No.731: Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life // February 2023

A monthly project featuring ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.

Wednesday, February 8, 2023

Highlights of the day:

  • A gorgeous, spring-like day!  We sped through our school day so we could be outside.  We don’t have any sidewalk chalk, so the kids were resourceful: they found chalkboard chalk and used that instead!
  • The kitten is so adorable and entertaining, but also crazy and full of energy.  He doesn’t like to be left behind and will cry (loudly!) at the door.  Oh boy.
  • The dishwasher is being replaced at the end of the week, so we’re still hand washing.  I don’t mind the task, but hate that the sink never seems empty for long.
  • Lots of art being created around here lately.  My second oldest son has been working on realistic pencil drawings; I’ve been so impressed by his progress.

    The kitty is so cute! (I just went back and realized I never saw the post where you introduced him) How’s the relationship with Lucy?

      Lucy is terrified of him! We’re hoping she’ll warm up eventually.

        Scared of the tiny kitten! I hope they become friends soon

    Those drawings are amazing! And I am so sorry about your dishwasher. I agree that the saddest part is how the sink remains full no matter how often I seem to wash them!

      I keep telling myself it’s a blessing to be able to cook such delicious meals at home, even if it means ALLLLL the dishes to clean after, ha!
