Full House

Oliver was working on city planning earlier today,

 and he was busy making packages for his Aunt Lis, and thank you cards for cousins Kathryn and Elizabeth,

I, apparently, needed a building to go to work in,

 and the museum called and wanted some artwork done in the "toy bulldozer and steam roller" style,

and then Mama James needed to take a rest.

This really isn't about me planning great craft ideas or really engaging in play with Oliver (because nobody is perfect at that);  I'm just so thankful for our very full, very full home.  All this mess is one big beautiful gift.  I hope this spring-like, bubbly thanks still streams out even on the cold, gray days.
