Why?

After a series of random why questions...

Dave: I don't have an answer for everything, kiddo.
Sophie: Okay, how about this one? Why do peas grow?

School Fundraiser

If anyone is interested, the girls' school is having its Fall Fundraiser. Anyone interested in ordering anything from Genevieve's to support the girls' school can do so via this link:
https://www.genevieves.com/sne/referral.php?student_id=418065
They have wrapping paper, candy, candles, and a variety of other products. Order deadline is October 5th for the paper orders we need to return to school. I'm not sure if the online orders are the same.

A Signed Edition


For Her Teacher (done with no help)
Posted by Picasa

A Mom's back to school recipe

Take 2 Pair of Rustler Boys 4 slim relaxed fit jeans from Wallyworld.
Wash in hot water, regular cycle. Dry in a hot dryer.
Apply to tall and skinny girls for a perfect fit in the waist!




A little baggy, but far and away better than anything else.
If anyone finds Rustler Boys 4 slim in a slimmer fit, please let us know.

Nana and Poppa's Zoo

Why is it that all the photos of our outings seem to have the kids eating? A warning to take out a second mortgage for the teenage years?

Some photos from a trip to the National Zoo. It was a hot day, as you can tell from the otter pile.

Just your typical toddler lunch

Perhaps for Sophie anyways. Hannah had a little sushi, then wanted to take a trip through the hot food line at Minado's.


As you can see, there was really nothing she wanted.


Oh wait, I mean she wanted everything. And tasted it all. And ate most of that.


Sophie stayed with the more traditional lunch. But she still did fine once she learned there was an ice cream machine for dessert.
