Quin and Syd willingly posed for these pictures in their new twirly skirts. I was feeling inspired by these fun fabrics, Quincy's is Anna Griffin! You could call it my homage to all of those sewing classes I took in high school. Between sewing, hanging sheets out on the clothesline and wearing an apron while cooking dinner you could call me a regular June Cleaver.
Actually, I think this domestic behavior is the welcome antithesis to my hours in the HBLL reading, writing and researching. I am thoroughly enjoying my PhD work and I think that studying part-time (a.k.a. the wee hours of the morning) is really the perfect solution for a busy mommy. It is amazing how many arguments and solutions to research questions become clear and focused while changing diapers, taking walks around the block, and watching my kids play.
Who says that raising children well can only be described as a good and moral thing to do - it takes some brains and immense physical stamina honey (have you tried persuading a four year old to eat green beans lately)?
