A happy November day...

It started with the perfect coconut milk latté on a rainy, cool morning.

And then there was art time on the living room floor.  I pulled out a drawing pad and drew photos of objects like a ball, cloud, boat, tree, rainbow...and my little artist figured out how to master drawing with crayons.

The sky cleared up, and we headed out for a walk.  Suddenly, it was cool and bright outside, and Dallas was aglow with fall.  Sometimes autumn really does come to Texas...

The rest of our afternoon included lots of work for Mommy for our small business while the little one pulled books off her shelf and "read" them to herself or sat on my lap and watched Horton Hears A Who.  There was also folding cloth diapers, doing laundry, washing dishes, and cleaning smears of almond butter off sticky hands and the coffee table.  

And then, an evening walk...

At the end of the day, I found that my little artist had learned how to color with pen on the couch cushions and her pajamas when I wasn't looking.  But this journal is about embracing every day, right?  And that includes embracing the mess.  So if you look at it through those lenses, it really was a perfect November day.
