What's Up on a Wednesday

Yesterday was busy. Bryce took the day off, which I totally think he deserves after working till 11 p.m. the night before (Monday). Even though he was here yesterday we did not have quality time together. However, we did sign papers and have the walk-through of the house. Woo hoo! I think I come off as a "picky" person to deal with. I did not shy away from telling the walk-through guys what needed to be fixed. I just want things to be perfect. Even if it's only going to last 3.2 minutes once we move in.

Mary Rachel is beginning her weekly sewing lessons tomorrow with Sister Knudsen. She (M.) is really excited to use her new machine. (Thank you, for the birthday present, Grandma Judy!). Her first project will be an apron. I think sewing is a great practical skill, and I think my creative girl will enjoy being able to make things as she sees them in her mind (eventually). She already does a great job of making clothes out of paper for her stuffed animals.

I have a Sesame newsletter due tomorrow and I'm about 1/4 of the way done. I think it will go quickly once I'm in peace and quiet but with writing, you never know. Cameron and Harrison have their early intervention specialist coming that day and I suspect I will be tired from a late night.

Here are some pictures from this week.

I think this a very picturesque shot from the game last night. But behind the scenes it was not so peaceful. The Dodgers got skunked again, and when they were down 16-2 the other coaches still insisted on running the ball and crying at every questionable call by the ump. Bryce went ballistic on the Angels' head coach, much to the delight of the Dodgers fans. I still can't believe that my shy, non-confrontational husband has no problem with swaggering bravado when it comes to sporting events.This is Cameron's "smile."

The vase I mentioned in my last post. It is black laquer over solid brass, etched in a peacock pattern. It is an antique from India.


Harrison likes to hold babies on his lap, and apparently likes to hold big sisters, too.


"In a Pickle". Mary has wound the baby swing around the branch so many times she can't get out without help.


Tyce and friends built a newspaper-and-tape roller coaster in GATE class. It is basically a marble run. Check out the little boys' faces.

At the end of the roller coaster. Notice Tyce's sharp dress--he still has the Alex P. Keaton look going on.


Harrison riding the trike in the house, dribbling juice.


Cameron lounging on the couch. He threw up a couple of times the night I was supposed to go to book club. Luckily it was a short virus or whatever because he was better by morning.

P.S. I have a formatting issue, as in, I do not know how to format these posts sometimes. Sorry for the periods between paragraphs but for some reason it (the computer) will not recognize my returns.

I'm surprised it looks like we have anything going on--esp. lately. I even took pictures at the park this week to prove we go out of the house once in a while! Thanks for your comments. You make me feel like I'm not writing to just to hear myself talk (if I were reading out loud, that is. . . that made no sense).
