Beginnings of Fall

SO - the family hasn't been up to much lately but here are some pictures of our mundane lives.

The animals always entertain us.  Gumball got herself a Cheeto out of the bag JD had on the couch.  She is a very messy eater.

 Lulu knows this and was there to lick up the Cheetos crumbs that Gumball dropped.  If only Lulu had opposible digits then she could get her own Cheetos.

 How do you know it is fall in Texas?  They take away the watermelons in front of HEB and replace them with pumpkins.

 We did have a little rain this week. 

 JD and I are still going to school every day.  Some days I feel the need to wear my lesson plans.  WOW - when did I get my mother's neck?  Getting old stinks.

 If only my neck looked as young as my legs!  Here's something that makes me glad I have a summer birthday.

 My friend down the hall turned 50 this week.  I won't be telling a soul that I'm just one year younger than her.  SHHHHH - nobody needs to know.

JD's favorite thing about primary (Sunday school for elementary age kids) is that if you tell the bishop what you learned he will give you candy.  Since JD is so deprived (ha ha ha ha ha) a little candy is always a treat.

Scog Island

I went to JD's back to school night this week (in addition to hosting my own).  Our task was to look at our child's map of Skog island . . .

. . . and then use it to locate which island our child had made. 

 I found JD's island right away because it had a Gumball feather in it.  I don't think that's how the exercise was supposed to work --- BUT --- that's how it worked for me.

Speaking of Gumball.  Here she is helping herself to my salad.  She has appointed herself alpha pet and thinks anything that comes into the house should be open for her inspection.  She enjoyed my shredded carrots but turned up her beak at the avocado.
