unschooler – 10 oct 2011
Today was Chloe’s last day as a homeschooler — in fact, she’s been unschooling for the past couple of weeks. She’s been reading waht she wants, playing with Legos and doing other various activities. Camille and I will miss having her around, but we hope that school proves to be a great experience for her.
camille – 9 oct 2011
Today we made our annual trip to the corn maze in North Georgia (well, actually, TN). Phil, Barbara, Rob, Camille, Chloe and I first headed to Arts in the Park in Blue Ridge, where we had delicious crepes for lunch. We then drove up along the Occoee to Benton, TN, where we went to The
school supplies – 8 oct 2011
Chloe is beyond excited about starting school. Tuesday morning just cannot come fast enough for her. I hope that she does love it, and it is a good fit for her. I’d hate to see her too disappointed by this new adventure.
cakes&ale – 7 oct 2011
Another day of moving : registered Chloe for SCHOOL!, ate lunch on the patio at Cakes&Ale, turned in a form to volunteer at the wine fest, joined the DeKalb History Center, went to Target and IKEA, assembled furniture.
furniture – 6 oct 2011
Another day of moving and assembling furniture. In addition, I went and got a new driver’s license. The girls picked up dinner from the deli across the street from the condo.
farmer’s market – 5 oct 2011
Another day of moving madness. The girls and I moved some stuff, put together some furniture and went to the farmer’s market. Rob worked on priming their new room. In the evening, Camille and I went back to Pine Lake early to pick up our CSA basket.
decatur square – 4 oct 2011
Chloe went to a picnic at the school she might be going to soon; Camille and I walked over to the square to the Walk and Roll to School event to see if we could learn about any bike safety classes on offer. We stopped at the Pita Pit to pick up some dinner.
king of pops – 3 oct 2011
Today we signed the papers and now have a Decatur Square address! The girls and I managed to sneak in a trip to IKEA in the afternoon, then take a walk around the square in the evening while Rob did some prep work on the girls’ new room. Camille had her first King of Pops
lakefest – 2 oct 2011
Lakefest this weekend! The girls had a fabulous time hanging out with our friends and neighbors. Camille sold lots of her pouches in the young artists’ booth. Chloe rode her bike up and down and pitched in to help as needed. I had a very tasty arepa from a food truck. Rob hung out with
on the porch – 1 oct 2011
I sure am going to miss sitting out here on my lovely porch on this beautiful furniture. Today lots of people came by, and we could hear the music from Lakefest drifting up.
pumpkins – 30 sep 2011
More of our fall decorations. I like this little pumpkins, but I don’t know if they’ll find a place in our new home or not. So many decorations, so little space.
fall is here – 29 sep 2011
Despite being the middle of clearing out our house for the big move, We took the time to decorate for Halloween and autumn. I love this time; three months of constantly redecorating the house (or condo)!
csa tomatoes – 28 sep 2011
Today or CSA basket was filled to the brim with greens. I better come up with a yummy green dinner for Thursday or Friday! This looks like it is probably the very last of the tomatoes, unfortunately.
magnets – 27 sep 2011
As “Mission Downsize” continues, we are going through everything in the house, figuring out what we need to get rid of and what we will keep. Though I do this year round in “Room of the Month” we are being even more crazy about getting rid of stuff. It feels great to let go of
camille’s cake – 26 sep 2011
Camille celebrated her thirteenth birthday today! Claire came to the store to help us pick out dinner and a cake — Camille decided on an oreo ice-cream cake, in the end! We had a nice evening, celebrating and watching Doctor Who…
camille – 25 sep 2011
Camille’s last day as a pre-teen. We spent time fighting hackers and organizing our piles of stuff for the garage sale.
gazoo – 24 sep 2011
Gazoo is not sure what is going on inside the house. She’s trying to stay out of the way and zone out, I think. She sure isn’t going to know what hit her when we move from this place with a fun yard filled with critters to our new condo where she only gets a
chloe’s room – 23 sep 2011
Chloe and I startled to tackle her room today. Amazingly, she’s excited to be getting rid of most of her stuff. She’s really excited to whittle down all her piles to something much more manageable!
new place – 22 sep 2011
Today, we met with the inspector at the condo. This was our first time back in since we’ve signed the contract. The girls had a great time trying to figure out where all the furniture and other things will go once we move in.
camille downsizing – 21 sep 2011
Camille spent a long time yesterday clearing out her bookshelves, dresser and closet in our “Mission Downsize”. I’m really impressed by how much she has decided is just no longer necessary. We will fit into the new, much smaller space …. At least I hope so!
