it's been that kind of a day

An extremely busy (bordering on exhausting),

very messy,

(though Aida still managed to get some of her organizing in)

fun but with a bit of a headache kind of day.

Life is so sweet. After my girls had a long soak in the tub - long enough for the dirt and sand to float out from underneath their nails and their sweet little fingers and toes to prune up - they let me snuggle them for a minute.

AND...look whose husband brought home some chocolate pie.

(I might let him have one piece.)

After pie comes bed, glorious bed, puffy down blanket and all. Mmmm, can't wait.
