"There! That's what I think of ye

"There! That's what I think of ye. Before an hour's out, I'll stove in your old block house like a rum puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh! Before an hour's out, ye'll laugh upon the other side. Them that die'll be the lucky ones."
Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!



Sadly, we had to out Mischa down on Monday night

Sadly, we had to out Mischa down on Monday night. Robbie burried him in the yard, and Isa's going to pick out some plants to mark the spot. We now have a regular pet cemetary going on!
The other kitties are doing well. Riply seems to be gaining patience with the kitten, Skippy, who get fiestier by the day.



Isa had a great first day of school

Isa had a great first day of school. She enjoyed catching up with her friends, and seemed to like her new teacher. Her only complaint was that during PE Mr. Hudson went over rules, and they didn't get to do many activities.
I think the excitment of the day wore her out. She came into our bed at 4am and couldn't sleep because of a continuing bad dream. I may be able to salvage some of the day now, because Starbucks has Pumpkin Lattes on tap!



Back to work after the long weekend

September 04, 2007 by Seraph in Cortez

Back to work after the long weekend. Isa and Robbie are frantically running around taking care of the last back-to-school errands (hair cuts, dental apts, etc).
We spent the weekend getting some new living room chairs, making bread, and generally relaxing. We had some play time with Isa's friend Mikaya yesterday and a mini BBQue in the evening. Isa also had the grown up experiance of getting her ears pierced! She's really quite proud of it, and keeps pushing her hair back to show them off.
We're trying to plan out fall activities. Isa wants to continue with violin and swimming, but is also interested in adding Irish dancing and/or school marching band. I suppose I should get used to the idea of multiple activities, but I still worry about over scheduling her time.
