I took Chloe to the violin store today to ask about getting a shoulder rest and to see if maybe she needed to move up a size. While the owner kept pulling out different violins and asking Chloe to test them out, I had a deja vu type feeling. I then realized that I was

For Chloe’s September break from school, I managed to take two long weekends. For the first long weekend, we headed off to Orlando to visit Legoland and Harry Potter World. But for the second weekend, we got to visit a place that I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time…. Tybee Island! I reseved

Not only was the free hot chocolate on the square oh so sweet, the announcement that followed the mayor’s speech pictured here was pretty sweet too. (Big Community Announcement: Decatur Education Foundation Receives Record-Setting $500,000 Gift)

Chloe is still in a bit of pain throughout the day, especially when she has to walk longer distances, like from the car to the condo. But she is perky enough to be her crazy self… I just hope she can start riding the bus again. Mom’s Taxi is getting quite a workout this week.

Chloe had the day off from school and joined me when I went to vote. Having heard the news, she was worried we’d be waiting in long lines. Her fears were for naught; no lines whatsoever. We were in and out very quickly!
instagram: latest project
I take photos, lots of photos. But ever since I stopped scrapbooking, I have not made any photo albums. I’m slowly working to rectify that. I’ve created three photo albums using Shutterfly, and I’ve already started on my fourth. While the last thing I need is to add another project, I’m really enjoying creating these

My Gazoo girl loves to cuddle on top of me, even when I’m not really ready to have a kitty blanket.

Chloe is all cuddled up in her top bunk. That black ugly thing in the background? The fire alarm is so close to her ears that we have to cover it a bit so she doesn’t go deaf if it goes off in the night — which it has done a few times in the
instagram: party spiders
We were about a dozen here last night for game night — Camille made these cute spiders (kit on sale after Halloween at Target) for one of the snacks.

As part of Camille’s homeschooling for this year, I decided that an interesting topic for us to cover would be the history of Georgia. Camille has lived here almost her entire life and has yet to see many of the important historic sites. We started out great, visiting a number of “pre-European” sites, including a

Living “downtown” means that we can often go “carless”. Today Camille and I donated books, went to lunch, hung concert posters, donated “gently used” shoes, bought a book, donated CDs to and checked books out from the library, bought groceries and looked into the possibility of her selling her Camboodle pouches at a local boutique.

Rob and the girls headed over to Pine Lake for trick-or-treating this evening. I’m still not feeling 100%, so i stayed home and tried to rest.

A little over a month after getting it, the subway sign is now up in the girls’ bathroom. Almost done in there!!

Our lovely concierge is also quite talented! She made these cute little brownie mice for a party and brought the leftovers to share with her favorite Artisans, my girls (and I’m sure many others too).

A day mostly at home. Cooking, cleaning, laundry and painting the hallway. Plus, a fun Halloween parade right outside our front door!

Today the girls and I went to a fun Chemistry Day at Fernbank Science Center, went shopping for various things including a winter coat for Chloe and then to the Pine Lake Halloween Party. After having been out late the night before, I was too tired to go to the Christopher Paolini talk at Agnes

Camille, Claire and I joined this evening’s Decatur Ghost Tour. We enjoyed it, but I think I would have gotten a lot more out of it had I not been quite so tired ….

I’m still feeling very, very tired, but I managed to get the girls taken care of and out the door to my citizens’ police academy class tonight. Im hoping that I’ll soon get back to my regular energy level, but this weekend is going to be tough!

I’m very much enjoying my newly-found view from my desk.

This little guy has been sitting in our window for a while, and now he’s all decorated with the Halloween lights.
