Weekly what:nots...

The past week has seen a right-ing of things, enough to put life back on a more tempered and even keel. Such a nice feeling. And then today dawned full of sunshine which was quite the treat after a week of continual rain, crazy schedules, and two boys with colds. We did take in the Body Worlds exhibit a day or so back (along with a gagillion others). Squeamish-ness aside it really is quite extraordinary. I hope the past week has treated you well - did you celebrate Thanksgiving? If so I hope you had fun. Oh and this poem is one of the nicest things (thanks to Kimia for the link). Have a wonderful weekend! 

Love, love, love this image.

Thank you J Crew this is on my Christmas wish list.

Weekly what:nots...

Here we are on a very foggy Sunday. The blur of the past week was punctuated by exciting news - we have found a new place to live! Whoop whoop. In a little over three weeks we will be moving from a 'compact' apartment to a ginormous house, complete with backyard. I am seriously considering equipping R and the boys with personal locator beacons or walkie-talkies. And as I type all the things we've had in storage in New Zealand are wending their way across the high seas to Portland. Ridiculously exciting. As for the weekend - R arrived home from TED on Friday full of inspiring tales, we dined out at Castagna (the carrots with crunchy malt and walnut ice cream were yum-diddly-scrumptious), yesterday was a blur of Saturday-ness culminating in the viewing of Waiting for Superman - a blatantly raw and troubling documentary on schools in the US - well worth watching. And here we are - the weekend has almost gone. With R leaving this afternoon (for Morocco!) the boys and I shall once again be three. But we shall be busying ourselves in preparation for the big move and the usual this-n that. I hope you've had a wonderful weekend and that week ahead is full of goodness.
