November 29
There was no school today, so we went to the zoo. Lexi and this mongoose (which Ellie named Cindy, unless this is the one she named Sinny) were having quite a wordless conversation.

Day 332: Ornaments
November 28
A last-minute, late-night, batteries-are-pretty-much-dead shot that actually turned out pretty well.
Day 331: Decorating the Tree
November 27
Don't you love how she's decorating the Christmas tree in a summer dress? My kids are weird, but I love them.
Day 330: Macy's Holiday Parade
November 26
Me and my cute snowflake.
We got to walk in the parade with Vicki's Girl Scout troop. It was a ton of fun - we will definitely be doing it again!

Day 329: Turkey Bowl
November 25
It's a tradition in our family to go bowling every Thanksgiving. We have a blast every year, although every year Chris and I are reminded of just how horrible we are at bowling. This year Vicki almost beat us both. And Ellie got the first strike. And Lexi earned the 1st piece of post-bowling pumpkin pie, lucky girl.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 324: Lexi and the Little People
November 20
Here we have Lexi's rendition of "Do You Hear What I Hear?", performed by her and her band of Little People. This is the Shepherd Boy (in her hand) talking to the Mighty King (in his castle warm).
Day 318: Mr. Moon
November 14
This is another "Oh, no, I haven't taken any pictures yet!" picture. Hence the blurry moon-out-the-window-at-almost-midnight shot. But I didn't forget!

Day 317: Piano Hands
November 13
Vicki had a "showcase" (pretty much a very relaxed and casual mini-recital) at her piano teacher's house this morning. She played two songs, and played them well.
Day 316: Little Bug in the Blinds
November 12
Oh, little ugly bug, what are you doing in my window blinds? You do realize, don't you, that when I open them you will be smushed? But I can't reach you to get you out. What a sad existence.
Day 315: You Have Got to Be Kidding Me
November 11
Seriously? There are people who want Tweets from their dog? Like, Tweets that are made up and randomly selected by a computer? Because dogs can't actually communicate in words, you know. And then, as if it's not absurd to just make up, people actually pay over $20 for something like this?
I'm blown away.
Day 314: CeramiCafe
November 10
We took the Girl Scouts on a field trip to CeramiCafe. It was awesome. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Day 313: Cleaner Than the Real Thing
November 9
These little guys are taking over my house. I can't complain too much, though, since they don't poop or smell funny and they won't die if they get stuck behind the refrigerator.
Day 310: Bop It
November 6
Vicki got this game from Grandma E. for her birthday. She doesn't think Dad can play it as well as her, although she likes the fact that he bops it with his forehead.
Day 309: Church
November 5
This church is across the street from the girls' dance studio. The bells in the tower chime every hour. I love it.
Day 308: Another Spider
November 4
This one is right outside my house. The girls are convinced he's trying to catch them.

Day 305: Gourmet Food
November 1
Ellie chose what we had for lunch today. Tuna salad on crackers. Topped with fishies. Yum.
Day 304: Happy Halloween!
October 31
Not to brag (okay, totally to brag), but I made these costumes myself.
Day 300: Dream Come True
October 27
Oh, how I wish all this chocolate were mine. Alas, it's for the church Halloween party. Such a waste. My hips are thankful, though.
Day 299: Driving with Ernie
October 27
He's a fun guy to drive around with. Bert looks a little concerned, although it may just be the unibrow.
Day 297: My Car Has a VCR
October 24
And now my children think they should be allowed to watch movies in the driveway.
Day 296: Car Shopping
October 23
It was an adventure. With all three girls along, it was a really big adventure. But now we rock the Swagger Wagon! Yay us!
Day 294: Infestation
October 21
Every year these guys take over my tree. The problem seems to clear itself up at the beginning of November, though, so I don't worry too much.
Day 293: I Have Daughters
October 20
And they have shoes. And their shoes are all over my living room.
Day 292: Poisonberries
October 19
They may not actually be poisonous (but probably they are), but that's what the kids at the girls' school call them. I just think the tree is pretty, and the blue sky is too rare to not document.
Day 291: Food Critic
October 18
Dad's chocolate cheesecake (with strawberry sauce) gets a thumbs-up in our house.
Day 289: Crashed
October 16
We had a game night with friends at our house and confined the girls to the upstairs. We let them watch movies in our bedroom, and this is how we found them when our friends had gone home.
