All of our loose odds and ends

We went to the Annual Library Open House last weekend looking for a good time. While a good time was not to be found, we got some exercise (1 mile round trip!), Lucy got her face painted (Jake asked if he could try his hand at the face painting station. Needless to say, kids were lined up to get him to do theirs too.), and I got my overdue library movie (that I didn't even know we had) turned in. Not a total loss, but we might choose a better way to spend the afternoon next year, like cleaning the baseboards or watching leaves fall off trees.
Speaking of which, IT"S COMING!!!! The tree at the end of our street is starting to change and I'll get a picture tomorrow.

We also went to the Zoo again last week and Miles bonded with the giant smelly sleeping tiger. He had a hard time tearing himself away from that window. Until I told him we could go see some giant smelly sleeping bears. That kid's just one thrill after another.
