Scenes From Today

It was a beautiful fall day - one of those days when everyone remarks on how perfect the weather is. Here are some scenes from waiting on the front porch for everyone to be ready for school, and from walking home after school with Molly showing off the earrings she made in hr wire art class (and looking distinctly rock-star-esque).

School Pictures 2012

I have a soft spot in my heart for the school pictures, and it's so fun to get them both at the same time this year. Enjoy!

Circus fun at the Beach!

Clipper Cards

How excited were the kids to get their Clipper Cards? Sooo excited!

Now that Clara's 5, she has to pay kid fare on busses and BART (no more free rides!). We'd been meaning to get a Clipper Card for Molly for over a year now, but the process isn't easy. Adult cards can be picked up at any drug store or ordered online, but for kids (and seniors) you have to present the kid and proof of their age (passport, birth certificate, etc.) in person at a limited number of places that have their own limited hours. We finally waded through the process in October and the kids now each have their own transit card.

We've had a lot of fun "hooping" onto the bus and BART since we got these.
