With our big trip to Philly last week I did not include any of the girls' Halloween photos. They went trick or treating with a cute little skunk and dinosaur one night, and the next their daddy took them to the Halloween parade in town. There they collected more candy than seems legal, but I've since shared it with my college students who do not turn down free food, even when it is barely food.
In the last few weeks I have redecorated our family room. We spend so much time there in the winter that I wanted it to be cozy and pretty. This also allowed me to bond with my sewing machine and work on my math skills. Then, when those failed me, I ended up relying on my patience and work-around abilities too.
I love to see the girls reading. Pearl has recently discovered the joy of comic books, but she prefers fairies and princess themes to the typical superhero variety.
And here Sapphire pours over her Cubbie book. On Sunday afternoons she eagerly slips into her cubbie vest and pines for the hour when we can leave for Awana. For the two little girls, Awana means puppet shows, verse memorization, games, toy time, and table work--preschool-type activities.
This week I woke Ruby early one morning for her ear tube surgery. They popped those tiny tubes through her eardrums in five minutes, but she fussed over the effects of the anesthesia for about half an hour. We hope this will drain her ears, which always seem to show water, though not infection, thankfully.
