Sunday Snapshot

I'm here. I'm still here. I am glad to say that I am no longer buried beneath the piles of summer clothing and pool paraphernalia that needed to go into storage. Nor am I stepping over the mounds of laundry waiting to be finished from the fall/winter clothes bins that needed to be washed. And washed. And washed. And the folding?! OY! All that folding!!!!

The good news is that it's done. Another season change-over done and only a few necessities have been added to the shopping list. Mainly shoes. What is it with shoes? I mean, why must all four of the older kids need new shoes (and multiple pairs at that!) all at the same time? Can we please space out the growth spurts once in a while? I'm just sayin' . . . .  The bad news? Well, as soon as all the capris and shorts and flip flops got boxed up and stored neatly in the basement, the temps zoomed right back up. To "Mom, it's so hot out side I think I'm dying" temps.  Yeah, I know. It happens to me every. stinkin'. fall.

It's been two weeks since I blogged at ya.... Really, I can hardly believe it. I'm easing back into things with a pictoral stroll through the last two weeks of  The Gang's life. Just a fun little Sunday Snapshot, brought to you courtesy of the lovely Stefanie over at Ni Hao Ya'll.  Link up and join the party, won't you?

Dr. D discovered a new "perk" to home-schooling.

Behold his little study cubby.

Complete with a fleecy Eagles blanket on cold mornings! 

The Boss splurged on this lovely bouquet

of orange roses to celebrate our

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY!

 LadyBug and I transformed two dreadful

Halloween costumes into a lovely, ladylike

noble-woman's gown for her field trip

to the local Renaissance Faire.

And of course, Li'l Empress had to get in on the

prettifications. She even tried to learn a proper curtsy.

You know, just in case the Queen walked by.

And most exciting of all the events of the past two weeks???

The Boss and I got to enjoy a long, lingering, quiet, and romantic dinner for two at the local fondue restaurant.

There are no pictures of the auspicious event.

We were too busy snuggling in our corner booth and smooching between visits from our waiter.

To join in on the Sunday Snapshot fun,

head over to Ni Hao Ya'll and link up.

But don't forget to leave me a comment

if you want me to visit you :)

It's only fair, you know.
