Day 274, Sunday, September 30, 2012

Today is the last day of September.  Where has this month gone?  We rode our bikes this morning for 45 minutes...about 4 1/2 miles.  Ate lunch at Culver's and went to the Art Fair on the river front in Peoria.  I also did the Clickin' Walk 2012, downtown Peoria.  This is my favorite shot from the walk.  It is the windows at the Civic Center, showing the reflections of the buildings across the street.  This is one very tired girl tonight!

Day 273, Saturday, September 29, 2012

I had a very busy day!  I went to body pump, ran some errands, ate lunch at Avanti's, bought potting soil and a whole bunch of fall bulbs.  When we got home, Jim took a nap and I worked outside in the flower beds, planting bulbs, trimming hostas and cleaning up my house plants, so I could bring them in for the winter.  We went to eat at Panera and on the way home the moon was so bright and it wasn't really dark yet.  I grabbed my camera and tried to capture the moon.  This is the best photo!

I have been watching this tree change colors all week long.  I finally stopped today and took a picture.  It is a sure sign that fall is here in Central Illinois.

Coco and I have been walking after school everyday.    He just sniffs everything and runs along on the street.  We don't have any sidewalks, so we have to walk in the road.  Today, he got two sand stickers in both of his front paws.  I will have to watch him closer, so he doesn't walk in those weeds!

Day 270, Wednesday, September 26, 2012

We had a special visitor at school today.  Blake Crebo came to say "Hi", with his mom.  He is Mr. Stan's grandson.  He is just 3 months old.  It was so awesome to finally meet this little guy!

Day 269, Tuesday, September 25, 2012

I have been using my cricut at school.  These are the footballs, hockey pucks and soccer balls for accelerated reader.  As the students reach their goal, they get to write their name on one of the balls, football for lst quarter, hockey pucks for 2nd quarter and soccer balls for 3rd quarter.  There is a bulletin board near the library for them to add the balls.  One student from each classroom is selected to eat lunch with the principal.
