Belle of the Ball

Abz decided that she wanted to be Belle for Halloween, but only if she could make the costume herself. She designed and sewed every detail down to the gloves- without a pattern! She watched a 5 minute YouTube video and she was all set.

I am astounded. The bodice has BONING? How does she do it?!

Mountain Man

Jaws invented a game where he has to conquer 6 rock climbing challenges. Best part is that he doesn't even have to leave our yard to demonstrate his mountain climbing prowess









Not Giving Up

I can't believe it- but my little potted garden is still inching along.

I'm still pulling a bowl or two of tomatoes and a handful of green beans off my plants a week...

I spotted some new blossoms!
And my old dead plants have brand new shoots!

And the seeds that Jaws and I planted in late August are substantial plants!

Watch Out- Here He Comes!

This kid is taller every time I look at him. I thought I better document the last few moments where Abz and I still beat him out for height. Our time is waning...

Conference Weekend Projects

We like to get it done! Especially when it comes to conference. Sometimes a good project helps you keep your butt in the chair and your eyes (and hopefully your ears) open.

Here is a sampling of our work.

Tadpoles's sketches...

Tadpole and Little Chief in their model building studio...
A Saturday afternoon snack...
A Halloween costume sewing project for Superkid and Abizella

Superkid's completed Mist Born cloak...

Hair braiding for me- and swapping everyone's summer wardrobes for winter wear


Somehow I didn't document the sweet rolls and Bertucci's pizza. But it wouldn't be conference without them!

Season Closer

I'm always hoping for an extended bike season- but just in case, I took my favorite ride this morning. It is simply spectacular. It passes through a state park (Wompatuck), a cranberry bog, charming neighborhoods, an estuary, 2 light houses and miles and miles of rocky and sandy shoreline. The whole bike ride is 35 miles and I only go through 2 traffic lights. It absolutely cannot be beat. This route will forever be my happy place.
