Ash and Plaid

Dear Silas,
When I'm doing laundry can you please stay out of mischief? For five minutes? I don't like walking into the living room and finding the fireplace open and ash all over the floor. And, I know you don't like waiting in your bed while I sweep, vacuum, and mop up the mess.
Thank you,
Mama

Other than the ash incident our day has been good. School was completed easily and quickly and then we all had the most delicious lunch. The boys had toast with nutella (I first discovered Nutella when I lived in Australia. So good!) and since Eric came home to eat with us I decided to make something good. I should have taken a picture because the artichoke/sundried tomato focaccia was turned out so yummy! I will definitely be making it again. (But, not too often. It's definitely not the most healthy meal.)



For the first time today I dressed Finley in a non-pink, frilly, ruffly, lacey, girly-girly girl outfit. I love the plaid button up with skinny jeans (or, in this case, leggings) look, but I'm not sure about it for a baby. When Samuel saw her he said, "she's a BOY now!" I was like, "no, she's a girl," and he said, "then why is she wearing that?"



So, what do you think? If you saw her out and about would you think she's a boy? Here she is during lunch without the headband. It is a total Fall outfit and, personally, I love anything on my girl.

(I recently discovered fingerprints on my Rebel's lens, so while I'm waiting for a lens cleaning kit to come in the mail, I'm using my point and shoot. It's much harder to get a good picture!)
