Rainy day

We spent the morning drinking coffee and bird-watching. This had to be done from inside the house as it was very rainy and cool today. So many birds out though and a few we actually had to grab the field guide to try to identify.

Jim picked Tripp up from his sleep-over party around 10:30 this morning. He immediately came in, asked for a grilled cheese, and fell asleep on the couch watching tv. Libby and I decided to run to the mall to take advantage of a couple of sales. She found stuff, I did not. It was a yucky day to be out so we made for home only to find that both of the men folk were asleep. Good day for a nap! We put in the movie, The Princess and the Frog to watch. This evening, the entire family snuggled and watched two episodes of the Simpsons before getting ready for bed. The kids area bit bummed about going back to school tomorrow but they will only go for two weeks and then they get another week off after Easter.

I took the above picture simply because birdwatching is such a favorite family pastime. The book on the lower shelf was a very thoughtful gift from my hubby last summer. I think it would be such a neat thing to do a Project Life journal made up entirely of daily sketches. I am not good enough to do that, but this book has certainly been inspiring to me, someone who never thought she could "draw".
