toddler away from any child holding a dish or bucket. We don't need those germs walking back in the house!

Today at school the kids are celebrating book week. They had to dress up with a cruise theme. My hula girl and tourist were the cutest children there, naturally, but some of the other kids looked great too. Though I don't think I personally would be signing up for the Pirates of the Caribbean cruise that the older kids were dressed for. Give me a well shaded chair, a beautiful view and a good book any day!

The little birdy pictured at the top of this post is Neddy Seagoon, the surviving chick from the clutch I posted about previously. He's grown into a sweet little thing, as friendly and curious as I could have wished for. We have just put the nesting box back in his parents' cage, and are hoping for more babies.
