Magic.

It's like magic.  You can have a day with a bored five-year-old, cranky three-year-old, over-worked mom and dad and just like that- everyone's in a great mood.










The beach is magic.

Home.

Found here

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

Hawaiian prayer

Ambrose learned a little Hawaiian prayer at preschool that they do everyday before they eat their lunches.

Lately he insists on doing it every night before we eat our dinner.

It's pretty funny.

And cute.

He made a video of himself singing the prayer while Asher babbled away in the background and I made my bed (sort of).

Enjoy.



Why is he always shirtless with foodstuffs on his face? All part of being 4 I guess. It's a good look for him really.
