forbidden planet – 2 may 2011
A kindie friend posted on facebook that he had visited Forbidden Planet near Union Square, so I decided to surprise the girls with a visit to this scifi/manga store. Chloe loved all the Doctor Who “collectibles”! Camille was feeling a little out of place, though, and wouldn’t go upstairs to look at the manga ๐
chloe’s new friend – 1 may 2011
This beautiful musician walked up to me at Kindiefest on Saturday and while she didn’t recognize me, she did recognize the girls. And then went on to mention that she too would like a poptop (how she knew/remembered I had just bought one, I don’t know!) — though as we talked, it was clear she
ice cream truck – 30 apr 2011
You’ve never seen such a mad rush as the rush of kindiefesters when the ice cream truck pulled up outside the venue!!
belvedere castle – 29 apr 2011
As we walked through Central Park, the girls were super excited to spot a castle! Right here in the middle of NYC!
Photo Friday: RenFest
For a few years now, we have made a tradition of heading just south of Atlanta on a spring weekend to attend the Georgia Renaissance Festival. The girls love just about everything about it. The shows, ranging from acrobatics to jousting to craftspeople showing their crafts, are lots of fun to watch. The people in
times sq – 28 apr 2011
Yup. We made it to NYC despite the stormy weather. Fun times in Times Square, then off to Brooklyn!!
lavender – 27 apr 2011
How I love my lavender! I need to get it transfered into a “real” pot soon … sigh.
dumbledore – 26 apr 2011
Dumbledore was going a bit crazy in her tank today (the season, the weather, the blueberries?), so we let her loose in the house. She wandered around for hours exploring the main floor — we blocked of the stairs down, just in case. Unlike her standard behavior, she didn’t head for a corner — she
gazoo – 25 apr 2011
Gazoo has her own bedroom in our house. (At least she thinks it is hers.) But she also loves to nap in the midst of the working, homeschooling, playing too.
renfest – 24 apr 2011
Chloe loves the rides at RenFest — all human powered in one way or another …
pine lake egg hunt – 23 apr 2011
A chilly morning, but everyone came out in force for the Pine Lake Easter Egg Hunt! The prizes were these awesome felted eggs that Camille had helped to make…
Photo Friday: Sheep to Shawl
Last Saturday was a very fibery day for Camille. She spent the morning at a spinning class at STITCHES South and from there, after a pit stop at REI for some supplies for our upcoming epic trip out west, we spent a couple of hours at Sheep to Shawl at the Atlanta History Center. The
pine puddle – 21 apr 2011
Pine Lake is being empties do that it can be dredged. It is not very attractive. And as it gets hotter, how will it smell??
windows – 20 apr 2011
It kept threatening to rain all day. Finally, in the middle of the night, the storm came through. And kept me up. *Yawn.*
camboodle – 19 apr 2011
Camille has finished two more pouches and will be listing them soon on Camboodle.
spring – 17 apr 2011
Gazoo is enjoying these spring days!
Photo Friday: What a Name!
Last weekend, we staye at Indian Springs State Park which is located in the unfortunately named Butts County. Fortunately, it appears that the residents of the county take the name in stride! This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
sheep to shawl – 16 apr 2011
We headed from STITCHES South to “Sheep to Shawl” at the Atlanta History Center — a very fiber-y day! We watched the sheep being sheared, too some of the wool, washed it and carded it too!
stitches – 15 apr 2011
Camille’s idea of a “candy store”!!
U-Joint – 14 apr 2011
As I’ve mentioned, Thursday is my very least favorite day of the week. It starts out with me being on a conf call while getting the girls out the door and to Decatur for classes. Then 4.5 hours in the kind of building that drives me nuts. Add in the library and an hour in
