Hello Mr. Opossum

Day 243~"Dinged Door"

 
Tonight, Amanda, Clint and I went to HEB to buy a few things and Amanda accidentally tapped a Navigator in the parking lot. She got out and tried to claim that Amanda had put a ding in her car. I took a picture to prove that there was NO way that our car could have made the scratch in her door from us opening up our door. She gave it up after I told her to call the cops and let them decide what to do! :)

Raspberries anyone?

Jenna. Aug 28. What's this?

We went to the Producers' Co-Op today. Kennedy picked up this contraption, mainly because it was pink, decided she wanted to wear it, and then said, "Mommy, what is this?" I told her to hold on a sec because I wanted to take her picture first.

Then I explained that it’s a horse harness. For a horse with a head as big as our tiny Kennedy.

Jenna. Aug 27. Future Teacher.

I hope her other students are more responsive than this one.

Jenna. Aug 26. Sweet Siblings.

Carlee has had quite a time adjusting to our new schedule since the school year started this week. I never really noticed how attached she is to her "Bubba" until he went away for Kindergarten. These pics represent a very common occurrence during lunch/after we pick him up from school.

I always wanted an older brother. I'm so glad my girls have one.

Jenna. Aug 25. GPOYW.

Kevin and I had a date tonight. He took this of me when we were eating at Square One.

Jenna. Aug 24. Pretty Kennedy.

Kennedy wanted to wear some of my make-up this morning. I think here she has a little powder and some lip gloss, maybe some eye shadow that also doubled as blush.

She does her own make-up. At least for now.

Jenna. Aug 23. First Day.

Colby's first day of Kindergarten.

Jenna. Aug 22. Seafaring Oranges.

I'm sure they meant Navel.

Day 242~"Headed To The Valley"

 
Today, Cliff, Clint and I are headed to Harlingen to meet up with Amanda and work for a couple of days on a crew at Raintree Apartments.

Jenna. Aug 21. Gulf Sunset.

View from Crystal Beach, Texas.

[I never can take just one sunset picture, especially on the beach.]

Jenna. Aug 20. My birthday!

So, this is a pic Kevin took from his NEW iPhone4. I got to blow out a pillar candle. [rather, my beautiful children helped me blow it out] :) Then we had homemade ice cream and brownies for my birthday treat. YUM.

Jenna. Aug 19. Foot Reveal.

And behind Bandage #1, we have.... the new left foot! Complete with not one, but TWO sets of stitches! [Don't worry, the yellow is from iodine, used to prevent infection. I'll clean it with rubbing alcohol and it will come right off.]

I kept trying to take a picture of the moon, but it didn't want to come out from behind the clouds.

Day 237~"Big Boots"

 
These boots are in front of North Star Mall and I snapped a picture of it when Cliff and I traded vehicles with my French kids so that Amanda could have her work van back.

Day 236~"The Moon!"

 
I took this picture of the moon in Bandera, Texas shining over the river. It was the picture for today.

232~"My Snake Friend"

 

I have taken photos of this snake before on my previous walks and someone found it, killed it and laid it out on the sidewalk. I am not fond of snakes, but this was kind of sad to me. :(

Jenna. Aug 18. Who says nothing is free?

4 packs of gum.
