up in the air – 14 jul 2011
What a bunch of silly, silly girls!
ear piercing – 13 jul 2011
Nine! Chloe is nine, so, at long last, she can get her ears pierced! A friend who is also turning nine joined her, and they got to get their ears pierced together! Chloe was a bit nervous, but she did a great job of sitting still and being brave. She now has nice little birthstone
chloe – 12 jul 2011
We rushed home from the cabin this morning and ran around trying to find a gymnastics outfit for Chloe. I convinced Rob to pick her up form her practice so I could go home and get some more work done around the house. Five minutes after I dropped her off, I got a call from
hotel “track” hallway – 11 jul 2011
When considering a trip to visit Chattanooga, I decided to live out my “lifelong dream” of staying at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel in a train car. Yep, we spent the night in a train car, on a track, but that never left the station. Unlike any sleeper compartment we’ve ever been in, this room
live in concert: lunch money
Spur of the moment (sort of), we decided to take an overnight trip up to Chattanooga. We’ve been wanting to return for a couple years now and hearing that Lunch Money, our favorite kindie band from South Carolina, would be having a concert there made it seem like an ideal time to go. We’ve been
lunch money – 10 jul 2011
I’ll write more about the concert later, but today we drove up to Chattanooga to get to see one of our favorite kindie bands in action. It was great to see them once again! In addition, we had fun at the aquarium, and, last but not least, checking out our hotel room at the Chattanooga
13 under 13 for 8 jul 2011
Mindy hosted the Sirius/XM Kids Place Live13 under 13 this week. (All week counts in here are approximate.) On its way down off the chart this week is “We Go Duck” from Justin Roberts. My girls, despite being too old for Duck, Duck Goose (or is that Duck, Duck, Grey Duck?), still love this song.
hogwarts express – 9 jul 2011
After Chloe came home from her sleepover, she and Rob went our skating then stopped at Target, since a birthday gift card was burning a hole in her pocket. She was thrilled to find the Lego set that she wanted, Hogwarts Express” on clearance! The girls started to put it together at home, but then
texas grandparents – 8 jul 2011
My mom and dad (Barbara and Phil) came out to Georgia from Texas (despite my mom getting back from Germany this week) for Chloe’s ninth birthday party! Grandma went with Chloe to get her cake (an ice cream one — unfortunately my favorite). This morning they got to hang out for a few moments before
Photo Friday: Roadside America (I-20 ATL > TX)
Just a few days before our “epic trip out west“, I was daydreaming about all the “Great American Sights” we were planning to see – Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite. But that wasn’t enough. What about the “quirkier side” of this crazy country? A very short search (we were running out of time) later, I settled
silly kids – 7 jul 2011
Chloe and her friend were being very silly at Chloe’s birthday dinner at the chinese restaurant.
gazoo – 6 jul 2011
As Gazoo’s birthday was just two days ago, today was her annual checkup. See how excited she is to go? She tried to hide, but she really isn’t all that bright. I don’t love our vet, but they are convenient and have never done anything that worries me, so we keep going … once a
pond plants – 5 jul 2011
Our yard is a terrible mess. I’ve pretty much given up trying to plant anything until I can hire someone to do the dirty work of tilling and conditioning, or whatever needs to be done to make it so that I *can* plants things and not have them die in days due to the crappy
sparklers – 4 jul 2011
To celebrate Gazoo’s birthday and the Fourth of July, we had a party! The girls made a cake, I cut up veggies for the grill, Rob grilled. Some friends came over to celebrate with us; we made homemade ice cream and lit up some sparklers too. We stayed up far too late but the combination
petunia – 3 jul 2011
A number of our plants did survive our long absence from home. The petunias survived and are now started to flourish with the watering attention form the girls. Petunia — reminds me that the last Harry Potter movie will soon be released…. !
blueberries – 2 jul 2011
What a blessing. Today as I put together ideas for boosting my energy, a special package of freshly picked blueberries was gifted to my by one of my friends and neighbors. These blueberries were beautiful and tasted so wonderful fresh that I was loathe to put them in my afternoon yogurt smoothie. How wonderful to
chloe – 1 jul 2011
Chloe enjoyed some time at home alone while her sister went over to visit with a friend.
Photo Friday: Evie
I can’t believe we did it. We lived in Evie, our PopTop EuroVan, for 38 days. She traveled almost 10,000 miles across 22 states. We traveled and camped almost the entire trip, visiting Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and a million other great sights. Evie is taking a little break this week, but we are
gazoo – 30 jun 2011
I figured that with us being gone so long, Gazoo would have forgotten all about us. But no, she seems to remember!
herbs – 29 jun 2011
The plants didn’t ALL die while we were on our 38 day roadtrip.
