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.
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 …
instagram: ollivander
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
instagram: sweet
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)
instagram: crazy girl
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.
instagram: georgia voter
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
instagram: gazoo
My Gazoo girl loves to cuddle on top of me, even when I’m not really ready to have a kitty blanket.
instagram: snug as a bug
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.
