2/26/2014 - Sick Day/family Reading night

Li and I were both a little under the weather today. Li got the treat if walking Finn to school. 
Then a little visit to Dr, Beans to check out some eye goobers. The doctor says he is on the mend. No meds needed.
I ended the night with Family Reading Noght at school. It was a fun event. Parents volunteered to read to small groups of kiddos. Finn had a blast! So did I. Really loving this school!

2/23/2014 - Outdoors

Went to Joaquin Miller for a trail run and stair climb. Wish I could have captured how pretty it was.
Then the kiddos and I ventured to Dimond Park for a morning play session. Loving the sunny mornings.

2/22/2014 - Social Butterfly

We attended a surprise party for a coworker this weekend. The kids are so friendly that I easily made friends with my coworkers kids. LIam felt so comfortable that he proceeded to take off his shirt. He spent most of the party strutting around topless. My Li!

2/19/2014 - Follow through

Finn promised a school buddy his Spinjitzu set if he would stop following around a playground. Finn mentioned it in passing. I brushed it off thinking the buddy would forget the promise. But alas, at the morning drop off, his buddy mentioned to me about the Finn promise. I hate to make Finn give up his treasured Lego, but I want him to follow through on his promise. Not letting him off the hook. He is sad to give it away, but I hope it teaches him a lesson in dealing with conflict a better way in the future. It feels awful to make him do it, but my head is saying we need to fulfill the promise. Hard to know the right thing to do.

2/18/2014 - Busy day from start to finish

No pic today. Feel like I've been running since my early morning alarm went off. As I was putting the kids to bed we realized we had forgotten our pic of the day. We didn't have the energy to run downstairs to get a camera.

2/17/2014 - Train Time


My creative little boys can find fun ways to use our furniture. Please see the fantastic train they created!

The kid should buy stock in Nabisco for the sheer amount of cereal he consumes. It's insane.

2/2/2014 - Mama Babies Date

Since Jesse took the kiddos all day yesterday, I decided to take the boys out for a few hours to give papa a break. We went to Target and hit up an indoor play area because it rained today!!! Woo hoo! Never thought I would be so happy for rain but our CA drought needs the rain!

2/1/2014 - Pampers

Today we showered my best friend who is 7 months pregnant. We all were super pampered by having our hair blown out and eating a delish lunch. Then we window shopped (some shopped shopped). Nice day! Felt like a celebrity.
Digging the pampering and fun girl time.
