My to-do list for this day is done. It’s not all I have to do, but it was the main things.
Vitaliy’s returning today after a week in Mongolia, so! We deep cleaned the girls’ room, and Skyla organized her tsuniamic-proportions craft supplies. Phew. That feels good.
Then, soup with meatballs (a Ukrainian dish). I fried the meatballs first, which might not be traditional, but we like it better that way. Meatballs frying, soup boiling.
Andre and I had a project we wanted to do together– cookies with frosting! On the way to the store we stopped for cocoa with marshmallows (A) and latte (me). Then we bought the butter, eggs, stuff like that.
Una plays at the sink, like she’s washing dishes.
She also likes to sit on a stool and listen to our CD of children’s Bible songs.
Andre put on Skyla’s coat that zips up the entire way! He says it makes him like spiderman.

it’s been a good day so far!
