and a birthday party with bounce-house fun that continued past dark with glow sticks.

In our lives we sometimes find balance through alternating extremes rather than a more static right-in-the-middle type of balance. I kind of like it that way.
What a lot of wonderful Busy-ness! I 'specially loved the car birthday party, and the street art sale. Your week looks like so much fun. Joy all the way through! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about alternating extremes. We have weeks where we feel literally run off our feet—but in the Best Possible Way. Most things we do, we choose to do, so the busy-ness doesn't necessarily feel like a chore. And then…well, it's nice to sit, and read for days, with just a dog walk, a stroll on the beach in between. Yes, to balance of all kinds!
Busy! That is a lot of driving into town - you have a LOT more energy than me! And with 3 girls! ;)
ReplyDeleteDenise,
ReplyDeleteEven a few months ago this kind of activity would have resulted in serious meltdowns, so it was a bit iffy, but the girls held up amazingly which does wonders for My Energy Level :)
