It's J---heading out the door!

December photo 26

The day after Christmas we went to Granbury to see the grandparents.

December photo 25

This is Christmas morning Santa stuff. Our rug makes it look crazier than it really is.

B got some gum, socks, lotion, and Easy Bake Oven cake mix in her stocking. Jamie got candy, Star Wars Christmas figures, a memory card for his new camera, man lotion, and pens. They got lots of stuff, each one lovingly picked out!

J is wearing a favorite outfit (including his self-modified gloves) while he recovers from the fever.

J is back there in the blue bathrobe. He's a "Wise Man" in this scene.

I got the kids all dressed up and took their pictures. I'm glad it was kinda warm, for B's sake, in her short-sleeved shirt.

You can't see J, but he's there on the second row. He's a french horn player, and this is the final bow after their Winter Concert.

November 1-25

Here's my second catching up post. November stuff I took pictures of:

B was interested in heritage photos

My car is making patterns with the numbers on the odometer. I can't help but notice them.
I made a rainbow for letter R with each child making a segment of the rainbow.

The train. At the library, you're literally a few feet from all that power. It's kinda scary!

B at the Scout House with her new American Girl mini doll

J taking a picture of the mirror



J was in Flashback Fever. My other blog has more photos!

I was waiting for the train to pass one night. If you're an Aggie, do you know where I was sitting??

Turkey cookies for snack.

We put our thankful thoughts into a box this month. here are all our ideas on the table.

Another shot at school---writing on the white board is a rare treat for them!

B and the pecan pie she helped me make (before it got baked!). We sent it up to J's school for the teacher drawing right before Thanksgiving. Throughout the day, they drew teachers' names, and they then got to go to the library and pick a pie that someone from the PTO had brought up. I don't know who got ours, but sure would like to.

My necklace I bought for myself. I just totally love it. There are earrings to match that I didn't get, but if I ever get invited to a Premiere jewelry party, I will get them!

B got 1st place at the district meet for Art Memory!! Go girl!!

That's it--until I post this week's photos!

October Photos

I am catching up!! I am so far behind that I am just starting with a photo a day on Thanksgiving. However, I have some October pictures to share----
Before crazy hair day (braids in hair overnight to create waves that next day)
After

mini-Pumpkin carving

I can't share many school photos, but this one is safe.

J and B went to the TROUPE lock-in---J in his straight jacket, B, his nurse, with a giant shot.

J and Larry were in "Dirty Dealings in Dixie," a Gone with the Wind spoof melodrama.

Rhett and Scarlett

J and Lar in the same scene. Lar was the villain, J was Ashley.

Lar about to be shot----or was he?

I caught this guy driving on the road with his 4-wheeler. I am annoyed by him, and now I can send this to the cops??? I was inside my house, looking through the door to get this sneaky shot!

Another school shot. I made a number line. Red dots for even numbers, next will be blue for multiples of 3.

This school shot shows our calendar. We add a weather report on each day we come, and at the end of the month, we do a graph. What did we have the most of? Sunny or cloudy?

Dusk shot---of the neighborhood bar. Never been there, of course, but I liked the neon sign as contrast to the light in the sky.

This is our new police station in Bryan. I love the way the lights look at night.

Next post? November 1-26.

October Photo 12

J made All-City Band,a dn here's the group. He is the third head from the roght, looking right at lar, who was taking this picture. ;-)

October Photo 10

Is this backpack too big? Yes, it is as heavy as it looks. There is a computer in there, a bunch of spiral notebooks, a binder (and another binder for band isn't in there!), shoes for gym, pens, pencils, sunglasses, etc. What can be done? No one has lockers at this school.

September Photo 30

On Monday this week, J got his school computer! WooHoo for federal grants! ;-) It did cost us $50, which is not a deposit. At J's school, the Dual Language kids and the GT magnet kids got it first. In January, the whole 6th grade will get wireless laptops.

September Photo 28

Here they are, playing together . . . we have plans for Christmas music.

September Photo 22

I'm in the car.
With a camera.
Waiting for J to finish his activity.
And this is my product.

September Photo 20

I caught J napping this week, too.

August Photo 29

B took this photo for us. It's our rating of the restaurant Pyro.

August Photo 24

Here's a picture J did for me. I need to add it to my MySpace page, he says.

August Photo 16

I was trying to sneak out the door, leaving the kids asleep on the first day of my school. But I heard J's door open up and then B's and they had to give hugs and wish me luck. J said, "Wait, Mom! We have to get your picture---it's the first day of Kindergarten for you!"

So here it is. :-)

August Photo 8

Tropical storm Edouard came to our town. J was catching water and throwing it on his sister. There wasn't any thunder! J wanted to keep some of Edourad's water in a jar---I still don't understand why.
