That's Extraordinary

I was complimenting Mikaya on her school work and said, "That's extraordinary, Mikaya!" She asked, "What does extraordinary mean?" I said that it meant amazing. She said plainly, "Then you can just say amazing." She's so practical.......

Halloween

A cowgirl, a vampire, Sacagawea, a life guard, and Duck Dynasty.....

Hanging out Around the House

Mikaya's Field Trip

Curis was so nice to watch Miles, while I went with Mikaya to a science museum for her field trip. It was so fun to watch Mikaya raise her hand, like Hermione from Harry Potter, and answer questions in the weather class. Her favorite exhibit was an air movement one. They were able to experiment with paper and whether it moved up the air shaft faster if it was crumpled, if it was flat, or if it had items attached to it.

Swimming in October

Miles fell asleep after he went swimming.

Family Halloween Movie Dress-up Night

We pulled out all the Halloween dress-ups and watch "Nightmare before Christmas". Mikaya took a picture of the table topper that Grandma Montelius made.

Decorating for a Baby Shower

I threw a baby shower for one of my friends. I saved time on decorations, by using a beautiful bouquet of flowers that my friend Sooyoung made for Avery's baptism, and adding a few colors to match the rest of the decorations.

Miles' room (AKA Coral's part-time room)

I love decorating nurseries, because I love having a short period of time when I can organize AND have the chance to keep a room almost perfectly clutter-free; even if it's only for a couple of years. Later on, I try to organize, but it doesn't stay for very long before "stuff" creeps in and takes over a bit).

Around the house

I told Curtis that I thought that a bench would be great in the back yard, and he built one!! It's awesome. I will make a cushion for it sometime soon.
