Kora's New Look...

Well, the note came home from the school nurse--Kora has failed her vision test.  Naturally, I was skeptical as this is Kora we are talking about and she has been a little envious of Katherine's glasses in the past.  However, I made the appointment and we went in to see our Eye Doctor.  Incredibly enough, Kora was not misleading anyone and she does, in fact, need glasses.  This could explain her misspelled 'challenge words' that she copied off the board and swore that was how her teacher had spelled them.  She picked out a pair of glasses that were closest to her favorite color--aqua.  She was so excited to go to school to day after we picked up the glasses.  I have to admit that I believe she is pretty stinking cute in them.  What do you think?

Giving Thanks for a Fun Weekend...

Our Thanksgiving this year was pretty fun. My sisters came to visit. Katherine and Kora love to see Aunts Marlo and Melanie and Kallen warmed up to them as well. Just before dinner, Marlo took Katherine and Kora on a mission of desperation as I had run out of milk and needed some for the mashed potatoes. They all went to the store in their pajamas. Also just before dinner, we caught a photo of Kallen looking about like I felt after the long day of cooking and cleaning up. The day after Thanksgiving we all took our annual trip to the tree farm to find our tree--we went with the Scotch Pine this year. I love the photo of Eric and the girls that I got while we were riding on the wagon going out to the trees. All in all, a fun weekend. Thanks to Marlo and Mel for making the trip out. Next time you visit, we promise to have a better grip on the clutter to ease Katherine's anxieties over an unkempt home.
