a normal [moment] for us

[moment 100]

I often think, "if anyone who doesn't know us well walked through our door right now, I'm not sure they'd know what to think."

There was a moment yesterday where I had that thought. Our house was in creative disarray. In the midst of cleaning and organizing, we had pulled out all the supplies for projects we keep planning to do and never get done and leftovers from past projects. We put them on a table in the kitchen and decided we'd do them this week or donate them. 

So all at one time in our house we were getting candle wax out of defective or spent candles; making soap; and dissecting owl pellets (and saving the bones). We were sorting potions, organizing games and puzzles, and discussing summer plans. One of us took breaks to learn Ukrainian, another, German and Arabic.

And we had two crock pots with different dinner options bubbling away.  And we were watching a Harry Potter movie, organizing shelves, sorting through craft supplies, and talking about all manner of things.

All completely normal things in our household.
