Lately...

We've just been enjoying ourselves around the apartment lately. Which I'm realizing that I like for various reasons...one being the built-in friends for Keeleigh and two being the way the balcony smells when everyone does their laundry. Sunshine fresh.
I'm not sure if Keeleigh's the evil genius behind organizing lots of the kids in the apartment building into forming a club or not but they have formed a Fun Club. At first they made signs saying they would meet for recreation, food, crafts and games under the oak tree. Then they tried to construct a clubhouse by putting blankets all over the monkey bars. Unfortunately the campus police nixed that idea. I wish the campus police had told them to take the blankets back to their mothers because one of Keeleigh's got left on the playground. During a torrential downpour. Along with papers and a huge box of colored pencils.



They finally set up camp underneath the stairwell on the first floor. Today Keeleigh had me make copies of a sign announcing their first fundraiser--a bake sale. I'm not real sure who's going to be baking but it's taking place Friday and lemonade will be going for 50 cents.

If I had my guess I'm betting Jathan, as much as he loves cookies, is looking forward to the bake sale.


Here he did a very good job eating his dinner and was rewarded with an oreo for dessert.

That night we all did a very good job cleaning our plates. I made hamburger hash, green beans, and fried eggplant with a fresh tomato topping. It was pretty awesome.


Another thing that I'm enjoying about our apartment is the metal front door. At the bottom I've placed some magnetic numbers for Jathan to play with. He carries them from the door to the fridge and back again several times a day. At the top of the door I've displayed a poem that I constructed after finding my Girls Speak Out poetry kit I bought in high school.



And lastly, check out my new rainshower shower head! It's so much better than the one we had when we got here. Also did you notice that I'm apparently on an orange kick when it comes to shower supplies? I didn't do it on purpose at all!



I love that shave cream if you're looking for a good one. It's apricot scented and smells so fabulous!

So that's what's going on around here this week...what's up with you guys?
