For those who are interested in such things…here is our new table. We had a dinner party for 14 last night and we all fit nicely around the table…so this is great news!! It is weird, it does not look that big in the picture…but it is 122″long (11feet).

Finally!!!

Hi–well, I finally went out and got the new table for the kitchen. I know–2 1/2 years late. But I have commitment issues (to say the least). So we have the 122″ table I picked out a long time ago and 2 chairs…we have to wait for the remaining 12 chairs until first week of Dec. So right now we have the ghetto chairs still there–but not for long ; )

Rememberance Day

Thank-you to all our brave veterans who fought for us (and still do!). Thank-you Grandpa!!

Quiet day at the Roberts…Jackie has soccer later this afternoon (indoor–WAHOOO!). Rachael is at her friend’s house and will go straight from there to gym. BK is enjoying her work and school free day : ) ‘cuz that just does not happen often….

I may go out and check on the mushroom crop in the yard–sigh–but other than that, I still have to do the work I was meant to do yesterday and we still have to get that pool cover done–ACKK

’till tomorrow…

Tuesday–day off

What a great way to start a Tuesday…sleeping in!

No school today, but Jackie is going to work at the food bank this afternoon as part of a service project with her girl scout troop. No soccer practice tonight as practice has been changed to ONE indoor practice on Wednesday at 3pm–so WAHOO! for that…

Rachael has gym tonight at 4pm and will be going home with a friend after…

Brooklyn does not work today–so I am sure she will do some homework and finish up the “APP” (as we are affectionately calling it these days).

We need to close the pool cover today–no exceptions. It took us many hours to clean all the leaves out on Sunday and I was a might cranky by the end of it. Not to mention sore on Monday.

That is it really—got to do a bit of actual work today–some paperwork stuff that is hard to get done when all I really want to do it work with my ELL kids…

Rachael did knit a slipper after she went to slipper knitting school with my Aunt Joan when she was here a couple weeks ago…She got it sewed up the other day and it is like a “mini slipper”. It might fit Jackie…but it WAS good practice and she will make the next one bigger i am thinking. The girls have taken up earring making also…I will try to remember how to put pictures on my blog and then you can see…
