“So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.”*

What a long, hard week this has been! But it is Friday at last and I am ready to relax a little.

Yesterday in the midst of numerous Zoom calls/classes and a national conference, the wee babes came over for a short visit while their dad went downtown to pick up a desk for me. I had won it at an online auction, but it was too big for ‘my Cooper,’ so he went in his pickup to fetch it. The babes were on “fall break” so he had them in the morning–life is so complicated!

We had an hour of diverting play while he was gone. We improvised a fun game with the Beanie Babies–sorting them into groups. Which ones live in the ocean, which ones live in the forest, which ones live in Africa. They knew!

Who says I can’t multi-task anymore?
Jumping on the trampoline is the best!
The bud checked out the plumber’s van before coming inside. Yes, the plumbers were at our house too.

Later in the day when Lottie went to her dance class, the wee laddie came back over.

We counted the dogs–15! The cats–8!

Then we settled in to watch TruckTunes…

Good times

So anyway, I am rearranging my work space. I have been working remotely at home for seven months and any improvement is welcome.

This new desk has a much bigger work surface and looks pretty good for $20.

What a day! I even FaceTimed with daughter #2 and Katiebelle while they were taking a walk. But, boy, I am ready for some downtime and a margarita!

Have a good weekend.
