hello hello hello

i just have so many thoughts running through my mind that i cant settle on one thing to concentrate on.  there is the red, red sky  two days ago with clouds streaking across the panorama making for a dramatic sunset, enjoying a drink on the beach with friends at the spit.  there is the hot cedar fueled fire the same night that sizzled my hair while i was trying to save my dogs from becoming tinder.  there is the thick brine smell in the air for the past two weeks that reminds me every time i step outside that the ocean is only 100ft from my door.   there is dancing barefoot at the pub for hours with my eyes closed, jello shots that make me shudder, 3 year old daughters opening birthday presents, chocolate chip birthday cakes with pink icing, and the CUPCAKES!  cherry vanilla, chocolate peanut butter, buttercake, lemon meringue, chocolate huckleberry........sigh.  what else do i have?  oh yeah, there is that homeschooling thing :)  i am a little irritated that lucien's "teacher" will not be returning in the fall, again.  we didnt bond as closely with the second sarah as we did with the first so i guess it isn't such a huge deal.  i still miss her, lucien misses her.  other than that, i really hope we can get his grade three math book finished over the summer and move onto grade four when real school starts in the fall.  he seems to have caught the money making bug recently, has been selling gnomes that he has made himself and after he had a blowup cause i pointed out he could be selling them for more because of how much time he put into them he declared he was done with gnomes and has now moved onto drawing cartoon books. hmmmm, i think we need to have a money talk soon.  off to the creek now and maybe a little wedding crashing, will be back with some pics to share.
