Day 1, Hour 2 of solo parenting weekend: the 3 year old is living down to every stereotype about her age that exists. She believes "independent play" is a crime against children. 5 year old wants nothing to do with his sister in this state and wants to make a chocolate cake from scratch at 8 AM

Really proud of the flower garden this week. Sweet peas for days!

A table with 4 vases of flowers on it. The nearest to the viewer is a bunch of ruffled sweet peas in lavender shades, the other arrangements are mixtures of many different flower types, included roses, ranunculus, snapdragons, and cornflowers.
