So here I am, another 10 pictures on the 10th to document our day...
I was up pretty early, and when I came downstairs, I noticed the moon!
And then it was off to school! Before the time change, the kids were going to school in the DARK. That was really hard for Max. We had him trained for so long to sleep in and not get up too early, and now we force him out of bed and out the door! So, for him, the time change helped!
I had to head to Yellow Springs this morning. Such a funny, liberal, kind of hippy town in our relatively conservative area of Ohio. It's a cute town, that has neat restaurants and eclectic shops. Definitely fun to visit. Here is a picture of the Post Office. I know, that isn't exciting, but almost all of the trees have lost their leaves. Except for these... I don't know what kind of trees they are but they are still hanging on to Autumns Glory...
And then it was off to Yoga for me! I try and go regularly on Thursdays. I have been working out a lot more since Ross has been gone. It is my effort to stay mentally stable :) I do a lot of different things, and let me tell you... I think yoga is dang hard! The cool thing, though, is that I am seeing improvement. Always a bonus.
And then my favorite part of the day... It's blurry, and we get cut off, but it helps, and I am thankful.
On Thursdays, I pick the kids up from school and head to Panera Bread. We study spelling words for Friday tests and do other homework. We also have yummy snacks! The kids don't have school tomorrow, so we skipped the spelling and went straight to snacks.... Here's a pumpkin muffin... yum!
And then, Tae Kwon Do!
With no school tomorrow, and dark, cold evenings, we decided to snuggle up and play some wii games together. I have fun playing with the kids. I love that they are "experts" in the games we play and they have to explain things to me. It is fun!
And, well, I finally broke down and did it... I made the countdown paper chain. I figured I look at the calendar a hundred times a day, I could handle the long chain and watching it slowly get smaller. I made it out of pretty paper though, so that I actually like to look at it! I made it with a two week cushion, so maybe, one day, I can take 14 rings off at once! Here it is... we take a link off as we go up to bed...

The Skype picture actually brought tears to my eyes- the connection was so cruddy most of the time when we talked to Andy, too, but it WAS sunshine in my day! You're doing a great job, Jill- wish I could be of more encouragement to you :)
