Wednesday, Day 5 - Let the Good Times Roll

OK so I think the pictures from yesterday were actually taken on the 12th, but... you know?  I am not going to fix it haha... they at least reflect the mood.  Suffice it to say, I took no pictures on the 11th either. Back to the story...

After one day of grouchy laziness (poor Sally), by Wednesday morning we were feeling much better.  Grandma's bowling league was scheduled to play so we decided to tag along and play our own game off to the side.

First we took the boys to a local park to get some fresh air and exercise.  We saw crawfish, minnows, frogs, toads, Autumn leaves.  The boys threw a lot of rocks and black walnuts into the creek and got a nice hike in.  They also visited the playground.  We left the park and made it back just in time for bowling!

Noah bowled 2 strikes, one with the assistance of the bumpers & the other went straight down the middle.  He has better form than I do.  I am an awful bowler... well, inconsistent.  The boys made Grandma's day by running back and forth to visit her during her league game.  Their utter cuteness was the talk of the town!  We bowled a couple games, got the kids all hopped up on M&M's and gatorade, and then went home for pizza.

I tried to get the kids to take a nap, and was eventually successful (which would explain the pics I posted for yesterday).  They snoozed for maybe an hour, had a snack, and we started on another delicious family dinner.  After dinner everyone settled in to watch "Apollo 13".  I had never seen it, and after that I still hadn't seen it since I fell asleep somewhere in the middle.  Whoops!

We all got another good night's sleep, excited at the prospect of going to the farm and carousel museum the following day.

Appolo 13 was pretty boring even if you lived during that time and remembered the events. so you didn't miss much. LOL

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
