I finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon in July and enjoyed it. A very fast read about an autistic boy that has to solve a murder of a dog. But it’s really not about the murder but rather about the way the boy thinks about things that makes this interesting.
I give it a 7/10. I finished it in about 3-4 weeks of on and off reading.
Monti has a thing for the planet Uranus.
I was asking her why do you like Uranus so much today. She responded:
“I love the colors, and I love the way you pronounce it.”
Both my girls were so brave. I have a video of Monti getting hers done but Dahlia’s face says so much in these pictures…
A little nervous……
OK I think I want mom now……..
No words for that face.
This one breaks my heart…. She just couldn’t hold them back anymore.
Suckers to the rescue (she doesn’t like suckers but she enjoyed picking one out).
Pure sweetness
Now the fun part – picking out the earrings!
The girls made me some great cards for my birthday. Monti’s is below (cover and inside).
Dahlia’s:
Dahlia to Monti:” Have you ever tried Peppermint?”
Monti:”No”
Dahlia:”It really really really really really pepperminty”.
My left leg has been aching and aching quite a bit lately. I finally went in today to get it checked. The PA told me that my lower L5 or something (right near the “BEAR” of BEARING in the pic below) is out 50% now and immediately scheduled an MRI which I also got today. I see a spine specialist Monday to discuss what the plan is.
Good times.
Dahlia: “You know why I like Joe Jonas? Because he rocks and he very handsome.”
Me: …….
Saw this on the road yesterday. I’m guessing it doesn’t have air bags but not 100% sure. Maybe the half steering wheel was the giveaway.
Elsa and I had a kidless afternoon a few weeks ago and hiked Little Si in Snoqualmie.
