Patrick: "Good morning Olive! Who are you going to be today?"

Olive: "Why a giraffe, of course!"

Patrick is another new character. I realized I need more boys in this Creative Thursday family! Of course he is a fellow after my own heart with his orange beanie and gloves. Thank you for all the softie love yesterday. I already have ideas for the next round of them....

And I know you will be thrilled to know that I got my weather wish as now it’s stormy and cold cool, so not "L.A." weather, but I LOVE it. Funny thing is, I always make fun of people who only talk about the weather, like it’s such meaningless conversation, no depth, nothing of real value, and here I am talking about the weather ~ but what I realized this week is that weather is something we all share and we can all relate to so it makes perfect sense that we talk, or post on our blogs about it. It makes us feel connected somehow. When I read other people’s blogs I truly enjoy reading about the littlest details they experience day to day. It’s never boring to me, because it feels like such an authentic glimpse into what their lives might really be like. Because all of our days are made up of tiny moments strung together. And it’s really nice to notice the tiny moments. So there’s my meaningful, thoughtful commentary about the weather :)

have a really happy holiday weekend filled with fabulous weather!
