There's not much wax left in this little candle but it has the most delicious vanilla scent. Ellie and I put up a few decorations before she left, and I've continued because piano student Dylan keeps an eye out for timely (if not early) decor. Nothing about this one rhymes with "pie," though. 

W. and I just helped son D. with physics homework that involved cutting out, folding and glueing together a paper trebuchet. Apparently there's a catapult lab tomorrow. I wonder if the teacher tried the project himself. It was nitpicky, sticky and aggravating but hey, Togetherness!
