The End of the Day

This is Qixi at the End of a Long Day

It was a Sad Day. She obviously doesn't look happy about what went on.

This is Qixi again. She doesn't look quite so Sad.

Oh look! Sad Qixi seems to be brightening up!

Hmm.....Qixi definitely doesn't seem to be having a hard time in life right now.

Wait, what's this?

Hey! Who uploaded these???

Hurry, quick! Now's your time to laugh at her.

Okay time's up. She's pretending like she doesn't know what is going on.

Yup, she's pretending alright

And now, she is back to normality.

The End

P.S.

This was taken a year ago. Thanks Esther for the photos!!!!

My Family

Actions:

You know you've done something of significant abnormality when your Grandmother is staring at you with a look of unbelievable disgust. Hey! it wasn't that strange. I was just dancing.

Walk like Groucho Marx for at least one full minute without breaking into laughter. It's one of Moxie's favorite pastimes. Or, I guess you could just do the whole mirror scene:)

Miscommunication: 

Qixi: I have to go pee.

Esther: Let's practice together.

Loss of Time:

Joshua: Has it been an hour yet?

Qixi: Since what?

Joshua: Since I came home from Gabe's house.

Qixi: Well, when was that?

Joshua: I dunno, maybe 20 minutes ago.

Havalah: I lost my time!

Qixi: Your what?

Havalah: My time, I mean.....what's it called again?

Qixi: Oh, you mean your watch?

Havalah: Yeah, that's it(=

Rumors:

After much talk about John Wayne, pseudonyms, and how people change their name to protect themselves (like for instance the Jews), Esther yelled out "John Wayne was a Jew?!?!?!?!"

We made sure to correct that statement before anything was spread around;)

The Little Girl and the Turkey

I was reading some Thanksgiving poems and I came upon this one which I thought was too sweet to keep to myself;

The Little Girl and the Turkey

The little girl said

As she asked for more:

"But what is the Turkey

Thankful for?"

Thanks to Esther for the pictures!

Two Things

These links lead you to two things I found today that I absolutely adore;
Tea for Two

Hanging Tree Installation

Half Price Books

Every other Wednesday, we have harp (Moxie) and piano lessons (Qixi and Moxie). While we are playing away on our instruments, Mom shops around.
She always ends up at Half Price Books.
And every time we get in the car, Mom says, "Guess what books I found?!"
We squeal, and then spend the ride home looking at the new books. Mom always visits the Nostalgic section, where she gets stuck looking at all the books, and eventually tears herself away an hour or two later and purchases a pile of books.
Being a book addict is fun, but it can get rather expensive. Some of the books Mom has found are;
Girl of the Limberlost
Les Miserables
Cranford
Lorna Doone
Samantha at Coney Island and a Thousand Other Islands
Cheaper by the Dozen
Bells on their Toes

If you haven't read any of these books yet, check them out! They're all great!

Autumn

These are some things we want to do before autumn is over;

Taffy Pull

Apple Bobbing

Make Homemade Caramel Apples

Wax Leaves

Picnic

Fly a Kite

Old Iron Works Days (This was accomplished by our family, however we were not able to attend)
