27 Days

Today we went to church and then got gas and did our grocery shopping for the week on the way home.  Just Paul and I because Olivia rode there and back with a friend and Kayley had a friend spend the night last night and they ended up not going.  Once we were home we had lunch and then we walked Kona but it was a short walk because it was raining.  After that I just did a bunch of chores like cleaning the litter box and laundry.  I watched part of a movie and then had to go pick Kayley up from a friend's house.  Then we ate dinner, cleaned up and now I'm finishing my movie.  They all have to go back to work and school tomorrow but I took the day off.  I was originally planning on just doing things around the house but now I'm going to go to a mall 40 minutes away because they have some stores I need that the closer mall doesn't have and I might as well take advantage of the less crowded weekday.  Also, I need to take my ring in for cleaning/inspection and that place is right by this mall.

That was our Sunday, last day of the Thanksgiving weekend (except for me!  One more day...).  Thanksgiving leftovers are all gone.  Couple more days and it will be December!  Can't believe it.

Two gifts (and a cat) under the tree already.  But those are from the girls. I can't take any credit for being that on top of things.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
