Chloe was home sick from school today, and thus missed getting to hear Adam Gidwitz speak at her school. She loved A Tale Dark and Grimm, so much that she asked for a copy of it for her birthday. Thankfully, she got a second chance! By evening, she was feeling much better and hadn’t had

\ Chloe is home sick from school today; despite the smile on her face, she was feeling pretty miserable….

Chloe is finally getting extra work other than just busywork. It keeps her interested and exciting about learning….

Gazoo kitty was happy to have us home! And we came home bearing gifts for her! A new “water fountain”, a new littler box and new special litter. Her lab results showed she’s dehydrated, so we’re hoping to get her to drink and pee more…

Welcome to the cabin!

Camille loves her new Wacom Bamboo Create Pen and Touch Tablet. She brught it with her to the cabin this weekend and has been drawing up a storm!

Last week, I wrote a little about our rainy day at Legoland Florida. While we had hoped for a nice day and a chance to go to the water park (we had been so optimistic that we pre-bought tickets that then went to waste), we had a lovely time nonetheless. While the girls are on

Claire came out with us tonight for Camille’s birthday dinner. We all had a wonderful time…
instagram: perks of being a wallflower
Thanks to our little book store, Camille and I received free passes to go see “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” at the Plaza Theatre last night. And as a bonus, the author/screenwriter/director Stephen Chbosy was there to talk about the book and movie and to answer questions from the audience as well!
instagram: keep out
This lovely sign appeared on the door from my bedroom to the balcony. I think it should say “Stay In” not “Keep Out”, right?

Camille will be turning 14 later this week, so when my parents came by this evening, they brought a cake with them. Camille decorated it as a “Portal cake”.
instagram: soon
We’re approaching the five month mark of not being able to use our balconies. The plants are dead and the cat is desperate to go out. And now that the weather is cooler, I’d love to have the doors and windows open … soon, soon.
instagram: new sign
Our new subway sign finally came in the mail! I can’t wait to get it hung up in the girls’ bathroom !!
photo friday: legoland in the rain
For weeks, I watched the weather reports, but kept assuming that the weather would be clear for our one chance to go to the water park at Legoland. Even as we approached and saw the clouds, we had high hopes that the storm would blow over quickly and we’d get the day we had planned

Gazoo wants to go outside on her balconies. But they remain a construction zone, even now that the weather is perfect for her to lounge outdoors. Soon, soo, we hope.

Camille worked hard on making dinner tonight. Unfortunately, she got bored part way through and try to draw while cooking — and set of the smoke detector three times.
instagram: fall flowers
The weather is starting to get cooler. And the flowers are in lovely shades of autumn. I’m looking forward to putting on socks and a sweatshirt sometime soon.
instagram: orange creamsicle smoothies
While Chloe and I were out this afternoon, Camille prepared dinner using a recipe from, well, Martha Stewart Living. I liked it, as long as I avoided the eggplant and the top layer, which was dried out. She then made desert from a recipe form the same magazine — orange creamsicle shakes … which I

Another day, another beach. The girls and I spent a few hours at the beach before heading home. While there, I spotted this strange cloud…
