Pictures of our bedroom

Roger and I painted our bedroom hazy lilac. (not quite r's idea, but he went with it and applied all the paint for us anyway!) We had some slip coverings that were chocolate and wanted to add that color in to compliment the lilac. When we tried to find a bedspread that was solid or a texture nothing quite would go and we did not really want a dark color. This is not quite what we wanted but overall okay. Vincent does not really like it, but he does not like color. He always likes white. Tina(Lawrenceburg), he might really be yours!

More Light and glass

Wanted to try and take some pictures out my kitchen window but the sun not quite out enough. I will try again. Page, if you are checking I wanted to show you a picture of my cake tin you got me and how nice (I think) it looks with my old meat fork and rolling pin. Love ya!

Classroom acrostic snow writing/story webbing about break

Our classroom has been busy learning to write! We did some acrostic poems and are learning to web some of our ideas to help organize our writing. These are some samples. I am proud of their efforts.

Saturday morning ADD

Okay.... Drinking my coffee this morning and I told Roger how nice it would be to have a sun room because I love the feeling of sun hitting my body in any weather, especially on a cold morning. I went over to the window to raise the blinds and got distracted by how dirty they were and went back to the kitchen to get a towel and windex spilling my coffee on the chair in the process. Then as I moved over to do the other window (I couldn't just do one could I?) I noticed the ice frozen on my fountain and how pretty the reflection looked. I have always been a sucker for light and glass and this made me want a picture of it really badly, but I was after all, right in the middle of cleaning windows. I moved over to the french door windows and managed to get through cleaning one and a half before I had to sneak and take a picture or two. Here are some of them I managed. The fountain shadows happened as I took the first shot and realized as I was taking it I saw the shadow on the window. I tried to capture the shadow only in the next shot. Not too bad. Kinda neat. The violet is one that my great grandmother had. My Nana had it after her and I have had it now for close to 20 years. I am not sure how old it is. Notice the Star Trek bowl below it. It was Gabriel's first little boy-toddler cereal bowl. When it cracked I did not want to throw it away and it has had that home ever since.
