WEEK 4

 Tuesday, 1/18, this is my stylist, Sarah.  She has been doing my hair for several years, and she always does a nice job.  I toyed with taking the picture during the process, but this IS a family-friendly site!

 Wednesday, 1/19.  I signed C out of school for lunch, since I had been working the past 4 evenings, and hadn't seen her much.  We had a nice lunch at Panera, and even had time for a stop at Barnes and Noble before she went back to school, and I went to work.  (D gets home from school before I leave, so I do see more of him when I work.)

 Thursday, 1/20.  I found a website where you can create your own "Keep Calm" sign.  I created this one, printed it out, and hung it in the kitchen.  It is a joke, so go ahead and laugh, but it's life-saving advice on a REALLY BAD DAY!  ( we all have our own version of calm, don't we?)

 Friday, 1/21.  Tonight Joe and I watched the last episode of one of our favorite series.  A great show, but it had run its course.

 Saturday, 1/22.  We attended a pot-luck baby shower for a Chinese couple this afternoon.   It was hosted by a Japanese couple, and the food was absolutely fabulous.  We were sent home with several delectable items, but these little desserts were the only things that survived long enough to have a photo taken.  They were made from a sweet red bean curd paste, and rolled in coconut powder.  Delicious!

 Sunday, 1/23.  C and her friend asked me to take them to the mall for a shopping trip.  I think they had a lot of fun, and their big purchase was 2 oversized rings for $8.00.  These 2 are bargain hunters!  On the way home, they finally let me take their picture at the Syracuse/Orange Crush display at Wegman's.  Yes, on a daily basis I shop at the store Alec Baldwin made nationally famous  on the David Letterman show.  Probably not as good as Trader Joe's, but still a pretty darn good place to get your groceries!

Monday, 1/24.  Today was a good news/bad news sort of day.  D brought home a good report card, and these school photos.  Can you believe this boy?  You'd think he'd have learned by year 6 in this school!  His dad immediately took him for a haircut, and I scheduled the re-takes, but I had to record it for posterity.  BTW, I am all for self-expression, but the group that decides the school dress and appearance codes is not!

Week 2,3

Here is the second week of pictures, plus a little of the third.  I hope you enjoy them!

Some people have asked how to leave comments.  First, you have to become a "follower"  of my blog.  You do that by clicking on the "Become a Follower" tab on the right column of this blog.  You then follow the prompts to create a Google account if you haven't already.  When you leave a comment, it will not appear immediately in the comment section.  It will still say that there are 0 comments.  This is because I have elected to moderate the comments on this blog.  This is a family friendly site, and my kids have full access to this blog, so I want to have some control over what is posted.  That is the main reason I have created this blog instead of just posting all of the photos on Facebook.  

I would also ask you not to use the kids' names when you comment.  C and D will give us all enough information to know who you are talking about.  If you do so, just because you forgot, your comment will probably not be posted, but I will still get to read it.  I do not think I can edit your comments.  Also, if you do not want to become a follower, you can always e-mail me your comments!

Sunday, 1/9  Copper is getting one of his favorite treats for going into his kennel--it's dried Doggie Jerky.  A common sight, around here, since it happens at least once a day!  

 Monday, 1/10 In the back seat on the way home from school on Monday (forgot to take a photo on Sunday!)  Stopped for a little treat, and found out he already had the candy cane in his backpack!

 Later on Monday.  A little too much bickering at dinner resulted in an extra chore aimed at learning to work together!

 Tuesday, 1/11 Tuesdays and Thursdays are "eggs and toast" mornings.  For those who wonder, I still do not eat eggs, but I will cook them for the kids.  Apparently this "Wright" anomaly has been sufficiently diluted, and ends with me!

 Wednesday, 1/12  Picture Day at school.  Handsome!

 Thursday, 1/13  A Pummelo.  He saw it at the grocery store, and just had to try it.  She is my foodie, and wanted a picture with it.  The verdict?  For the price, grapefruit is better.

Friday, 1/14  Her latest interest.  Manga.  Can I just say that I don't encourage it, but feel it will be around longer if I voice my opposition?  I do screen them first.

 Saturday, 1/15 Basketball game against her good friend's team.  Blue won, and she scored against her friend, but it is all in good fun!

 Sunday, 1/16  Copper is staring down a dog treat.  Technically, this is not a dog toy, but we kept a close watch on him as he tried to figure out how to get the treat out of this Oddball.  Very amusing!

Monday, 1/17  Late Christmas gifts from Joe's "Uncle" Jimmy.  I'll just let the photo of him modeling the gifts speak for itself!

Week 1

 Well, here we are at the beginning of another year!  I am challenging myself to document it using Becky Higgins" Project Life.  This is the place where I share my photos with you!  I will most likely update it weekly on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Hope you enjoy your visits!

Thursday:  How would you like to run into this guy in a dark alley?  This is what I found when I went up to kiss him Goodnight.  He is extremely fond of that Nerf gun collection! 1/6/11

Friday:  We baked this almond cake last night.  She decorated it herself, and we enjoyed it for dessert tonight.  To die for!  1/7/11
