replied my son, equally earnestly.

Whilst some mothers might feel a pinch in their hearts due to an episode such as this, I've tactically decided to perceive it as

Back from holidays. Can't remember when I've last been this wiped out. Walked straight to bed from the front door, slept for 24 hours straight.
Now slowly waking up to myself.
Chose hunting for polliwogs (is that even a real word??) over antique markets, getting lost in the forest with my Robin Hoods over blogging. Have
truly deserved the full score Wonderful Mama points I've granted myself over this vacation.
Kids are so happy. Easter egg hunts, village children's celebration, fun new sports, farm visits, forest trips... They sure were in full swing, non-stop.
Mamie and I are also happy. But like so:

Do you remember that song? It started playing in my head when I first saw this collage by All colors of the world.

It's the only thing that there's just too little of..."
I actually spent quite a while today wondering which one of these photos best captures the essence of love... Well. On holiday one is entitled to problems such as this, right?
