Early Tuesday Morning
Tags:Waiting for the bus. Giggling while being chased by Dad. Lily wanting to play fetch. Hot coffee. Orange twinkle lights. Anna already off with Kim. Bagel & cream cheese. Teeth-brushed. Hair sprayed with water to keep that "crazy hair" at bay. Papers placed in backpack and reminders spoken to give them to his teacher. Fog. Shoes on. Coat on. Fewer verbal reminders these days than in the past. Conversation about how happy he has been lately. Third grade. Subjects + predicates. Routines. Rhythms. Fall.

Ali, I love how you live in the moment. I too am working on taking notice on what is present and just enjoying "what is". Also looking at your picture reminds me that I need to put out my holiday lights and decor. Thanx!

Most of the mini-figures have come in lego sets. He's gotten a few of the single mini-figure packages at Toys R Us or online through the lego store.
Orange lights are from Micheal's.

Hi Ali - question for you, now that I'm on a minibook high (thanks, BTW!). Do you plan to blog-share your album on the road from your Greece trip?

I'm not sure yet Jill - I might use it for an online class about creating scrapbooks on the road.
Great idea for a class - I'll stay tuned :)
