Hi August! When did you get here? So fast too, huh? Jeez. Well, Sam is going into first grade (she tells me – I keep asking her to repeat Kindergarten, she is growing too fast!) and GG is going to be in P4 of preschool. Again, how did that happen? *sob* Every day they shock […]
We always go to Chick fil a on Tuesday’s. Well, we usually go. They have craft night there and the kids like to play. I’ve always liked Chick fil a because they were so friendly to kids. When G was a baby, I would struggle in and they would carry my tray to the table, […]

Friday was our trip to the Wild Animal Park which was AMAZING. I was excited to see the animals but I thought it would be a little lame. I’m not a fan of our San Diego Animal park (too hot, too brown, too much walking) but I LOVED this park! It helps when the weather […]

Thursday was Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Yes, just about the same thing as California Adventure here in Anaheim! Still, Griffin has not been on Star Tours yet so we decided to skip the whole Disney World thing and do Hollywood Studios. We booked it over to Star Tours and got distracted by the sign that said […]

Wednesday was the deeeeee-lightful day of doing nothing! Kids woke up around 7:30am and I got them quietly dressed while everyone slept and we went right outside to the playground and then the pool. The rest of the crew woke up around 9 and straggled out. We had lunch at the pool. Kids made friends […]
The next morning was Islands of Adventure! Seriously my favorite park ever, waiting in line is an experience. They got so many little details right on all of their worlds. We made sure to leave the house at 7am (4am PST time – ouch!) and arrived at the gates at 750 to wait for the park […]

This post is LATE. I wrote most of it the week after we got home (early April!) and then promised myself that I would add photos and… it just never happened! So I’m sitting here on Memorial Day weekend sizing and uploading them. 🙂 I’ll probably break this up post up in a few installments. […]

I couldn’t let the holiday go by without my favorite joke!

“Who is our President again?” “Remember? You know who it is.” “Oh yea. Obama.” “Yep.” “He’s a boy.” “He is a boy. But the President could be a girl too.” “No! It’s a boy. It has to be a boy.” “No, honey, the President can be a woman. Hillary Clinton was almost going to run […]

I won these adorable candy skewers from Sweets Indeed a custom candy and dessert station located in Los Angeles, CA. It was perfect timing as I had nothing planned for Valentine’s Day for Griffin! Sam had some cards and pencils but the younger classes always go FULL OUT in craziness. So I had him pass […]
Every year it seems to be earlier and earlier. The school starts prepping the parents. Open House plans are in full effect to ‘wow’ us into sending in that precious deposit to mark our spot for next year. Holy crap, we are spending HOW MUCH in private school? It always necessitates the freak out conversation. “Should […]
Some people have all the luck in potty training. You think you can go a few days or weeks with some bribes and then at some point it will work. Well good for you. *grumbles* Just kidding, Dave. We’ve been at these bribes for almost a year now. The list is long, my friends. It […]
04/24/1924 – 02/05/2012 I’m glad you aren’t feeling any more pain. #CancerSucks
I continually sigh at my inability to think of a smarter sounding title. But seriously, I hope you are enjoying your holidays! We had a relaxing and fun filled three days of family, good food, and wonderful gifts. Too many gifts! Actually I got tired of the kids asking if they could open MORE PRESENTS. […]

We got a dog. She is gorgeous. My baby is 6. No longer a baby. My shopping is not done. This might help (Clocky, Knork, and that Jambox look interesting!) and I’m being sucked in my all the Groupons going on. Oops 🙂 More later. Plus, I have to catch up on all this TV […]
