Pfirst Day of School 2.0

Pfirst day of school Michigan Style. (Yes, I thought about Pfirst Day of School Pfifth Grade, Third Grade...But decided no.) The girls woke up at 6. Even earlier than Christmas! Then we waited for the bus...And waited. And waited. And waited. It never came.

So we drove the kids

Here they are...Pfirst day!

The bus came to drop them off, though! I had seen one of their neighbors and she said the bus just forgot their sub this morn. Oops.

MK in her robes. She's happy they aren't pink. I said be happy they aren't from Oxford.

Happy Labor Day Weekend

Spa!

Mary wanted to have a spa day with mud masks. She made mud in the back yard.

We cut orange slices and relaxed.

Aunt Molli and I also did masks.

So did Grandma!

Somehow I didn't get a picture of Ania.

Pfirst Day of School

PFIRST GRADE!!!

Western Colorado Road Trip

We went on a great road trip to Western Colorado, notably Ouray. They call it the Switzerland of America. I've never been to Switzerland, but I do know we had a great time. I don't know what this peak is, but it was when we were on a hike to Yankee Boy Basin but didn't make it for a number of reasons, one being a storm threatening.

I didn't make it on this hike to Cascade Falls.

I forget what this building is called. I'll look it up and tell you later. It was near the library where I worked while everyone else went on a hike.

Then we went on a boat ride. It's always good to be on a boat.

I'm baaack!

Goodbye new york.

Nervous! See you on the flip side!

Aunt Judy and Carol

Aunt Judy and Carol had their Civil Union Ceremony on Sunday.  It was a lovely ceremony, and we wish them all the happiness in the world.

The GOAT

Last night we had a goat. The girls spent the entire commutes plugging their noses because, as you may or may not know, goats don't smell good. Especially after they poop. We took the goat (Nillie) for a walk around the neighborhood. Mary did not like it too much because Nillie did not go where she was supposed to. Vittoria was much more excited about it (and about scolding Nillie when she went astray). Then we came home and the girls spent the rest of the night on the computer. The goat was not invited for a picture in the bath tub. This is the best we could do.

Do I want to buy a what?

Mary is going to Real Life Farm. They get to bring home animals for sleep overs. Tonight was a duck (Mary thought Katie would like it, were she here). Guess who is more excited about it.

The baby sweater is done. Now where's the baby?

This was my first Elizabeth Zimmerman sweater. It is the February Baby Sweater. I made a few modifications to suit the baby's mother and my tastes.What do you think?

Happy Birthday, Derek!

Hope it's sweet!

I burnt myself

I burnt myself while making s'mores. The hot marshmallow dropped on my knee. It was obviously sticky and hard to get off. Really hurt.

The Twins Gettin' Cra-Cra

Happy Birthday, Josh!!! (Me, too. Me, too.)
