Two mornings this week, Ada put on her brand-new, toddler-sized backpack, loaded down with only a cup of water, and headed off for Kids Day Out.
The first day, drop off went great but she was a little tearful afterwards. It looked a little like this:
The second day, drop off was terrible, but all went very well after that.
The 4 hours (over two days) this afforded me allowed me to venture into a favorite local coffee shop, order a pumpkin latte, and write well over 2000 words of my novel during daylight. Alleluia!
Finally, we wind up this week with a cool and refreshing present from Gustav, now kinder and gentler than it was to our neighbors down near the Gulf.

We're expecting Hana this weekend. Fun.
Love the sleeping picture!!
I hope you're far enough away that it causes no damage!
She looks so cute!
Thanks. :)
She is a hilarious kid.
Oh I love the rain pics! How adorable are they?? :)
I'm with you on the pumpkin latte. I've had two already since discovering they're back...it's going to be an expensive fall!
It sure is! And you know the place I go, in Station Plaza? I think they make the best ones! In fact, I just set a scene in my novel there, I love it so much.
Tracey. It just occurred to me: you're local. Some friends and I have a monthly bookclub that meets there. If you're interested in hanging out with some women to drink coffee and talk about books (a little) one evening a month, drop me an email!
Oh, I love 'singing in the rain' photographs. I'm so excited to hear about your daylight writing time.....
I love love love your photos. I wish I could capture my girls on "film" half as well as you do your children. :) I chased the girls around out there for an hour and got soaked, but no shots of both of them face-on!
Now I need to check out your blog to see how you're doing with Emma Sage at school! I can't imagine what that must feel like.
Hi Saralynn!
Book club sounds really wonderful, I'd love to know more. I can't find your email address, don't know why I am inept in such a thing, but let me know how to reach you?
Tracey
Tracey, cool! Email me at ms_sarahlynn@yahoo.com and I'll email you back from my "real" email address (that I don't want to post here) with details. :)
