big yawn
There were two hours yesterday when Ivy actually napped and the others played quietly
and I sought solace in making a huge pot of minestrone, with my apron on and Pandora radio and there was calm. It was comfort.
When she woke up she finished about another hour or so by sleeping on my back in the mei tai. I couldn't stop looking at her face in the mirror above my sink.
Gray ate two bowls of the soup and was thrilled that I let him have his own bottle of root beer.
Later I would put my contacts in and apply sparkly makeup and have a late dinner outside with friends downtown.
It was lovely.
you capture: black & white

Yesterday was lovely. I kept wanting to tell you how pretty your sparkles looked, but I kept getting distracted by things like martinis, chocolate churros, and having to pee.

ReplyDeleteNow this is what I was talking about on my post the other day.
ReplyDeleteSimple Happy!

And the Julie was the Jealous. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your minestrone making. Too dang hot here for soup.
ReplyDeleteDarcie,
ReplyDeleteIt is SO hot here, too, but I cranked the air and put on my fan (I mean, my Air Multiplier).

sounds like quite the lovely day! and I'd love some of that soup.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! Hot or not, there's nothing like the comfort of soup... :)
ReplyDeleteyum, minestrone. I have never made it but I love to eat it. I think I need to get a good recipe (care to share?)
ReplyDeleteIs it okay that sometimes I like my own bottle of JUST beer? he he. Love these shots from your life. Especially the sweet little girl yawn part. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds just right. You made my sigh a big contented sigh.
ReplyDeletesounds like a very good day :-)
ReplyDeleteHeather & all,
ReplyDeleteI've been making this soup for years now- it's the Copycat Olive Garden minestrone and it is EVEN better than Olive Garden (I don't always add the spinach, by the way.) Gray is already on his second bowl again for lunch. They can't get enough (and neither can I.)
Steph
Love the yawn. So peaceful. Doesn't black and white always make things just that more beautiful? Wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteI love days like you had yesterday. They soothe the soul and warm your heart from the inside out. May your future be blessed with many more such days! (HUGS)
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures but even more I love the story of your lovely day.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful photos. :)
ReplyDeleteSparkly makeup DOES sound lovely. So does my own bottle of root beer.
ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness!
ReplyDeleteThat soup sounds YUMMY... actually so does a Girls Night Out :D

I'm not one to drink much soda, but I do love a good root beer every now and then (and so does my 3-year-old). :)
