Our friends Trista and Heather pulled together an amazing murder mystery party on Saturday. Everone came dressed to the nines (we had friends who rented from Hale theater for the occasion). Kev and I came in more of the Kmart 30% off attire--which worked just fine. Kev looked kinda like Joseph Smith. My platinum hair and two-inch eyelashes looked like Barbie swallowed Cher. We had a great time.
King Randy stood around demanding more ale, Maid Medusa reminded me all night that I'd ruined her happiness, Sir Rufus died gallantly and had his outline taped to Trista's floor. The jester bounced around the room and under the table. We were served an entire rotissoire chicken per couple! The sherrif looked like Lord Farquardt from Shrek!
We will have to make it an annual tradition.

Amy and I also decided we could make our own watch bands and keychains. Kind of an expensive hobby. I thought they all turned out cute, and they were really easy. The silver/crystal is really versatile, and the dark green/black is just fun. Besides, I needed the dark green because it matches my Aragon (click on it to see how fun) nail polish. And everyone knows if you're going to buy vampy green nail polish, you're eventually going to need a matching watch band and keychain :) I know, right?!
Ashley made herself a silver/crystal watch band too, and I still have enough to make another dangly charm set for my laptop bag. So really the beads yielded quite a lot of things.
Grace was so excited to go to the dentist. She marked the occasion by wearing her favorite yellow sundress.
She giggled through her x-ray.
It' s fall and back to school, back to the regular routine. Ashley was actually the first to go back. She started 4th grade at the end of July, but I failed to take pictures. I wasn't really thinking about school then because Ashley also finished up 3rd grade at the beginning of July. So we'll begin with Kourtney.
Kourtney is now in 8th grade. She catches the bus around 7:20--except on Fridays when she catches the bus at 9:20. She's cheerfully letting me take multiple pictures.
Kourt gets off the bus at 3:15 every day.
She's now tired of the pictures.
She started school toward the end of August.
Ashley, as I mentioned, both finished 3rd grade and started 4th grade in July. We drive carpool with neighbors (I only have to drive every three weeks) and get her to school at 8:50. She gets home around 4:00, except on Fridays when she gets home early around 2:00.
We staged these photos on the same day we did Grace's. She's getting a water bottle because her classroom is in a portable this year.
Gracie goes to Miss Heidi's preschool around the corner 3 days a week: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 12-2:30. She started school after Labor Day.
