Scenes from an evening

Here's Oliver when told that he had to do some of his homework right now.



 Here's Oliver when told that there's one more piece of chocolate cake left:



 Here's Henry, acting goofy before Cotillion:



Here's Henry looking handsome before Cotillion:



Here's Sophie, looking tired after her six-hour infusion:



And just so you don't feel too sad for that girly up there, here's a peek at our Halloween mantel:



(Those are some leth-uh plays of Shakespeare, underneath the bric-a-brac, doo-dad, whatever, Halloween decorations)

  1. Beautiful pictures. I am hoping that Sophie's infusion helps tremendously. Cotillion? They still do that? Are there dance cards? Henry is very handsome. And Oliver is too.
    I love that little house (church?) on your mantle. Why are miniature things so charming?

  2. Let's see... cake vs. homework. I know which one I'd choose!

    Ditto Ms. Moon. Henry is quite a handsome fellow.

    And Sophie does look weary. I hope the infusion leads to better days for her.

    I love the pumpkin clowns. No decorations up over here yet. I just can't bear to until the thermometer reads less than 80.

    I love your new blog look. And what are Shakespeare's "leth-uh" plays?

  5. Love the pics!! Don't know what "cotillion" is...I know WHAT a cotillion is, but I don't understand it in relation to such a young gentleman.

  6. Your children are so beautiful! I love it when you post pictures of them. I wonder how Oliver's little body can contain his huge personality :) I hope Sophie feels better after the infusion therapy. Thinking of her this morning.

  8. Yeah for chocolate cake.My choice for breakfast in fact if it's available.

    I have some seriously bribable cotillion pictures from when the girls did it.Most have the girls,standing a head taller than the boys in those early years!

    And sweet Sophie.I'd imagine she is exhausted.I had PT with Zoey yesterday and at one point the therapist said ..."It's a rough life Zoey",as Zoey was protesting.To which I replied ..."Actually it has been.".This is all hard exhausting,unfair,stuff.

    As for Halloween decoration ... I adore the season.Can't say for sure why,but have all my ecorations in place and loving the season!

  14. Ohhh...hahaha, "leth-uh", as in "leather?" I'm just a li'l slow on the uptake sometimes...

    Like my friend from New York who named her dog "Busta." "Buster?" I said. No, "Busta," (in her Brooklyn accent.) Aren't you saying,"Buster?" No - "B-U-S-T-A."

    Whatevah.
