camp half-blood – 20 nov 2011
Camille’s hat skills are ever-improving. She just knit this “Camp Half-Blood” hat this week.
jeff kinney – 19 nov 2011
This morning we headed over to the square early to see Jeff Kinney, author of the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” books. Chloe was thrilled to meet him; I enjoyed seeing all the SNOW that he brought with him.
mind benders – 18 nov 2011
Chloe walked in from a day at school and settled onto my bed to work on some Mind Benders. She used to enjoy these when doing homeschooling and was excited to get some as part of her schoolwork.
on the same page – 17 nov 2011
Tonight, the girls and I walked over to Little Shop of Stories for an “On the Same Page” event. It was lovely to have such a fun party just steps from home ! We are settling in nicely to our new life on the square.
farmer’s market – 16 nov 2011
Storms passed, Rob and Chloe both got home in time. We all walked over to the Decatur Farmers’ Market and bought some Mercier apples, some baked goods and a sweet little head of lettuce. Now that things have slowed down, I hope to work on cooking more and love that fresh, local ingredients are just
autumn – 15 nov 2011
The view from our condo isn’t the greatest in the world, but it is a little quieter on the courtyard than it is on the street. I do like to watch people coming and going during the day and will be very happy when the hotel next door is done its renovations.
gazoo -14 nov 2011
Gazoo doesn’t often sleep on my bed. Usually she’s asleep on the back of the couch or a chair in the living room or curled up in Chloe’s top bunk (how DOES she get there?). But sometimes we’ll come across her on the balcony, in a window or in my bed.
chloe – 13 nov 2011
Once we were done “settling in” today, Chloe got out her art supplies (we still have some!!) and drew pictures to include in packages….look out Catherine/Christian and Noah/Jonah. Some Chloe love is headed your way!
camille – 12 nov 2011
Camille took time off from her homework to look at knitting patterns and catch up with what’s new on Ravelry.
gazoo – 11 nov 2011
While Gazoo knows this is now her home, she’s not too pleased with it. She misses going outside and hates the indignity of having to use a litter box. But, she loves licking clean Chloe’s cereal bowl every morning. She sits on the counter while Chloe gets ready for school, patiently waiting for her treat.
with ally condie – 10 nov 2011
Camille and I went to the Little Shop of Stories last night to hear an author talk by Ally Condie, author of Matched and Crossed . It was lovely to hear her speak and to get to meet her and have her sign our brand new copy of Crossed. I hope that Camille and I
decatur square – 9 nov 2011
Camille and I went out for a walk and had lunch at a place on the square today. Very nice way to spend some time together!
homework – 8 nov 2011
Chloe has spelling homework each week. Though she gets the assignment a week ahead of time, she chooses to wait until the last minute to get it done.
candy – 7 nov 2011
Chloe appear to still be enjoying making her way through her Halloween haul. She’s got it tucked away in a dresser drawer, probably in fear that I might raid her stash.
cleaning – 6 nov 2011
Chloe procrastinated doing her homework by cleaning the entire condo.
wine fest – 5 nov 2011
After spending the morning working on getting the garage at the Pine Lake house emptied out and before heading to Blue Ridge for the night, I volunteered at the Decatur Wine Festival. While I did not want to pour wine, I ended up having to pour. I am sure I dribbled on too many fingers!
girls’ room – 4 nov 2011
Camille enjoys spending time in her room, especially during the day when Chloe’s not around….
hanging up – 3 nov 2011
Today I actually started to hang things up on the walls. This was one of the first things to go up.
homework – 1 nov 2011
Chloe does have some math or spelling homework to do every so often, but it isn’t very much, thankfully. With all the tasks of moving and her gymnastics practice, she doesn’t have much time for it at the moment.
condo cat – 31 oct 2011
Gazoo is adjusting to the condo, but she does seem to miss being able to go outside, poor girl.
