round up: a picture is worth a thousand words

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what does my camera being devoid of photos of my children for the last few weeks say about me? It says I've been way too busy lately. Concerted efforts to rectify the situation started yesterday, and made me feel great. No matter how exciting a project may be, I love the feeling of a clean plate and clear slate.

Besides our trip to Point Reyes last weekend, it's been all "work". A new egg order, the donuts, the costume, the shows (photos soon), major daily messes, and stress. And late, late nights, the kind of nights that find you asking yourself what the heck you're doing with your life, followed by a cup of coffee in the morning to erase all of that from your mind for the rest of the day. I am hoping December brings some very civilized evening routines and early bedtimes for me, but it's doubtful. I love Christmas.

A feast for our eyes. Stella and I caught a few parts of Broadway: The American Musical on PBS. Fantastic!

The heater (has been ON).

Five eggs is a good sign we were all having breakfast together.

The nighttime scene. Confetti and a movie.

Holiday piñata egg preview number two: winter goose egg in subtle cream and white stripes. It's lovely.

First one backstage. Always.

The morning after a show required breakfast sandwiches and a cuddle on the café couch with Oliver.

Have a great weekend! xoxo
