Random Things

When you haven’t blogged for awhile, there are just some pictures that don’t fit well under any topic, but they are worth sharing.  Here is my tribute to those photos.

1) Sick day.  Although Ellie had a fever on Wednesday afternoon, she was feeling much better by Thursday morning.  Instead of preschool, we headed for a walk to take cookies to Grandpa at coffee corner.  On the way home, we stopped to enjoy the park.

    

2) Fog.  There have been so many foggy mornings.  They are beautiful.

   

3) The Auction.  Since preschool started, we rarely get the chance to enjoy the auction.  This week, we took the opportunity to do so.  We like going up high to watch the cattle get unloaded.  We admired the calves for awhile.  And then, we were in for a treat – 2 llamas and an alpaca unloaded.  (I was curious how that sale went, but we didn’t see it happen.) 

4) The Auction, take 2.  Ellie has started taking a front row seat for the actual auction.  This week she put her feet on the edge, just like the real farmers sometimes do.  She also snapped this picture of the mama cow and her calf up for sale.

    

5) Lemonade stand.  We recently bought an amazing playset for the girls to grow up with.  (Thanks, Grandma and Papa Yoh for the encouragement and more!)  They like the play equipment, but they really like the lemonade stand. 

6) Lehmans.  Again, this is a rare stop now that we moved a little farther down the road.  Ellie and I went in there to see what they were stocking in the toy department.  First, she stopped to make a phone call in the booth.

7) Cross country and hot chocolate.  This Saturday, we went to watch some of our youth group kids run at a cross country meet.  Unlike last year, this year, the weather was beautiful.  It was also a bit chilly in the morning. So, I fixed the girls some hot chocolate in fancy to-go cups.  They were super proud of their cups that were just like their daddy’s.

         

8) Shoes.  Yep, this is what I wore to Madison’s cheerleading debut.  It is like looking at those “What’s Different?” pictures.  Confidence booster for sure!

9) Fashionistas.  I took the girls shopping for some fall clothes.  This is what they both chose to wear.  So, so, stylish!

10) Bus stop.  Every once and awhile, the bus forgets to stop at our place.  It always brings her home.  The fun part is that it turns around and Madison gets off on our side of the house.  It is a fun change.
