One day, while waiting for Alice to get out of band practice, I was sorting the mail. Once I finished that, I was looking through the Amazon gift guide catalogue. They had a promo for a Robolx item, and while claiming it for her account, Juliet added it to my account too!
The counter was not convinced.
We had Kennedy and Zoey over one weekend. They spent quite a bit of time on their devices (though they were usually watching or playing together) but I wanted to take pictures for their moms, so I have a bunch of candid photos from the night. lol.
When it was time to take the girls home, Emily was heading over to Abby's house for the night. So, the path was a zigzag. Emily was first, then Zoey, then Kennedy. When we were at Zoey's the girls got out to see the chickens, and found the hammock. Zoey is attached to the backpack you see in this picture.
I got stung by a bee while subbing at school one day. It hurt soooooo much! I'm not terribly allergic, but missed a dose of my allergy pill, and swelled up complete with hives. It was an uncomfortable, itchy, burning day, but with enough medication I slept the next night, and it finally started going down after 72 hours! Even these two weeks later, I can still feel a bump at the injection site. So now, bees make me a little nervous.
Juliet copying down the brownie recipe for their class bake off. Grace didn't want her to use the same recipe, but I told her it wouldn't matter, since their team members were also bringing ingredients that would be different brands than what we use.
Juliet was telling me that her groups' mixture was a little too wet, so they added cocoa powder to stiffen it. ::giggle, gag:: And Grace was telling me that her group had extra eggs, so they were sharing with a few other groups that forgot supplies. Sadly, they were short an egg, but their teacher broke her promise of not calling (her mom) to come bring up one more egg, since they had been so giving.
I got to chat with their teacher afterwards, and she said that the box mix won. lol. The girls loved the project, and I'm so glad they have such an awesome teacher!
During Alice's fall break, we practiced her driving. She did have a small run in with a pole. It was not fun, but could have been so much worse. Billy's car looks a little worse for the wear, but better than a brand new car. The engine still runs, and the airbags didn't deploy. Billy bought a replacement light that he'll attempt to put in, because the headlight is not currently in operation. So, we can still drive his car during the day, but not at night. We may take it to a body shop once Billy is gainfully employed again.
Kristy gave Emily a dress, and some cute boots that just happened to match. She styled it, and it came out super adorable!
Going back to driving, Alice drove us to Spirit Halloween one day. I was proud of her for jumping back in the driver's seat after hitting the pole, I think it shook her confidence a bit, but she's getting better each drive!
It had been a long time since I'd been into any Halloween store! We spent an hour or so poking about, but didn't end up buying anything. They have some cool displays though!
My Great-Aunt Kay surprised me with some adorable turkey earrings! (I've been looking for some for years!) I think I'll start wearing them in early November, so that I can get a full season out of them! = )
Grace found a noodle inside a noodle in her spaghetti o's!
I know I'll be 'looking back' on these days in no time! I'm not ready, but will hopefully enjoy this record when it's time.
later days
