A self appointed "pick your own topic day". I'm sure that between now and November 30th there will be many more "pick your own". Afterall, I occassionally have my own idea for a post.
Clark continues to rake the leaves (and they continue to fall) and adds them to our gi-normous pile out in the woods behind our house. We are providing a cozy little home for some vermin this winter...or a homeless person...whoever finds it first. This is Hazel looking longingly at the pile that I wouldn't let her play in because 1)we still have ticks here in Virginia and 2)we found a snake (named "Frankie" by the girls) in a pile earlier this week.
And then Hazel hugged a tree.
Good news!! Much to Abby's fear pleasure, BB has been re-born. I found her in my fabric bin the other day and Mia took a liking to her. She has been dressing her up daily and carrying her around. The girl needs to get out more.
Haley has a blossoming love of all things fashion...some days I just have to bite my tongue, smile, and appreciate her sense of style. I love her.
We have a little wood hutch next to the fireplace...
The girls call it "The Hut" and get sent there regularly when they are playing school and Haley is the teacher (what in the world is happening at that school of theirs, is what I want to know.) But "The Hut" is typically full of pillows and blankets...not a bad place to curl up and read a book, I say.
Clark, who had Veterans Day off, and I met the girls at school for their Thanksgiving feast. I was impressed with their school's fresh assortment (despite the brown stuff on the tray) and actually ate it. This is me looking like 'an emotion I can't quite place', but I was trying to "go back to elementary school" with it. Clark lost his lunch ticket while waiting in line. I thought that was funny. He swears that no one beat him up for it, but I doubted him. He was disappointed at the lack of chocolate milk.
Haley and Abby have overlapping lunches so we got to eat with both of them (though only consumed lunch once.) Abby however, decided that she wanted to sit with her friends anyway so she sat at the table next to us and visited so enthusiastically, it's a wonder she ever eats lunch at all.
And that my friends, is all.

I am impressed with the attempt at containing those leaves and with your eating a school lunch. I happen to know you had a lot of peanut butter and plum jam sandwiches in your little brown bag as a girl. The thought of that kind of turkey makes me squirm a little. Kuddos.
The Hazel tree hugging picture...I heart it. I also heart your hut. And your cute fam.
But I am distracted bc afterward I watched the HILARIOUS video down below and now I must share it with everyone I know. That was crazy funny genius. (I want to know the real story...although I have a vague idea.)
Cute stuff. Who is the child hanging from the brick above the fireplace and why is she hanging there? I am afraid I was distracted by the rather large man behind you in the lunch photo. What were you saying about school lunches?
wow...every day, huh? fun new blog layout....too bad about the snakes in hte leaves, that does look like fun to play in...
I've got it! BB needs a pair of earrings. And maybe a wig? I think that will make her infinitely less creepy.
Infinitely? Well, a lot less creepy anyway.
You ate a school lunch. You're good folk.
