The World I live in and Life in General

A big check on my Disney Bucket list...

hello red cup.

Happy Friday, yesterday I had my first gingerbread latte of the season in my favorite RED CUP.

The red cup and I have a love love relationship, gingerbread lattes just dont taste good without being in one.

This years theme, Make your spirits bright.  WISH.

so...make a wish (leave a comment) for your chance at a red cup (gift card).

Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

Seven November 4th's later and we are celebrating your 6th birthday...what a blessing to have such a funny, adorable, clever girl in our lives, I love you.

  
  
 

boo to you: 10 on Friday

1. I cant believe October is over... Christmas will be here in less than two months!

2. Celebrated (well not really because Max was working in Seattle), our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday.  But he did come home late with flowers...I am thankful to have him.

3. Oli is doing really well at his new preschool.  They are loving, kind, and treat him so well, I think we made a good choice.

4. Having him in preschool has given me more time to spend in Katya's classroom, her face just lights up when I come to volunteer.

5. She lost ANOTHER tooth. (thats #5, maybe #6.)

6. Shes going to be 6 next week and the celebration begins this weekend, I managed to get tickets to see THE LION KING in San Diego and I know she is going to LOVE it.  Just us girls.

7. I have a runny nose and cough...its annoying.  Last week I had a flu, for 4 days, I felt better for 3 days and then max (who has been traveling alot lately) brought home a cold, which is what I have had now for about 3 days (ugh), thankfully the kids have stayed healthy.

 

8. Made awesome mini burgers for movie night last weekend, Thanks Trader Joes!

9. Took the kids to another Pumpkin Patch and the Science Museum, the new Hockey exhibit was really awesome.

10. Halloween weekend...lots to do...cant wait to get started, hope yours is a good one too.  I will be hanging out with an alien and a lion (possibly Jasmine if its too warm).

 

its all good in pictures.

Pumpkin patch visit was a success.

The last kid got his costume, hes all set for halloween. (he spends most of the night barking when the kids ring the doorbell).  He's a turtle.

ANOTHER visit from the tooth fairy.

Its official, we have a goal scorer.  Last year, she didnt score once, this year shes on fire!

Last game she scored 4 goals. 

Someone tried out preschool.  He loved it.  Next week we are hoping to get him on a real schedule.

Time reallly does fly doesnt it?
  

 
 
 
  

hello October. blech.

Dear October,

I was so happy to see you, until...

• I woke up later than I should have.
• my kid also woke up later than she should have.
• This kid also refused to eat anything for breakfast.
• had a tired,sick  husband on a deadline who worked from home.
• attempted to take my son with me to a school volunteer meeting, I had to leave 10 minutes in because he was ready to go.
• had a major pity party, I wont go into details but it wasnt nice, tears were shed on an impulsive drive to the beach.
• forgot my wallet at home.
• had to search the car for coins to put in the meter (i didnt drive 30 minutes to newport only to drive back without taking the kid and my nerves to the beach).
• found enough to stay 30 minutes...pushed it and stayed an hour (didnt get a ticket).
• came home, made lunch, got 'in trouble' again.
• Oli peed on the floor (potty training is wonderful isnt it?) thoughts of pity party re-enter my head.
• picked up the kiddo from school.
• homework.

The day has gotten better since...

• and I took advantage of a great sale at MyPublisher.com to order my disney vacation photo book.
• family walk.
• Pumpkin pie.  yum.

I figure it was just a bad start...tomorrow will be a better day.  I'm ready.

first top tooth...

Is gone...it is the third tooth she has lost and she is super proud and I cant help but smile at her little toothless smile.

 

bye weekend.

1. Watched Mad Men on an early feed @ the gym.   Seriously when are they going to just tell us what happened to Pete regarding his and Peggy's baby?
2. Spent the afternoon on a mama/daughter date at the D23 Expo...she had a blast and so did I...she was especially happy to have won a snow white doll in one of the many raffles and what girl doesnt like sparkles?  
3. Soccer photos, check.
4. Scrapping with the girls ALL day saturday...wonderful.
