Play Ball!
John is playing in the Diamond Council Fall Baseball League for the Withrow Electric team. He is on the same team with four boys from his spring team and five boys from Ridgeway Elementary school. Tonight, John had three, solid hits and did well playing in the field. Let the season begin!
Lunch Prep
I actually accomplished lunch preparation early on this Sunday! Everything is ready to go by 5 pm. I see some relaxation time in my future tonight.
Painting
Laura decided to “kill two birds with one stone” today. She tried out her new painting easel that Grandpa Ken made for her birthday and she painted a picture that she promised Alia. Laura was so excited to use her easel for the first time. She loves that the easel is adjustable and will grow with her. That is, provided she ever actually grows taller…
Laura has a great time painting. She decided to paint an abstract. She even finished with a flourish by splattering paint on the canvas. She did manage to get a lot of paint on herself, but she certainly had fun doing it!
And, now, for the final product. I hope that Alia loves it!
Couch Camp Out
Welcome Back
I discovered this in my office today. I think the second floor of ARC missed me! After a short excursion with an office on the first floor, I have been moved back to my original office. It sure is nice because I love that office!
School Bus
It is the return of normal school days. The kids rode the bus to school and that means that we have to be up at 6:15 and out to the bus stop by 7:00. That was a bit of a struggle today because Laura was crabby and John was tired. We made it, though, even if it was completely fake smiles for a picture at the bus stop…
Unlike last year, I got that picture of them getting on the bus this year. In a few years, this will be from much farther up the street, so I have to enjoy it while I can.
