I guess it's been long enough

I have been admonished to keep up my blog. What is perhaps not understood is that I post when something INTERESTING happens. See where I'm going with this?

However, in the interest of family peace, I hereby update my blog. Ta-daaaa!

Let me see--Zoe is officially in 2nd grade, and we're gearing up to send her to a new school, since I have finally had my fill of ACE's shenanigans. However, for the time being she seems to be doing well. I am particularly impressed by her ability to read French words with the correct or nearly correct pronunciation. This is because she's Super Girl.

Halloween came and went with a LOVELY Cyndi Lauper costume. Much candy was begged for and received--it was a good night. And the costume didn't take her Sainted Mother countless hours to make this time. Just a few evenings for the skirt, and a few shopping trips to Wal Mart for the accessories. It's hard to see from this photo, but her hair was dyed red for the occasion, and lasted several days at school.

During Thanksgiving, she baked her first pumpkin pie and it was most photogenic. I signed on as her helper, so all I did was open cans and handle the oven and stuff like that. Everything else that had to be done was done at her hands. So I took a picture. I call this one:

Gang Pie

Seriously, I'm not sure I could have done any better. From what I understand, it tasted good, too! (Never could figure out the allure of pumpkin pie, myself. . .)

This has not been the most exciting of posts, but at least it's out here on the interwebs for all to see and snooze at--any questions about Christmas wish lists may be directed to my Amazon account, where both I and Zoe have lists posted.

Maybe next time I'll come up with something a bit more fun. . .
