Sunny Days

Last week, as I remember it, was bliss. We went to our favorite park three days in a row and spent hours drenched in sunshine. One sunny afternoon as Sofia napped, I took Kardelen outside for a "book picnic," and we read nearly all of the (12?) library books we'd checked out that day.


As we packed up to go inside, I found that our bleeding hearts had begun to bloom! One of my earliest memories is sitting in front of the pink bleeding hearts in my grandmother's garden, and thinking that they must be the most beautiful flowers in the world.


When I came back inside after taking pictures of them, here's what I found!


Apparently Kardelen can push a chair up to the counter, climb up like the monkey she is, and grab the box of cookies as a snack for her sister, who had just woken up from a nap. (And to her credit, the cookies were all for Bia. She got upset when I snitched one!)

This week, we've had a few rainy days. No problem--at Kardelen's request, we set up our (huge!) tent in our living room. Hard to find walking room these days, but it's a blast!
