Today our new washer and dryer were delivered.  I’m so happy I could cry.

I “signed” up to be the Art Docent for Hannah’s class.  Art is definitely not my forte but I’m hoping that the 1st graders won’t notice or care.  Tonight, Kira and I went to an art docent fair and we had lots of fun.  The first class we went to was on drawing a human face.  I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.  Mine looks like a she/man with gigantor lips.  The instructor didn’t have enough erasers for me.  Come to think of it, it was such a masterpiece, I’m surprised she didn’t want to keep it…I’m wondering if the police department has any openings for sketch artists…

I got a new phone on Friday night.  I am LOVING it and so is the rest of the family.  Angry Birds is a game that is occupying quite a bit of our time.

These two are often found right here…in the big brown chair, reading.  Love it!

After 4 trips to Home Depot, Tom fixed the garbage disposal today.  I admire his determination to get it done himself.

It was spirit day at school today...Snazzy Jazzy Day.

Today, Emerson and I cut out ideas for her Birthday/Christmas wish list.    She was so proud of her list and couldn’t wait to show her daddy.  Didn’t she do an excellent job writing her name on the bottom…including all three of her names.  :)

As I got into my car to leave work I looked up through the sunroof and thought it was too pretty to not take a picture.  I laughed because my car was covered in pretty leaves.  I really do love fall and all of the beautiful colors.  I think I left a trail of leaves all the way from Redmond to Lake Stevens.  :)

No picture today.  I forgot to get a picture of Nana and the girls before she went home.  Bad, bad Jamie!

Emerson has a friend she calls her daughter.  Her name is Canada.  This is a picture of Emerson and Canada.  Aren’t they just the cutest.  ;)  Canada shows up at the most random of times.  Sometimes we go a few days without seeing her but she always comes back around.  Right now, we’re not sure where she is.  Emerson thinks she might be at her home.  ;)

Happy Halloween!!

Hannah had her last soccer game of the season today.  She did really good.  She scored two goals today and boy was she proud.  She was also really happy that Nana was there to watch.  I’m not sure what’s going on with her feet in this picture, but something tells me she might have fallen after I took this.  :)

Today was Hannah’s Fall party at school.  Emerson and I went along to help out.  Emerson was so excited when Mrs. Ogden said she could participate in the class.  When I saw these two with their arms around each other it melted my heart!

Joey is the newest member of our family.  Caitlin and Alex got him 2 weeks ago and oh my word, he is such a cute, cute puppy!  She brought him over today for a visit and we all loved having him here.  Love those puppy paws!

Tom got to harvest his pumpkins today.  Such an exciting day at our house!

Kira, Mimi and baby Violet came over today for a little Halloween cookie decorating.  Kira made the cookies and the frosting and the girls did all of the decorating.  Tom was happy when he came home to find these beauties.  :)

Emerson and I had fun on our walk today.  We found lots of pretty leaves and a few flowers.  She is such a sweet and fun loving girl!  She really does know how to brighten my day!

This is what I woke up to.  It proved to be a great indoor day.  It rained and rained!

October 23, 2010

With Tom busy painting our bedroom, I decided that I would paint the laundry room.  I figure I spend enough time in there it might as well be a color that I love.  Apparently, I’m the only one who loves my “Mojito” walls…and I’m ok with that.  :)

Emmie hurt her finger today.  I had to interrupt Aunt Susie’s trip to Vegas to get her opinion on it.  I was kind of freaked out about the spot where her finger was turning white when she used it, so I sent her this picture.   I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it before but I am SO thankful Susie is a nurse.  She’s not just a nurse, she’s a GREAT nurse.  :)  I’m not exactly sure what  Emmie did, but I know she hit it on something while running away from her friend Aubrey.  Tonight, her finger is still swollen and  is a few shades of purple.  I know it’s really bothering her by the way she is favoring it but she insists that it doesn’t hurt.  She’s one tough cookie!  We’ll re-evaluate (send Aunt Susie a picture) in the morning to see if she thinks we need to have it looked at. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll be all better in the morning.
