Hmm, this is turning sort of into a Memorial Day long weekend daily journal. I already documented our winter break of 2024 so maybe this is a second opportunity to do a daily journal…

The morning started with me and R hanging out. He wakes up, goes downstairs, wraps himself into blankets, and lies on the living room couch to wait for me. So stinking cute. I come down shortly after I hear him wake up, make coffee, and sit down next to him. He then tells me stories about what he dreamed of, if anything, and about transformers.

Saturday morning

The kids had gymnastics in the morning, and I had time to myself. Finished my book, painted with some water colors, wrote out the day in One.Focus planner. After the kids came back from gymnastics, we went to the library, got some books, found a new boba place, went to Home Depot and bought five rose bushes.

Me time. Objects have not been carefully arranged.

We have a flowerbed that had a wild flower mix there last year but this year it’s just weeds. Plus wild flowers may not have been the right choice for the side of the house. At some point, they all fought for space, and it got messy-looking. I spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon digging holes and planting the roses.

The “wind flower” section 🙄

More from Saturday camera roll:

Boba tea place in our town
A wild strawberry I found while gardening
R took my timer, set it to 55 minutes and said “when this timer rings, your nap is over” 🤣
Finished this last week

    Your roses are going to look great in that plot. I hope you had time yesterday to get back to it… And I’m so glad today is a holiday too.

    SO cute that R uses the timer on you…

    And would love to hear about the book at the end if you have time–the title is so intriguing.

    It was so lovely to meet you yesterday, Daria!

      It sure is – a good workout and I got to be outside. Albeit there was a bee and he liked me and just would not leave me alone lol
