  Tonight I picked Shelbi up from Young Women's.  This is a girl who is over the moon excited to be a Young Woman soon.  She technically won't be 12 until October 22, but they invited her to start attending the Wednesday night activities early because they are preparing for a program that will take place in November.  Apparently, it's way better than boring old Activity Days, which is the activities for 8-11 year old girls.

  I don't want to make you feel bad, but our librarian is way cooler than yours.  She has pajama story time every tuesday night.  She's uninhibited, energetic, and animated.  The kids adore her.  Even I like to sit and listen to her tell stories.  Although I don't show up in my pajamas.

October's awesome.

This was 2009, the first year the girls got to carve their pumpkins by themselves.

It's totally normal to play the computer with underwear on your head, right?

Hogle Zoo, July 2010

  Every time we go to the zoo, we must take a picture of the kids next to the silhouette of gorillas.  Just above this it says, "How do you measure up?"  This was the last time we went to this zoo.  I don't want to even think about how much closer my kids are to measuring up to the male gorilla.

  When I picked up Ryan today, he was wearing this shiny new medal.  He was awarded it today for being the second fastest kindergartener to finish the Fun Run.  (I like how the shark on his shirt looks like it's going to eat the medal.)

  When I was growing up, my mom was very diligent about making us dinner each night.  Very rarely, usually on a saturday night, she would stray from the usual dinner fare and make us omelets.  It was a huge treat to me.  
  So Jeff's been out of town for five days and I thought I'd do something different for dinner tonight and made my kids omelets.

  See how well it went?
