Day 22 - Homework

There are lots of different ways to do your homework. The best thing is to do it as soon as you can so you're not behind or caught off guard. 

When doing homework you should be comfortable.

I like to sit on the couch and use the lap desk*. I have the laptop, my pen, worksheets, folders, composition book, and a snack. Yum, cupcake. We don't always have cupcakes. Sometimes its pretzels, cheese and crackers, carrots and celery, or Lebanon bologna roll ups.

Almost done! Yay!

Where do you like to do your homework?
What's your favorite "brain food" snack?

*If you like our lap desk you can get one at The Shop On Leighton Avenue. Thank you, again, Amaya and Elizabeth! 

Best wishes,

Day 27 - Spooky

This was fun!

Instant spooky, don't you think?

Super easy - just a sheer scarf and one of those LED candles.

Do you decorate for Halloween? If yes, do you go scary spooky or cute spooky?

Best wishes,

Day 23 - Monster

There are lots of different monsters. I don't like the really scary ones. But the ones on Sesame Street, Monsters, Inc.and others like that are fun - especially the ones at Monster High! 
We were brainstorming ideas about the monster theme when Xyra came home with one of our favorite Monster Cereals.
Booberry!

It makes a great snack. 

Even dry like a snack mix. You could mix in some Cheerios if you wanted.
Our other favorite is Count Chocula. Poor Frankenberry...just not a favorite.

After watching Monster High Freaky Fusion we may need to try it again.
See if there is new spark.
(giggling)

Have you ever made a snack out of dry cereal? Which is your favorite?

Best wishes,

Day 21 - Funny

I thought I'd take on this challenge. At least, I think I can be funny sometimes. So I found these great candy corn socks an tried a couple of poses.

Argh! (laughing ) I lost my balance! (laughing)

Do you like candy corn? Or do you prefer honey corn? 
(Candy corn is bright orange, yellow and white; honey corn is tan, yellow, and white.)

Day 16 - Dog
It turns out we have more dogs than cats. 

So just as easy.
Really?
Well, they obey the "stay" command better than cats.

True.

Have you ever dressed your dog up for Halloween? If yes, what did he/she wear?

Best wishes,

Day 15 - Cat

We have a few of those, so this was an easy day.
Well, as easy as it can be trying to pose 5 cats. 
So we only have the one picture.
(laughing)

Have you ever tried to take a picture of your pet when they were being cute or funny? 
What happened?

Best wishes,

Several Days Combined

Day 14 - Hot Chocolate, Day 17 - PJs, Day 18 - Blanket, Day 19 - Popcorn, Day 20 - Movie

ABC Family channel helped with this combination.
What a better way to celebrate Harry Potter week than with a movie day.
And when watching a movie one has to have popcorn (if you like it).

We made hot chocolate to drink.
Put on our pjs.

Crawled under a blanket.

To watch Harry Potter!

Yes, that's Draco not Harry, but you get the idea. 
Here we are watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2.

Do you know what scene that is in the movie?
What do you like to snack on while watching a movie?

Come back again soon.

Best wishes,

Day 13 - Rain

Rain is really hard to photograph.
Melody and I tried a couple of different angles from the front porch.
One with flash.

One without.

Then I tried looking out the front window.

Out the back at the hot tub.

But even film directors have issues making it look like it is raining in the movies. 
It has to be "pouring sheets" to show up on the film. It was only gently raining the day we took these. 
Then I had a great idea and got the rain indirectly by the drip marks in the puddles on the back porch.

After finally getting a picture, we scurried back into the house for a steaming cup of tea.
Definitely not nearly as cold and damp inside as it was outside.

What do you like to do on rainy days?

Come back again soon.

Best wishes,
