Back to Normal

Things are slowly getting back to normal around here. The kids made a mud bath in the backyard, the house is mostly back in order, the kids are adjusting to all being back together and I think I've almost recovered from my summer.  My new baby K'tan came in the mail today to replace the one I lost and I could not be happier! I don't know how I managed to raise my other three babies without one. I barely survived the past two weeks. While I don't need it nearly as much as I used to, it is still so worth it for the times I do!

Our not-so-much-a-baby-anymore needed a new car seat and Aravis used the box to make a play house for Xury.

She loved it!

as did some others.......

And I found a cool way to display some of the random things we have laying around.

We're always collecting cool stuff from nature but I've never had a good place to keep the things we find.
They're usually stashed randomly around the house on various corners and shelves or stuffed in drawers.

This way, they're neat, they're organized, they're easy to find and they're easy to see. And since we go through at least one jar of sauce a week, making more space is as easy as washing out the jar.
