project life 2014–week 12

sunday: dave had to spend the day at work (again), and has been really wanting to hit varlamos lately, so we met him over there for dinner. YUM. major oinkage.2014-03-23

monday: micah entertained himself with my mom’s special edition monopoly game for close to 2 hours. 057

also monday: apparently toby does not think this would be a good time to take pictures of last week’s layouts…062

thursday: micah woke up super early and took full advantage of some (rare these days) daddy time! he was very excited to have breakfast with him.010

also thursday: and shortly after that, my non-early riser, layla, was up too! no idea why they woke up so early that day, but they were all very happy to cuddle up together.012

saturday: layla and her giggly girl friends having breakfast at camp lutherwood! 023

meanwhile, back at home on saturday: this is one of many reasons I love my dad. he’s outside working in the yard and micah got sent out to help him (ie, get some fresh air and quit whining about using my phone), so my dad gives him a SAW!, and a job to cut off some low tree limbs. love it.036

a couple of skinnies:

018   031

and the rest of these will go into an insert. I was quite picture-happy this week!

003  007

this is what it looks like under layla’s pillow. always. looks like I cursed her with my book ADD. 014

jazz festival at WHS. high school jazz ensemble, band, and combo, plus jazz bands from 2 junior highs, AND performance by the teachers. AWESOME. even though shane is planning to be done with band after this year, he is already planning to attend this concert next year, just to hear the teachers play again. 017

yeah, he’s 14, but putting shane on a city bus still freaks me out a little.022

love. just love.029021  026

project life–week 3

nothing too exciting here: and yes, that is a picture of project life! I find myself taking pictures of things I would have found very weird a few months ago, but when you have the ‘daily life’ thing in mind, and stuff your grandchildren might enjoy seeing, it puts a different perspective on things. the latter half of the week: I LOVE wednesday’s picture… layla walking home from the bus. we do this EVERY day, and this is what it looks like now. I’ll have to remember to take one in the spring, and again next fall. I also have one of the pull-out double size journaling cards, which I used to tell the story of layla’s new bedding, which used to be mine. and that’s week 3.

tag!

so this is mostly aimed at mary, but anyone can feel free to participate because i think it's kinda funny. i got 'tagged' by innocently reading a friend's blog, so now i feel compelled to comply. Find the closest 123-page or longer book to you and turn to page 123. (No cheating!) Find the first five sentences, then post the next three sentences. okay, so the closest book would be the soundtransit 'ready to ride transit guide', but i'll spare you that... what's next... from 'child honoring: how to turn this world around', raffi cavoukian, sharna olfman; editors: to illustrate this, here is one afrikan story. once upon a time there was an old man who wanted to have a monopoly of knowledge. he collected all the valuable knowledge, skills, and wisdom in the village, put them in a calabash (gourd), and tightly corked it. well, that was a bit random, but i think that's the point. have fun!

and today i...

...found two cereal containers (tupperware knock-off type) and their lids which have been floating around the garage for a year now. i brought them in and they are currently in the dishwasher so we can actually use them for our endless supply of life and cheerios. 2 more things out of the garage... (or 4 if you want to count the lids!) woo hoo!

vacation–day 6 (saturday, august 14)

saturday afternoon, we were invaded by LOTS of dapelos! uncle bear, mimi and lots of ‘kids’ showed up for a yummy bbq, some swimming, and street baseball. but first some of the kids had to pose in their ‘matchie’ shirts that gramma and papa brought back from australia. being ‘matchie’ was a VERY big deal. uncle david got to practice his very favorite hobby: sleeping with babies. we ate wonderful food outside in the ‘new’ backyard. everyone ate big marshmallows for dessert! (after the big kids made fools of themselves trying to throw them into each other’s mouths across the yard. and then there was more swimming… and then, the long-awaited street baseball! after some confusion about appropriately-sized plastic bats, the big kids and little kids hit whiffle balls all over the neighborhood! a lot of the balls didn’t survive, but all of ted’s sprinklers did!

2017–week 6

sunday: so it begins… that fun evening game where you’re keeping one eye out the window at the falling snow, and the other eye on your phone, bouncing back and forth between the forecast and the news source for school closures that may have been already announced. i may or may not have yelped in glee and thrown my phone in the air when i refreshed it for the millionth time and saw BELLEVUE listed as closed! no work for me! monday: most of these will go into a separate “snow day” insert in the book. school was cancelled for pretty much the entire western half of the state, so much fun was had, playing in the snow. i took a picture of shane taking a picture of his measurements of snow on the fence. lol. a “new and improved” way to do dog sledding… i think they’re both confused. layla seemed to think this was the best way to get micah across the ditch full of frigid water… somehow, he made it, and then they decided it would be a good idea to jump it. i’m pleased to report that no one...
