ten on ten - no, seriously ...

no joke ... i actually did a ten on ten ... instead of just talking about it ... or doing a 12 on 12 ... or forgetting it altogether ...

the only unfortunate thing was that there just couldn't have been a more dull day to document!  for me, yesterday was a much-needed stay-at-home day to catch up on all of the things that got set aside in the chaos of last week ... i paid bills, i did mountains of laundry, i posted a blog entry, i baked muffins, i actually never left the house at all with the exception of the school runs ... 

but dull or not, i played along ... so here goes ...

mid-morning muffin cleanup ...
love this sweet face ...
just me and the bills ...
and the laundry ... 
carpool line ... clearly, the highlight of isabel's day
i love this sweet face too ...
goldfish and long division for homework ...
little ladybug solved a couple of rush hour cards after dinner ... she is amazingly skilled at these puzzles!
meanwhile my oldest is working on the 'stay' command with the pup ... check out at that focus!! 
puppy school was followed by some pre-bedtime playtime

and there you have it ... as dull as watching paint dry ... but there it is ...

You will look back in a few years and be glad you have a record of the every day. Sounds like my days around here lately. Dishes, laundry, packing up Christmas, and lots of coffee : ) I'm almost feeling a little housebound. Wish you lived closer : )

Love your pictures. I haven't done Ten on Ten yet, but I enjoy seeing all of my friends' photos and what they did during the day. Now, I will always think of your sweet baby puppy as Clifford after what you wrote me. :))

YEAH! You did it!!! And you did a great job too! It may not have been an exciting day but you picked up your camera and practiced. And now you have a document of a typical day. You will be so happy to look back on it. :)

OK..we really need to get your LLB and my BB together. BB LOVES Rush Hour too!

Oh...and now I'm REALLY watching you! Don't know what happened last time. :)

I'm thankful for ordinary days :)
Isabel is getting big! Are you getting snow or rain up there? We're all rain and I'm mad!
