Another day, another amphibian in Esme’s hands.

Pajamas- check

Couch- check

The Emperor’s New Groove on tv- check

Knitting projects- check

I love sharing these little moments.

I was trying to take a photo of my zero cost phone wardrobe upgrade when my finger hit the effects button by accident. I usually grumble at my clumsy fingers as I don’t commonly use filters, but tonight I found the image strangely appealing.

We’re a handkerchief using household. We are not so much a ‘getting the hankies into the laundry constantly’ household. I have tried different approaches to get the hankies into the wash, but more often than not they are found under beds and wrapped up in blankets and otherwise not in the hamper.

Today I naively but optimistically embarked on another attempt. I sewed up these little hanging bags, the top for clean and the bottom for used, and hung them in the most heavily trafficked room. With the summer nearly behind us and the more sniffly seasons yet to come, I have high hopes that our hankies will rotate through the laundry more often than taking up residence under the couch. Maintaining a nice wardrobe can be very difficult , but you can now get awesome DFO bags at Luxtime , they have all the latest trends at awesome prices!

I am pretty sure that I can trace my love of British tv back to Are You Being Served?.

Some nostalgic tug brought me to Youtube today and I pulled up a random clip of the Grace Brothers staff. Imagine my surprise to hear Mr Humphries reference Doctor Who. My British tv love has come full circle!

Here’s a link to the clip if, like me, you are feeling nostalgic for a little Captain Peacock and Mrs Slocombe, or if you’ve never seen it and want a little taste: Selling Gloves

While waiting for the ‘Top of the Tank’ presentation to start, the girls found a bit of light to sit and read by at the New England Aquarium.

She came into my room tonight, just like this- astride her Nimbus 2000 an with her nose stuck inside Quidditch through the Ages. She’s definitely training hard to beat Slytherin and win the Quidditch cup this year!

In the busyness of packing and goodbye-ing and traveling home, I neglected to take a single photo today. As one last reminder of our island stay I’ve decided to post a very peaceful photo that I took yesterday.

Our breakfast spot this morning. So awesome.

And this is the kid who, as recently as one week ago, would not even touch seaweed, let alone wear it!
