Well, Sandy is past and we are quite lucky. We only lost power for about 19 hours from Monday evening to Tuesday afternoon. The girls are off from school all week, Doug has been out from both jobs through today, and he will be off at least one of them tomorrow. Halloween has been postponed until Monday.
We heard a few thumps during the storm. Doug ran out to rescue this piece of siding that came down.
I think I showed you the beginning of this horsey holder. It’s all done now. I really like it. Plus, free, always a bonus!!
There has been quite a bit of cleaning and organizing going on lately.
The other day the girls and I spent $3.00 at the grocery store on a pack of Halloween cut outs. We then put them in the front windows and on the front door.
Now every time we come home Vada says “Hi, Spooky House.” It’s kinda adorable!
We all know the saying. Well this is my thousand word picture.
Housework and home repair. That is what my life is right now.
Anyway, here are some snaps of the girls that have piled up over the last month or two.
Yup, today is my birthday. It was a rather nice one.
I got my first present in the mail yesterday, from my childhood best friend.
Just a quick note to let you know I have not forgotten you all.
I thought I would share a few Easter pictures to brighten things up.
The girls and I went on a little adventure yesterday afternoon.
Doug was working on reading to children with his public speaking class. They wanted a practice audience before some of them got to go over to the elementary school to read to a whole class full of little ones.
It was an interesting weekend here. Doug got home a little early on Saturday, so he and the girls spent some quality time together. Doug bought some new Dinosaur Train figures for the girls, and much fun was had by the three of them. Apparently there was a carnivore convention. When I came back to check on them, the convention had grown. Later there was light saber fun to be had. Everything was going well until dinner. So many times … Read more
As usual, I’m a bit late in posting these pictures. We had a wonderful time visiting family in Beverly for Thanksgiving. So much fun in fact, that I frequently forgot to pick up the camera. Ooops. We stayed with my cousin Christine, who hosted a small Thanksgiving at her apartment. Afterwards Tom, her boyfriend, kicked everybody out of the kitchen so that he could clean it all up. Vada popped in and asked if she could help, and amazingly he said yes. I had to sneak in to take a picture of Vada carefully loading the dishwasher after Tom rinsed off the plates.
Later Tom came into the living room to let us know there was another photo op. Vada was busily scrubbing out all of the pots. She is quite the little helper!
