It was a really close game.
*If I say it's a word, that makes it one, right?

Day 267: Very Hungry
September 24
The basement walls of the girls' school are covered in colorful murals, all relating to books. This is one of the least impressive sections, but the lights were out in the cafeteria, so I couldn't take a picture in there. Maybe some other day...

Day 265: Wheeeee!!!
September 22
We went to a birthday party today at a place called J.J. Jump. It's a big room full of bounce houses and inflatable slides. Crazy busy fun. And a great big crash at bedtime.
Day 264: Hoberman Sphere
September 21
As discovered in the office of the elementary school guidance counselor while visiting her guidance counselor dog, Maggie.
Day 263: The Machine
September 20
Vicki is building the "Voice-o-Meter 3000" for a school project. It will be truly awesome.
Day 262: Miracle of Miracles
September 19
My daughters spent over an hour this afternoon setting up and playing with a Little People village. Together. Why it had to be in my bedroom I'll never know, but I'm not being picky. They were getting along, and it was glorious.
Day 261: Blowin' Bubbles
September 18
Grandpa E. showed up tonight to surprise us with dinner at Red Robin. He had a few other reasons for being here, but who can pass up a night out with three beautiful girls (and their parents)?

Day 259: Oops Again
September 16
This is me, crying because I forgot to take a picture today. Again. Oh, well. 257 out of 259 isn't too bad, is it?
Also, I think I need to figure out how to make my hair look like that for real.
Day 256: Pride
September 13
I'm not sure why, but I feel like there should be an American flag behind her.

Day 254: We Have a Lot of Pears
September 11
50 half-pint jars of pear butter, 7 quarts of pear halves. And just over one box of pears left. Last year we got one box and it wasn't enough. This year we got three. Next year, it will be two. Canning is hard work.
Day 253: Today's Book of Knowledge
September 10
It tells me how to deal with the 3 giant boxes of pears threatening to turn to mush in my kitchen.

Day 248: Swinging with the Grandmas
September 5
One grandma is fun. Two grandmas is fun times infinity (and beyond!)
Day 247: Art in the Pearl
September 4
Art in the Pearl is an annual arts festival here in Portland every Labor Day weekend. We've gone almost every year. Most of the booths are just really cool art for sale, but there are a few booths that have hands-on activities for kids. Not only did the girls get to try their hands at weaving here, but they brought home little kits for making bracelets by braiding together 7 strands of thread. Even Ellie mastered it. So cool.
Day 246: Where it All Begins
September 3
After living in Portland for over 5 years, we finally hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls. Breathtaking. This is the tiny little falls right before the start of the big one. I couldn't get the entire falls in one frame, but if you ever visit Portland, it's a must.
