home time

my job gives me more vacation time than i can reasonably use, and that is a wonderful thing. i can't take time out of the clinic when the uw is in fall and spring session, so break time (winter break, spring break, summer break [as an aside, i'll take anyone who wants to join my campaign to add a fall break to the schedule.....]) means time to take my vacation days. i pepper them through my summer weeks to cover childcare, to go on vacations, to do the work of keeping our household running.

and some of those days, we go to the pool,


or the library,


or release our butterflies,


or build forts out of boxes,


or watch the sun go down.


those are some of the best days.
