trying to make the best of another long day

They are working like madmen on the Hardie House;

Lana and Luke will be moving in

a week from today

finished

or not.

Meanwhile

back at the ranch

I started the day off with the breakfast of champions

and the kids had smoothie pops and leftover oatmeal.

Then it was on to movies and legos

and baths - one at a time

so the floor wouldn't get soaked.

and

a bit of painting

For lunch - a picnic - indoors

made so much nicer with Latvian 'lunch sacks'

a hummingbird joined us

and then

a butterfly, too

Apparently

butterflies like smashed pooh.

Of course

no meal is complete without a spill

Lexi had the usual - milk - straight up.

She didn't spill.

After lunch

more creating

yes

that would be gum

but

she's being creative with it

so it's all good.

right?

I'm hoping for an hour or even two

of everyone napping.

so far that's not going real well for me.....

and now

we're at the halfway point of this l o n g day.

I imagine the second half will have more of the same.

And we're looking forward to having everyone

together

on a Saturday again

soon.

Whatever will we do?!
