Mission Downsize: DONE!
Wowza! It feels like absolutely forever, but, in reality, it was just less than two months ago that we made our first offer and a little over a month ago that we made the jump over. In that time, we found homes for most of the furniture, books, toys, tools and all the rest that
chloe – 13 nov 2011
Once we were done “settling in” today, Chloe got out her art supplies (we still have some!!) and drew pictures to include in packages….look out Catherine/Christian and Noah/Jonah. Some Chloe love is headed your way!
camille – 12 nov 2011
Camille took time off from her homework to look at knitting patterns and catch up with what’s new on Ravelry.
gazoo – 11 nov 2011
While Gazoo knows this is now her home, she’s not too pleased with it. She misses going outside and hates the indignity of having to use a litter box. But, she loves licking clean Chloe’s cereal bowl every morning. She sits on the counter while Chloe gets ready for school, patiently waiting for her treat.
I must be a Time Lord …
since I seem to have two hearts. (And two neighborhood email lists to moderate now …) We are *really* enjoying life here in Decatur. Chloe likes going to school, riding the bus, hanging with her friends. Camille likes being able to walk to Little Shop, the library, the park. I like how easy it is
with ally condie – 10 nov 2011
Camille and I went to the Little Shop of Stories last night to hear an author talk by Ally Condie, author of Matched and Crossed . It was lovely to hear her speak and to get to meet her and have her sign our brand new copy of Crossed. I hope that Camille and I
slowing down
The frenetic pace of our moving activities is finally slowing down. We have a few more piles in the garage to deal with, but they will be gone on Saturday. A few trips to Goodwill and a single trip to the dump — we’ve cancelled the 1-800-GOT-JUNK appointment as the piles appear to be quite
decatur square – 9 nov 2011
Camille and I went out for a walk and had lunch at a place on the square today. Very nice way to spend some time together!
homework – 8 nov 2011
Chloe has spelling homework each week. Though she gets the assignment a week ahead of time, she chooses to wait until the last minute to get it done.
school, four weeks later
When we started to seriously consider Chloe’s request to start going to school, I told her that if it didn’t turn out to be what she had hoped and imagined, that she would have to stick it out for six weeks. That would give her time to really see what it was like before deciding
candy – 7 nov 2011
Chloe appear to still be enjoying making her way through her Halloween haul. She’s got it tucked away in a dresser drawer, probably in fear that I might raid her stash.
cleaning – 6 nov 2011
Chloe procrastinated doing her homework by cleaning the entire condo.
wine fest – 5 nov 2011
After spending the morning working on getting the garage at the Pine Lake house emptied out and before heading to Blue Ridge for the night, I volunteered at the Decatur Wine Festival. While I did not want to pour wine, I ended up having to pour. I am sure I dribbled on too many fingers!
photo friday: lake eden arts festival (LEAF)
A couple weeks ago we haphazardly packed the car with camping equipment — as we are in the middle of a move, our stuff was spread out amongst our two homes. We somehow managed to bring what we needed to stay (sort of) warm at night as the temperatures dipped below freezing. This was our
girls’ room – 4 nov 2011
Camille enjoys spending time in her room, especially during the day when Chloe’s not around….
hanging up – 3 nov 2011
Today I actually started to hang things up on the walls. This was one of the first things to go up.
Mission Downsize: Day 1082
Okay, not really, but it certainly is starting to feel that way. Yesterday, I really felt the toll that moving has taken on me. After Camille and I unloaded the car, I took a TWO hour nap…and still had to go to bed by 9:30pm. I’m just exhausted. Moving is hard work. But a downsize
homework – 1 nov 2011
Chloe does have some math or spelling homework to do every so often, but it isn’t very much, thankfully. With all the tasks of moving and her gymnastics practice, she doesn’t have much time for it at the moment.
