instagram: costuming
Camille spends part of her “free time” drawing and part on “costuming”. I’m not sure when she’ll wear all the costumes pieces she’s been creating — a different outfit each day of Dragon*Con next year?
instagram: roadtrip kitty
Gazoo doesn’t love heading in the car, but she’s actually a good roadtripper. We’ve taken her to Texas a couple times and the cabin a bunch of times. She explores the car and often settles down to sleep in a seat or even on my shoulder.
instagram: tuba christmas
This morning we headed down to the Blue Ridge Tuba Christmas. Barbara played her euphonium with a group of people of all ages and from all over. Always fun, but colder than ever in this year’s temporary location.
instagram: brirthday snacks
I read in the AJC that today is a holiday in Georgia for Gen Robert E Lee. Since he and I share a birthday, it must be my birthday too! Though I didn’t get the brownies I requested, I did get a little birthday snack complete with candles and song!
photo friday: roadtrip
A couple weeks ago at Fernbank Science Center, I was asked to sign a pledge to not text and drive “For the safety of the kids”… No, I will not sign it. I find the current laws to be somewhat ridiculous. I understand the need to convince teens to focus on DRIVING. I’m all for
too much instagramming
I’m a little disappointed in myself as I look back on my photos from the past year. While I’ve taken a photo a day as I had challenged myself (I think I missed one day so far), I’ve come to rely on my iPhone and instagram far too much. I’ve allowed myself to become very
instagram: strongman
While geocaching, Chloe leaned on this rock with a plaque on it and tipped it over!
instagram: apple picking
We headed to Mercier Orchards today to pick up some apples …
instagram: working
This afternoon the girls sat down to study some math. Camille worked on proofs for geometry; Chloe worked on crunching census numbers….
instagram: my girls
My girls. They annoy each other. So different. But they are sisters and take care of each other. Such is family.
instagram: jumpy pillow
The corn maze advertised a “Jumping pillow”. Would the pillow jump in front of our eyes? Alas, no. But it was great for the girls to jump on … Chloe the gymnast had a blast flipping and jumping and being Chloe….
instagram: dishwasher love
Gazoo loves her dishwasher … the steam vent, the heat of the counter, the noise or some combination? No idea. But if it is running, she’s right there.
photo friday: tybee island light station
While we were Tybee Island back in September, our campground was just up the street from the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum. On Saturday morning, we walked over to explore. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were informed that no bags are allowed in. Not wanting to walk all the way back to the
instagram: lost toy
As I rode the elevator this evening, I noticed this lost toy. Poor baby is sure to be missing it. It was gone when I got back home, so I’m hoping that the right puppy got it back!
instagram: sunrise in decatur
There was a lovely pink sky at sunrise this morning. While I’m not thrilled with getting up at 5:30 and having to get Chloe up and fed and ready for school, I do enjoy seeing the sky move from dark to light.
instagram: new ornament
Yesterday when we walked up to Little Shop of Stories to pick out a book for our Season of Giving person, I also bought this lovely Decatur ornament for our tree…
instagram: decatur
The girls and I walked over to Little Shop of Stories tonight to pick out a book for our Season of Giving recipient. It is always such a joy to visit Little Shop, and we appreciate all the great things they do for our community.
instagram: game night
Chloe loves games. Rob likes playing games. I sure wish I enjoyed games more … it seems like fun, but I rarely enjoy playing them.
instagram: more stuff
Despite my need to keep our belongings down to a manageable volume, Chloe seems to come home with new stuff every day. I really don’t mind her acquiring things like this that engage her mind or let her be creative, I just don’t enjoy picking up all the pieces …
