Slipper Gets to Play

We enjoy playing Apples to Apples together as a family, and somehow, we have taken to playing while laying on the floor. Anything that can be played lying down will probably be played in the recumbent posture.

While we were playing, we noticed Luca's slipper was hanging out within our circle, and I commented that it looked like it was trying to play. Cue Dude giving Slipper its own hand to play, which was just a random card from its pile. It made the most random addition to our game, especially when it won a card. I mean, when the card is "athletic" and slipper submitted "dodgeball", it's going to win. We decided that Slipper just might have to play all the time from now on, it gives the game an extra entertainment factor that was universally amusing to all.

Welcome slipper to our game-playing family

A Beautiful Kitchen

I don't love cleaning my house. But every now and again, I have both the time and the inclination to get some deep cleaning done. This time, it was that sweet kitchen's turn for some good lovin.

Everything was taken out of every cupboard, decluttered, wiped down, and organized. After two days, it was a thing of glory and I was so proud of the work I had done. And then Matthew put the cherry on top with three wonderful words - "Let's Get Takeout." So this beautiful kitchen got to stay beautiful for longer than twenty minutes.
