My Snapshot(s)

I'd found this bike (for free!) on Craigslist back when Gv was still an itty bitty thing. She was tall enough to try it out sometime last spring, but after seeing her struggle to pedal, we discovered the rear tire was flat.

We finally got a new tube for it and it made such a difference!

She just took off and would have gone for miles and miles, if a thunderstorm hadn't sent us back home!

List 5 things in your morning routine

I shared my typical everyday routines a couple of years ago and they're pretty much all the things I do right after I wake up.

I do a lot in the mornings, though, so I can easily come up with 5 additional tasks that I do once my feet hit the floor:

I had assumed that this title would be filled with the typical assortment of familiar bedtime stories, like these family favorites, but boy, was I wrong.

My Snapshot(s)

Gv received a little Lego set for her birthday and has just loved playing with it so much. She has already been asking for another one for Christmas, but then this weekend, I decided to get down my old box of Legos, along with some of my other building bricks and Tinkertoys and give them to her.

Normally we'd save even these hand-me-downs for Christmas or a birthday, but I decided I didn't want her to have to wait.

She's been building and building and building, non-stop, ever since!

List 5 favorite fall family outings

I am chuckling, because I pretty much filled up my list of favorite fall activities a few weeks ago with all sorts of outings, so I don't really have anything else to add.

However, I can think of all sorts of fun outings I would love to attend if we could afford them and if they took place here in our neck of the woods, so I'll look forward to your list and share this wish-list of mine here:
