Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

I keep telling myself I'll have time to blog tomorrow... yeah....  so here are some random goings on in our life.

Uncle Dang came over for supper a while ago and Cecily was thrilled to make him play with her. Emmy was very curious about the blocks too.   

Dang is very patient with her.  Emmy is eating that block.

Shelly came over and we made apple cider donuts.  We tweaked the recipe a little bit and they didn't flop (even though I measured something wrong) so that was exciting!

We tried to play outside while it was still nice out... We raked a leaf pile for jumping in.  Also known as "the north mountain."  She is officially Frozen obsessed.  

She fell asleep still hanging on to her toy.

So my 'little' cousin Kray plays football out in Indiana...  if you scroll down to the end of this article he's quoted as saying "Lord willing."  Which makes me laugh.  A lot.  Paragraphs and paragraphs of the same dumb, empty phrases that sports people say that don't actually mean anything- much sound and fury, signifying nothing- and then a "Lord willing." 

I've been attempting to get a decent picture for our Christmas cards....  you can all stop laughing now.  yeah.  I have lots of TERRIBLE pictures. I think I need a camera with a faster shutter speed- they just don't sit still long enough.  They start out sorta ok...

 and...

 then we get here...

 ... and four legs in the air...

I may give up.  Or send out the funniest bad one.  I am keeping them all for future scrapbooks and wedding slideshows...

Emmy has two teeth poking through!!  No wonder she hasn't been sleeping well... 

Elsa was going to school. 

 I'm still having fun pretending to teach chemistry.  The week we talked about Max Planck and Niels Bohr it was a very bohring lecture- even Planck was sitting around board.  My life is now complete since I have gotten to say that in class.  This past Friday we did the flame test with no casualties except for an inoculating loop. Woot!  You can kind of see the green flame from the ionic salt Emily is burning.  So many pretty colors!

Last night we had Rustin and Sharon and girls and Eric and Rekeeta and Abby over for supper... and then the guys played tanks and the girls wore themselves out running around.   

Anyway.  It snowed already.  We don't even have our leaves raked yet.  And I don't like having to wear shoes and socks and coats to go out. Woe is me.
But...  my birthday is coming!  And Christmas! 
Blessings.
