Back to Fall

First Day of Friday and Fourth Grades

Double Digit Day

A Quick Trip to the Mall

Not saying what for, can you guess?

Or was it...

?

There was a difficult moment or two, but we got to go to the candy store, so all in all I think the trip to the mall was considered a success.  Even though I didn't get to keep the Minion glasses.

Let Summer Commence!

After three of her years and six of the family's, we've had our last class at the Acton Co-Op.  We'll miss it!

Happy Hallow!

So That's Sixteen Eyes, Total

Guess who joined the club?!?

Big Weekend for Margot

Margot had a big weekend!  She joined her grandmother for two days and nights at Lisa's childhood camp in Maine.

She got to do a bunch of new things:
Archery!

Boating!

Tennis Lessons!

Swimming at the beach!

All in all it sounded like a great weekend, and that's without even talking about lobster dinner, costumes, campfire, sleeping in a cabin... or pretty sunsets:

Big Weekend for Isla

Isla had a big weekend!  We went to the mattress store to get a twin mattress, and put together her big-girl bed, with a corresponding re-organization of her room!

If that wasn't enough, we also hit the bike store to make sure she had a good ride since she's working so hard on biking and ready for a smoother experience:

And away she goes!

Personal Pies

Our personal indulgences for the (US-time) Pi(e) Day:

Twins from Chicago

(double deep-dish, with crumbled sweet italian sausage)

A Colder Cousin 

(sugar-free banana ice cream pie with crust of homemade graham crackers)

Super Pie Day - 3/14/15

Happy Super Pie Day, 3.14.15!

Since it falls on a Saturday this super-year, we celebrated at work on Samoa time (UTC+14hrs) to move 3/14/15 9:26:53 AM to 3:26PM Friday.  And a good time seems to have been enjoyed by all!  By my count we had ~16 proper pies, plus whoopie pies, Samoan "paifala" pineapple pocket pies, and a delicious quiche.  Also rumors of a spinach pie sadly left at home by accident.
