Day 309/365 - November 5

Lately, Princess has not been wanting to stay in Avery's room at bedtime.

Avery wants to have someone in there with her.period.

So, she's reverted back to the dogs.

I walk in tonight and find this.

Dosie laying asleep ON the pillow next to Avery.

It was absolutely precious. Until I snapped the picture and she jumped up and started wagging her tail and hopping all over the bed.

Day 308/365 - November 4

Volleyball is just about to wrap up. Tonight was Avery's last game of the regular season.

Their team, The Knights, finished second overall in the league. Not too shabby for a team with 10 girls that have never played before! Their tournament is this coming Saturday.

It's amazing how much she has improved and how far she has come in just two months!

I really think she has enjoyed it too.

Day 307/365 - November 3

Look what I found on the coffee table tonight.

Seriously? It's the beginning of November!

Way too early for an elf to arrive!

Good thing Santa knows all and quickly jumped in.

Day 306/365 - November 2

Wes and Avery finished the ecosystem over the weekend. Avery even finished writing her paper after a lot of research on saltwater systems.

Here's the finished product.

Take a look at all the detailed work. Avery made all of the colorful fish, lobster, clam, and starfish from modeling clay.

 

  

  

  

We took it to school this morning. One more project down. I've lost count of how many more to go. Either that, or I'm just in denial.

Day 305/365 - November 1

Cake pops, attempt #2...successful.

Lesson learned from first attempt: do not leave them anywhere near the edge of the counter.

They were all packed up and sent to school today.

Avery said the kids loved them.

They are also expecting great things for the next holiday too. Really? Nine and ten year olds? It starts early!

Day 304/365 - October 31

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We had a great time together this afternoon/evening. Wes, Avery, and I all went trick or treating together around the neighborhood.

While playing with the neighbor from across the street this afternoon, Avery asked if she wanted to come trick or treating with use. She said she would check and see if she could.

We stopped by before leaving and after waiting a few minutes, Portia joined us.

I know Avery's eyes are closed, but it's the only pic of the two girls together.

Day 303/365 - October 30

Avery and I had lots of errands and running around to do today.

While we were out, I stopped by Bruster's for a quick cup of ice cream for my sweet girl. This is where we always stopped for ice cream on the way home from St. James last year.

While it is still close to our house, we just don't go in that direction very often. It was definitely a treat for Avery!
