10.02.08
- Simon up before the alarm again (in our bed again too).
- Overheard at the breakfast table: "I am scared of the milk in Daddy's cereal. I can't look."
- Start chicken stock in the crock-pot.
- Make coffee. Walk around and turn off lights.
- Shower.
- New blog post.
- Man, my coffee gets cold fast.
- Talked to Tricia on the phone.
- Working on Designer Digitals products. Talk to Katie on the phone.
- Feeling baby move.
- Listening to NPR/OPB.
- Lunch: leftover chicken noodle soup. Walk around and turn off lights.
- Hang stars in Simon’s room and remove a few more things for donation/keeping for new baby.
- Way too much surfing. Anticipating the debate tonight.
- Listen for the bus.
- First thing Simon says when he gets home: “We got to play Star Wars in PE.”
- First thing he does when he gets home: put on the Darth costume. And he is super excited because there is no school tomorrow.
- Movie of the day: Star Wars (he has gone in reverse order this week).
- Rainy outside. Cozy inside. Just the way I like it.
- Going through boxes. Picking up piles and moving them to new pile locations.
- Seriously wasting time right now.
- Cooking dinner. Making eggplant parmesan – find out I have a bad eggplant. Have Chris pick up another one at the store. Takes way longer than I thought it would but totally worth the wait.
- Simon grabs a snack out of the pantry.
- Eat dinner while watching the VP debate. Second helping :).
- Play Palin Bingo while watching the debate. Neither one of us wins.
- Simon takes a bath.
- We watch debate commentary.
Very few photos today. Planning to take more on Friday.
I will be away for a while this morning but back in the afternoon to answer questions if you have them.
Have a great Friday!

It was funny to read that you had dinner during the debate and that Simon was still up. Then I remembered that you are on Pacific time and we are Eastern here in MI. So the debate did not start until 9pm here and did not get done until 10:30ish. Would have been a real late dinner. :)

Isn't eggplant parm the best? It is a tradition in my family that we have that on Christmas Eve. (And only on Christmas eve because it's so much work! lol) My mom made it for years and now she says if I want to eat it, I have to bring it because she's too "old and tired". She's not really, she's just tired of making it. lol
Love the shots today, I think it's just adorable how obsessed Simon is with Star Wars, it's amazing being such an old movie. Makes you realize even more what a genius George Lucas is! And he even wears the costume! I love that!

Love seeing what your capturing everyday!Your baby bump is so cute! Speaking of baby bumps how's Jessica doing feeling better I hope.so cool your both pregnant at the same time bet your mom is super excited. Hubby and I watched the debate lastnight my first time to watch the whole thing and I'm glad I did.after it was over I was wondering what you and Chris thought about it.I'm really excited about the election this year it will be my first time voting even though I have been of age for awhile I have just chose not to in the past but this time around its totally different. I'm have been interested in the whole process from the start of the race. Anyhoo have a great day!

Your pictures are wonderful Ali, what kind of camera do you use? They are slo crisp and clear...I'm sure it has a lot to do with the gal holding the camera but thought I'd ask anyway.
