Day 243 – August 31, 2010 :: Command Central

Saying goodbye to August. This is command central for keeping our schedules organized – calendar for everyone’s appointments and events, bulletin board for the school lunch menu and ongoing school assignments and such, and Matthew’s karate school schedule taped to the cabinet. The schedule is still up there from last spring in the hope that he'll be able to start up again at some point, although he’s got so much homework right now that I don’t know how we’ll manage if/when that happens.

Day 242 – August 30, 2010 :: Thinking Chair

Kaylee doing her spelling homework. After sorting her assigned list into pattern categories, she had to come up with her own additional words that matched the patterns.

Day 241 – August 29, 2010 :: Product Prep

Shot of my desk in work mode. I spent a lot of the day putting together an ad for the ScrapDish storewide sale, and organizing files and creating new previews and detail shots for a couple of former collab products I decided to rerelease. I haven’t had the bug to design anything new in ages; I seem to only be able to think in scrap mode these days.

Day 240 – August 28, 2010 :: Say Cheese, Mommy!

Kaylee took a picture of me with this little toy “camera”.

I knew I’d been feeling older lately…

Day 239 – August 27, 2010 :: Scenic Morning Stroll

After taking a summer hiatus from walking, I’ve started taking a leisurely stroll after Matthew gets on his bus.  This again is the pond at the park. Very peaceful and pretty in the morning light.

I hadn’t noticed this carving in the concrete under the little footbridge before. Makes me wonder who TJT is/are, and what they’re doing now, 35 years later. :)

Day 238 – August 26, 2010 :: Kickin’ ‘Em Off and Kickin’ Back

Relaxing right after school... Kaylee’s shoes… and her legs over by my shoes. :)

Day 237 – August 25, 2010 :: Coy Kaylee

This is the sweet version of Kaylee’s “Mom, go away” face. I was trying to get some pictures of Matthew and Kaylee working together at the kitchen table, but every time I came over, she stopped and picked up her paper to hide it from me. She was working on a drawing and wanted it to be a surprise. :)
