Ten pictures on the 10th:

10am: Airbending–Norah’s current pastime

11am: First school day wearing her glasses. Turns out Norah is far-sighted! That explains why she has no difficulty reading billboards but all sorts of trouble reading books. “Mom, the words are all blurry and my eyes are so tired.” Doh.

12pm: Boo-boo. It’s incredible how much blood results when a 3 yr old tries to sharpen her finger in a pencil sharperner.

1pm: Lunch

2pm: Strawberries, strawberries everywhere!

3pm: Bird study

4pm: Calling in the creepy door-to-door guys claiming to be ADT. I took pictures of the three guys, too. I wouldn’t let them walk up my driveway.

5pm: Waiting for her Daddy/Daughter Date

6pm: Story of my life. Also, I need to dust.

7pm: Norah and her friend, Veda, at the musical production, “Oliver.” Last show is tonight…GO SEE IT!

10:30am: meal-planning

11:30am: my man belting out The Eagles

12:30: the girls picking daffodils for the lunch table

1:30: my mom’s lunch menu for my birthday. I love lasagna but no one else does so it was a large spread!

2:30pm: happy birthday to me!

3:30pm: at the car wash

4:30pm: admiring my birthday present from my parents.

5:30pm: grocery-getting

Posted on February 11, 2013 by juliebyers

8:30am–I wake to this little imp in my bed

9:30am–Strawberry pancakes made by my delicious husband

10:30–Re-reading The Ragamuffin Gospel

11:30–Norah’s Valentine’s for Artios. It’s gonna take awhile for all that glitter glue to dry.

12:30pm–Lunch for me: my yummy maca smoothie with added blueberries

1:30pm–Rushing to the my Hypnobabies class reunion

2:30pm–Sharing birth stories

3:30pm–Shiny, happy Hypnobabies graduates

4:30pm–I was too busy scooting across town to get to a Hypnobabies class to snap a pic. But my husband texted this picture. He kayaked to an island at Jocassee. He even swam! In February! So, I’ll steal his picture.

5:30pm–Dr. Polo Shirt’s waiting room before I tore it apart to make room for my class. I always take a “before picture” so I know how to set up when class dismisses.

Uncommon Thanks #2

Posted on November 11, 2012 by juliebyers

I forgot to post 10 on 10 yesterday so I’ll use yesterday’s events as my thanks:

1) Strawberry cream cheese scones and sitting outside on a November morning.

2) Time with friends who enrich the lives of my children.

3) Climbing mulberry trees

4) Learning woodworking skills at Roper Mountain Science Center (also felting wool, making herb sachets, herding sheep, plowing fields, pumping water, grinding corn, feeding animals, watching blacksmiths and other artisans)
