condo cat – 31 oct 2011
Gazoo is adjusting to the condo, but she does seem to miss being able to go outside, poor girl.
halloween parade – 30 oct 2011
We had a nice morning, enjoying breakfast across the street at Thumbs Up. But then i started to get a terrible sinus headache. I did manage to get the girls across the street for the Decatur Halloween Parade, at least.
halloween party – 29 oct 2011
After today’s massive garage sale, the girls and I headed down to the beach house for the Halloween Party. Chloe enjoyed being part of the play and the cookie decorating.
swirlin’ twirlin – 28 oct 2011
As we worked on building IKEA furniture, I saw on twitter that Swirlin’ Twirlin – two blocks away – was having a grand opening with free frozen yogurt. Chloe and I ran out in the rain to check it out. I had a little “Pumpkin Pie”; yum!
photo friday: corn maze
Despite the chaos that comes with moving, downsizing, a big release at work and a child starting school for the first time ever, we managed to make it up to north Georgia for our annual corn maze outing with my mom. This time, both my dad and Rob came along with us as well. And,
food truck dinner – 27 oct 2011
After gymnastics, we stopped at the “Food Truck Event” at East Decatur Station to pick up dinner before heading to the screening of “The Phantom Tollbooth” at the high school.
king of pops – 26 oct 2011
Though there wasn’t much that we needed, we headed over to the Decatur Farmers’ Market this afternoon. We ended up buying some green beans, honey and popsicles from King of Pops. Chloe’s first ever. And she LOVED it.
gazoo – 25 oct 2011
Gazoo doesn’t seem to be thrilled with the move. She simply seems resigned. She knows this is where she lives and gets food and attention. But she seems a bit bored, since she can no longer stalk the frogs and chipmunks. We are happy that she can no longer play and nap in the middle
the dregs – 24 oct 2011
We are starting to hit the “dregs” of moving. Little bits and pieces here and there. It is slower to go through the stuff, but we are not hauling as much stuff over to the condo. The top two floors are empty. The art closet is empty. The storage room is emptying. The garage is
lake eden – 23 oct 2011
Cold! Frigid! Freezing! Tent camping in the freezing weather is challenging. I wore my long johns, a turtleneck and sweats, smartwool socks, a large sweater, my down winter coat, gloves and a hat to sleep. I had my classic LLBean sleeping bag plus a fleece sweathshirt used as a blanket over my head. It was
with noah – 22 oct 2011
Chloe and her best buddy Noah hung out a bunch at LEAF this weekend. Chloe met him last year, and they became fast friends. We’ve gotten to stay at his house twice in the past year and hope to see them again a bunch this coming year!!
goats on the roof – 21 oct 2011
Again, we decided to go the “back way” to LEAF up 441. After the craziness involved in packing while living in two homes, it was nice to slow things down. We had an amazing lunch at the deli, including cookies and this strange watermelon soda.
breakfast – 20 oct 2011
Chloe seems to adjusting fairly well to her new schedule. She has to get up at 7:15 in order to get dressed, have breakfast and catch her bus. Gazoo enjoys the few morning moments that she gets to share with Chloe.
farmers’ market – 19 oct 2011
When Chloe got home from school, we headed over to the weekly farmers; market, a block away from the condo. we bought eggs, butter and some baked goods … we’ll save buying greens for next week since we are about to head out of town. It is so nice to have this market so close
tired girl – 18 oct 2011
Chloe is loving school, but getting up at 7:20 to catch the bus is taking its toll. We are going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. It is strange to have such a “schedule”, but I think it may end up being a “good thing”.
claire and camille – 17 oct 2011
With our move to Decatur, Camille and Claire no longer need “rides” to get together. Hooray! Maybe Camille will be able to start walking over to Claire’s softball games, and they’ll get to hit the Yogurt Tap on a regular basis.
gazoo – 16 oct 2011
Gazoo is starting to adjust to living in the condo. She doesn’t ask to go outside and (thankfully) uses the litter box (whew). We still find her hiding in the closet or in other strange places, but overall she knows that this is home. (I was sweeping up her hair even before she moved over
root beer fest – 15 oct 2011
Today we took a short break from moving — garage sales, hauling stuff, building stuff — to walk over to the First Annual Decatur Root Beer Festival at the Little Shop of Stories, just two blocks from the condo. We ran into the boy in Chloe’s grade who gets on the bus at the same
gazoo – 14 oct 2011
Gazoo was not expecting this. She knew something was up as the house got emptier and emptier, but this? Not in her wildest dreams. Living on the fifth floor is not ideal for a jungle kitty’s explorations. But, we her people, are thrilled that she’ll no longer sleep in the street and stay out after
home – 13 oct 2011
Chloe took the bus to school today. Camille and I worked on our work and worked on unpacking and getting our new home all arranged. Slowly but surely, we are getting there.
