(Almost Feels Like Spring) Cleaning
After weeks of thinking about celebrating, planning celebrations, getting ready for celebrating and actually celebrating itself (all the boys in our house, including Chris, are having their birthday within 3 weeks from eachother. And I can tell you: I never met anyone more birthday-ish than our now five year old. I think he celebrated his birthday for about a week and a half or so), we are finally getting back in our normal rhythm. And this weekend we started to clean and sort everything in and around the house. It was great. And rewarding.
You could hear the voices of the children, running and riding their bikes on the street. The sun was shining, you could see sparkles in the few raindrops that were lingering on the garden decorations. Chris swept en brushed. The hydrangea showed her bravery with some beautiful buds. For a short time there, it really almost felt like spring.
And then Sarah and Lucas came running to the house. Telling us about how they were freezing, even with their gloves on. So we went inside. Where it was warm. Where there was hot chocolate and games and lego. I long for spring, I really do. But with days like this one, winter isn't that bad either.
My name is Karin. I sew, cook and
take pictures. I tell stories. I dream. I love books, fashion, hot
baths, conversations that make me re-think my ideas and opinions. I
fantasize and realize. And above and beyond all, I am mama to
Lucas, Sarah and Olivier.
