We saw the strangest thing from Twirlin's bedroom window today (last night was the first night she slept in there all alone BTW). A blue jay dropped from a tree in our neighbor's yard, then a male cardinal soon joined him, and about three inches away from them was a male robin sunning himself. It was the strangest display of bird behavior I have ever seen. Maybe the cardinal's nest was close by and he was just defending it from the jay, and the robin just happened to be there? I don't know, but it was bizarre and I didn't want to forget it.
Joyboy has been getting into everything lately- between his trips up the stairs and his new act of pushing the chairs around to get where he wants, there is no peace for Twirlin' and I. We tried to do a little drawing and he was fluctuating between eating crayons and trying to draw only on his sister's paper (even though he was clearly given his own). We grocery shopped, ran some other errands, did some laundry. Performed some swinging in the backyard (though I continue to "get it wrong" by "back-handing" Twirlin?)- I didn't know that swinging could actually not be fun. Particular chile-o-mine. As J said tonight to bounce me back, "You are going to be Jones'n for all of this when they are 12 and want nothing to do with you." And the scariest and saddest thing is- I know it. Precious time is slippin away.
Sorry for the boring "update" post but all of my creative endeavors seems to be on hold until this household recovers from all of it's ravished two weeks of traumas. So much swirling around in my head that I must let go of for now. Perhaps some spring pics tomorrow from last week (the purple azalea is already gone, but the bright pink are just about to open!)
Before I go, one "favorite thing" from today: While walking the Ol-man there were lilacs EVERYWHERE in full bloom (I even got to draw one)- now to steal some from my friend's yard. *Tomorrow's Adventure*
