Lately... & a difficult day ahead...

lately...

the girls played for hours downstairs with babies and toy dishes and then hosted a supper for G & I down there... they were very involved with the props and toys and it was so enjoyable to see them immersed in cooperative play... :) (and supper was good too!)

today they decided to use some sidewalk chalk... they chalked the stair railing out front, the step stone at the bottom of the stairs and all over the driveway as well... they had a super time with it...

It is 1:43 a.m. Today is my husband's late sister's birthday. She would have been 51 today. We lost her in February. Today we are burying her ashes. It will be a difficult day.

My littlest said "It is sad that the birthday girl will not be here" and I agreed. She then asked if we could give her a piece of cake. I said we would have to see how everyone feels... and she then asked if she could sing Happy Birthday too...

Isn't it amazing how kids can be... .... ... I don't know what to say here... I want to say intuitive... warm... caring... comfortable????? but perhaps when you read this you won't think so????

I should get to bed.... I have to make cupcakes in the morning so we can take one with us.

Miss you Cheryl.
