10.04.12 (Thursday afternoon) - Grandma visits!!







10.04.12 (Thursday morning) - Walking to school, P's last day with the cast. Finally.











10.03.12 (Wednesday night) - Some excerpts from F's math and science notebook (i.e. her "hobby").





10.03.12 (Wednesday afternoon) - T had a playdate with a girl all afternoon. I think having older sisters is going to help him out with the ladies one day, when J asked if he had horses or ponies, T replied "oh, we have a lot of those" and started playing cowboy Barbie with her in the girls' room. Though after awhile T asked, "do you want to play superheros yet?"

10.02.12 (Tuesday night) - We watched the Avengers last night (can you tell?). P's commentary amused us all - "I think they really need more girl Avengers because the boys just keep arguing with each other and it takes them forever to get anything done."











10.01.12 (Monday) - Last week's schoolwork. P's artwork is on top, then some excerpts from T's "My Book About Me"







09.31.12 (Sunday) - Sunblock and hole digging on our last day at the ocean. Now it's really fall.









09.30.12 (Saturday) - Cool day with a warm ocean. Not a bad combination.







09.29.12 (Friday night) - We arrive at the beach (Bethany). Newspaper bags make great cast covers.

09.29.12 (Friday morning, part II) - Fall is underway.





09.28.12 (Friday morning) - We left for the beach around noon, so I kept the girls out of school for the day, but T still went to preschool while we packed. F saw one of her old teachers, who gave F a class Halloween picture from 2 years ago. She couldn't stop staring at it. Nor could I.







09.27.12 (Thursday morning) - When I pick T up for preschool it takes me about 8 minutes to walk there (with Coco). When we walk with T, it takes about 20-30 minutes. So much needs to be built along the way.







09.24.12 (Monday morning) - Spent the morning at Longbranch with Julia and J, the boys threw every rock they could find into the river. Seriously, every rock.







09.23.12 (Sunday afternoon) - We planned on checking out Mt. Vernon's market fair, but everyone was exhausted after the cousin sleepover. F went upstairs and came down with the Usborne Art Treasury, she followed the directions and made that cool juggling collage all by herself. P chose the free-form route.



09.22.12 (Saturday morning II) - One last picture before we turn around.







09.22.12 (Saturday morning) - Great Falls, MD - Before a photoshoot.











09.21.12 (Friday) - Recent schoolwork. T's is on the top and the other 4 are F's (she continues to love "meat"). P still doesn't have much, having missed a lot of school.
