Day 4

Day 4, Carus - "Please mom, help me get a 7days picture today. I want to take my picture with my Yoda pug but if I get up he'll move."

Maybe I shouldn't have helped, Yoda looks a little worried...


Day 4, Becca - Leia is now about 4-1/2 months old. She can now sit, stay (most of the time), and recently shake.  She likes to shake.

Day 3

Carus's day 3 - Getting ready for bed.

 

261/365 - Day 3 - Makin dinner while Robert fixes the plumbing on the sink.
 

Cooking dinner (Ramen Stir-Fry) with no working sink. The plumbing for the sink was always bad but after it clogged yet again we decided it needed to be fixed sooner rather than later, and now I don't have a sink or dishwasher. The sink is hooked up again - but not the garbage disposal or the dishwasher (when trying to hook the dishwasher back up again Robert found that the hose hooked to it was actually a car hose) and I had to dishes by hand. Today has been a blah day, not really bad, but not good. Carus and I were dragging through work/school all day.

Race for the Cure 2011

Okay, making this short and sweet because I've been up since 5 am, didn't sleep well last night, and procrastinated all day on getting this up, but HA! I got it up today! I said HA! And soon I will be going to bed.

Slideshow of our walk is just below.

 Carus and I met up with some friends (Woo! Jessica, Gwen, Lisa, and Sarah) and Gramma Barbara and road the Max train downtown, then met up with a couple of my coworkers (shout out to Trish and Millie!) and participated in the 5K walk. I think I heard something about there were 500,000 participants down at Portland's waterfront today.  Or maybe that was just the walk...that seems small for the whole thing. So don't quote me, I don't know what I'm talking about.

We got separated from Jessica and Gwen and we kinda meandered really slowly this year and ended up at the very end of the walkers. Oh well, no rushing necessary! It's not too late to donate if you still want to - Donate here and pass on this link: http://tinyurl.com/3jjmnlx


 

 As for today's 7 Days photos. Carus and I are cheater mic-cheaters and didn't take our own photos. I took hers and a friend took mine...

 Today was also a theme day with the theme "Inside" but we did the opposite with "Outside." We were Outside for the Walk. Carus's 7Days, day 2. We asked if she could take a photo with the police officer on his bike and he said sure. Then he asked if she wanted to climb onto the bike, but of course!

Chalk Art Festival

Today was the start of the fall run of fall run of 7 Days AND the Forest Grove Chalk Art Festival, which we went to of course.  It's put on by the local art gallery, Valley Art. It would have been nice if the weather was a bit better.  Fall has arrived and while the temps are welcome (at least to me), the rain today could have stayed away.  It was only sprinkling so the art didn't wash away, but it probably won't be there too long.  Some friends drew with us, we made a little garden.

My 7Days, day 1 photo.
259/365 - Drawing.  I drew the tree and the blue flower.


Carus's 7 Days, day 1 photo.  This is an abstract sun, which she got the idea for from an art lesson this week in school.


Our finished square.


There were some amazing artists there, I didn't get photos of all of them, but you should see the ones I did get.  I've put them on Flickr.

Slideshow of all the photos from today:

YAY! It's Friday

255/365 - Wilbur kitty.


256/365 - Late night clean-up. I went to camera club and came home to iced tea all over the counter.  I had started the iced tea maker before leaving but must not have pushed the pitcher all the way under the spout.  Unfortunately, even with all the bleach products and some soaking the grout is now pretty stained on that portion of the counter.


257/365 - Sleepy Leia puppy.


258/365 - Today was school picture day for Adam, so I made it school picture day for Carus too.
