Yup, the girl is happy to have us back home again.
ford anglia – 29 aug 2011
This one doesn’t fly on its own, unfortunately.
with justin – 28 aug 2011
On the way home from Chicago, we made a pit stop in Champaign. And got to catch a Justin Roberts concert! All pit stops should be that much fun.
with ralph – 27 aug 2011
After a relaxing morning and then a stop at the Stitches marketplace, we made it to the Palatine Street Festival where Chloe went in the bounce house, we had some pizza and then Ralph put on a great concert!
chicago koa – 26 aug 2011
After a day of working, driving, getting lost and delivering the organ, we made it to the KOA, where we set up camp and had a nice dinner — and were a nice dinner too. So many mosquitoes!
evie’s organ – 25 aug 2011
No, we didn’t decide that we needed live music in the car … After a day of work, homeschooling, gymnastics and errands, we hit the road to head to Chicago to deliver this organ to our friend Ralph.
leon’s – 24 aug 2011
After taking care of some errands, we decided to stop in a Leon’s for a quick drink.
siam thai – 23 aug 2011
We went out for dinner in Decatur at Siam Thai — the girls loved the way the straws were decorated!
amy – 22 aug 2011
The girls are preparing from Dragon*Con by dyeing their hair. Here Chloe is sporting her red “Amy Pond” hair.
girls – 21 aug 2011
The girls and I did some “girl bonding” today and dyed our hair. The girls dyed their hair in preparation for their Dragon*Con costumes. I dyed mine in order to cover up the greys. So now my hair has been cut and dyed by children — and, well, looks it too. Oh well. It is
tomatoes – 20 aug 2011
These traffic-light tomatoes were part of our CSA share. I’ve made tomato sauce and salsa and also eaten them raw. Yum!
necklace – 19 aug 2011
Chloe made her new necklace all by herself; she’s been in a crafty mood lately!
chopping tomatoes – 18 aug 2011
Last night, we went to pick up our CSA basket from up the street. Today I was faced with the task of figuring out what to do with tons of tomatoes and okra…
crayons – 17 aug 2011
Chloe pulled out the “oil pastels” today to do a little art project…
happy cat – 16 aug 2011
Gazoo is quite happy to have us home again!
master magis – 15 aug 2011
The girls loved having MagiQuest right outside the door of our hotel room. Chloe was a little frustrated at one point, but ended up having a blast and helping out others who didn’t know what they were doing …
great wolf – 14 aug 2011
Last year we visited Wilderness at the Smokies for our school year kickoff. This year, we kicked it up a notch and came to the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC. While I’m finding the waterpark to be less impressive (albeit CLEANER), the fact that there is MagiQuest in the hallways just outside our room
soup – 13 aug 2011
The theme of August’s Happiness Project is “cooking”. I’ve cleaned the kitchen, organized the spices and bought a few new supplies. Finally, it is time to try out new recipes! Not really low carb, but I made a corn soup from Vegetarian Times tonight!
doctor who lunch – 12 aug 2011
At Cost Plus/World Market, Camille found a can of instant custard, apparently a favorite of Doctor Who. The girls made “fish and chips” and custard for a special Doctor Who lunch.
reading – 11 aug 2011
Chloe finished her book on the trip home, and then moved on to reading “Henry Potty” on the iPad. Gotta love having so many books on hand without having to take up lots of room in the car.
