It was a rainy, cold, windy day in Decatur, so Camille and I didn’t wander too far from home for our weekly lunch out. We just went across the street for veggie burgers and fries.

Camille and I walked over to her homeschool classes today; it was great to get out and walk even if it sprinkled a bit now and then as we walked.
home – 5 dec 2011
I received a FB message from a “concerned” friend-of-a-friend on FB (is there a term for this connection?) who visited this blog via my facebook profile pic (a QR code).

gingerbread house – 4 dec 2011
Each year, we put together a new gingerbread house. This year’s A-Frame is courtesy of Trader Joe’s. But the girls really want a Tardis. Seriously, how difficult could that be??

decatur tree – 1 dec 2011
After Chloe got home from gymnastics, we had a quick dinner and then walked over to Little Shop for the lighting of the Decatur tree on top of the store. I couldn’t believe the crowds!!

Chloe and I went out for a bike ride/walk, despite the chilly weather. While out, we looked at the Christmas tree, took a short turn around the cemetery and then stopped at Baby Kroger to pick up some ingredients for dinner.
tree – 29 nov 2011
Today we watched as the tree was stood up, decorated and then raised to the roof over at Little Shop of Stories. What a massive undertaking!

My favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving is to get out for a family walk; we went on two walks today. I found this colorful leaf on the first one.

After coming back from the cabin, shopping, unpacking and cleaning, Chloe was excited to have the chance to sit down and play a game with Rob.

Not only did this rainbow have the most vivd purple that I’ve ever seen, we also spotted a double rainbow! Stunning!
pumpkin demise – 21 nov 2011
The strangest demise of a pumpkin that I’ve ever seen. Someone (squirrels? deer?) ate all the skin and left the stringy bits behind.
