One perfect fall Thursday when Q was gloriously home from work (rare occasion), I sent the girls out to help him rake up the leaves. Oh how we love our front yard. We dream and dream and dream of the backyard being finished this spring. Anguish and dismal is that road.

This is all I have of Thanksgiving weekend. I hate it. I'm thinking I need to finally break down and get a smart phone so I can instagram. I admit, though,that smart phones come with heaps of trepidation in my book. Add to the list that I hate my hubby always being in a conversation with a friend. It feels like he is never present. Then there is Annie who could spend hours playing with his phone without a second thought. Other ramifications as well. My students' access to instant information is killing their patience and ability to search for answers or determine relevant and reliable informational text. Any parent who provides their teenage boy with a smart phone is allowing incredibly easy access through gates that should be locked tight shut. Yep. Sooo hesitant to jump on the smart phone lemming train. Afraid I won't last much longer.

SEVEN7 girl cousins right in a row! They are completely lucky beyond measure to have each other.
Here are the oldest 4. I must admit- it's awesome.
