What I am creating: Absolutely nothing. I really need to get back to being creative this week. I should probably block out some time in the afternoon before we pick up Arthur from school.

My simple pleasures: Laying in bed uninterrupted (seriously, I’ve been so tired); a good cup of coffee savored in the morning; shaved ice

What I’m planning: All the activities with Q while Arthur is in school. We need to establish some sort of weekly routine.

Looking around the house: The boys need to pick up the playroom today. I would like to have it clean before school starts.

Looking forward to: Hearing about Arthur’s first day!

From the camera: The twins moved into the dorm at the Indiana Academy! So excited for this year!
