well it was so hot and now it's frigid. i just bought a pressure cooker and am having a fantastic time making soups and stews.
we went to austin for halloween, em wanted to be a sheep like her favorite animal, baa. i found a pattern on etsy and had the shop seamstress make it for her. i never tried it on her until we were at the party. unfortunately it was a bit of a hybrid between sheep, flying nun and white supremacist. and the elastic was too thick so it kept pulling down over her eyes.
still they had fun. it turns out that our aloof, reserved child is motivated wildly by candy. she even outlasted her cousin in trick or treating.
at olive and june's, making a series of faces. maybe this one was "mad".
we went to a jr league event with friends to make this gingerbread house. em was only focused on eating candy. another mom-powered project. another white american holiday i have never really had a clue about.
her drawings are starting to look more realistic, here is a cat with a "band aid" on its head. look at how many teeth it has!
her new trick while she's going #2.
house is wrapped, windows are in, even have a front door! the stone we ordered has come in, but the installation has taken some thinking. jse has had to trouble shoot substantially at every step, the stone is no exception. hoping to have an exterior by the end of the week!
