For the past four years, we have hardly used candles in the house. Kids + Candle = fire, which means no house :( But recently, now that the kids are older, we've been using them only in our office + studio as a way to feel more "happy" in the darkness of winter. Neal picked up my favorite scents... liliac, gardenia, lemon lavender. Reminds me that Spring isn't that far away :)
Here are some photos of William smelling the candles. "mum, they smell so nice!" I know, you're thinking... what's he doing holding the candle. Well, we are of the mind set that if you let a kid hold or see something that is traditionally off limits, they won't be so gun-ho to sneak a peek or go after them in private. {I think this way about cookies + candy too... } At least this works for us. :)
So...what a difference a day can make! Good news on the car front. Our insurance company has decided that the car roof will be covered :) What a relief. So the car will be all set and ready by the end of next week :) Can't wait to see what our new insurance premiums will be though :(
Tomorrow we'll find out if William will be attending The Charter School. We've decided we're going to attend the actual "lottery". {I guess they pull names out of...something,...and announce in public who will be attending.} We don't want to wait to receive a letter next week. I think the wait would kill us. Wish us luck!
Last Fall right before the cold weather set, I took some succulents from my garden and put them into some small pots for the winter. I have them on a window ledge heading down the basement stairs. Happy at how well they are doing :) Aren't the pots lovely? They are made by Guy Wolff. Love his pottery.
