Elevator Music

Cole strolled up beside me in the kitchen, remote in hand. He had his back to me, aiming the remote at the TV and skipping nearly ever song that started on his sisters "One Direction" Pandora station.

"Mom, I can't find a Pandora station I like."

"What's a song you like a lot and we'll start one from that artist."

"I like this music, I just wish they had... like an orchestra playing it."

"So you want pop music, but an orchestra playing it? No words?"

"Yea."

"That's called elevator music, man."

He quickly flips to the search screen on the TV and heads back into the family room.

"K.  I'll search for that."




I'm so proud. :/

Flocked

Just something silly I saw on my way home and had to share.  This was a house in our neighborhood, with a sign in their yard that said, "You've been Flocked"



The Halloween Tree

We have had a dead tree in our backyard since we moved in, almost a year ago. Jane calls it the Halloween tree because it's scary. Every wind storm we loose another branch or two because the limbs are rotted to their cores. When they started falling in the neighbors yard we knew it had to come down.

Here's some pics of the silly adventure (I love how kids turn stuff like this into an event of a lifetime) :)



Macy, Jane and the neighbor kids :)
