round and rounds
This picture was actually from July, in Door County. We stopped at a cherry orchard. They had these nifty little tractors you could pedal around a little track. It was amusing, but also makes for a strange picture. And makes me think of Sysiphus.
Miranda will bring flowers to class tomorrow, as her assignment. Montessori at work. She is supposed to learn flower arranging. Each month we are assigned one day to bring the treat or project.
She had a good weekend. We ventured into Chuck E Cheese for dinner Friday. What was amazing was how it got busier the later we stayed. As in 5:30, not so busy. 7 pm, it was hopping. Why does Chuck E Cheese need to be open until 11 on weekends?
Miranda also successfully stayed in her bed the whole night. We had a relapse of the family bed for a few weeks. Last night we decided to outlast the screaming, crying and whining. It worked.
We are working on Halloween costumes around here. I'll post pictures of progress soon. We have a sea theme. Miranda has a mermaid costume, purchased from Gymboree. Picture. Rob is a shark or dolphin or sting ray. Henry is a rainbow fish. And I am seaweed. Or the sea. I'll be aquamarine and have fish painted all over.
It all started when she insisted on getting the mermaid purse from Gymboree with birthday money. And so I pushed for a theme. Rob gets some nifty long underwear for running. I get pajamas. Henry recycles a body suit.
Rob is off to the Packer game tomorrow. Did you know he broke 10000 on the waiting list? Only 9000 more tickets (or so) have to be given up for his option to buy tickets to come up.
