Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009As I posted in Cole’s blog we went to San Diego for a family vacation. While we were there, we visited the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. After the Ventura County Fair petting zoo incident Grace was kind of hesitant about going to the zoo but I assured her that these animals were behind [...]
Ventura County Fair
Sunday, August 30th, 2009It’s August and that means it’s fair time. We were excited to take Grace and Cole to the fair for some crazy fair food and to see lots of stinky farm animals. After a quick bite we took the kids to the petting zoo. I thought Grace would have enjoyed petting the cute cuddly animals. [...]
Two Birthday Parties in One Day
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009Grace gets invited to quite a few birthday parties now that she is in preschool. And for some reason, Mommy insists on going to all of them. I just love watching Grace have fun with her classmates. This particular weekend was also Aunt Cara’s MBA graduation so Daddy went to that while I took the kids to the first of [...]
Starfish and Clams
Friday, August 14th, 2009To go along with the Under the Sea theme of crafts the week before, Grace and I made some glittery starfish and clams. Gather up all your supplies and cut out the shape you want to glitter. Add glue. Sprinkle glitter. Give it a good shake. Glittery starfish. For the clams, cut out two cups [...]
Forts
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Kids love forts. Grace especially loves them to hide, play peek-a-boo, or just to relax and cuddle. She wanted to show Cole how cool they were. With Daddy’s help, they built their fort. Cole thinks this is pretty awesome. Daddy adds the finishing touches with the roof. Cole is playing peek-a-boo with sister. There she [...]
Green Thumb
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Grace loves to pick flowers. At school Grace and her classmates pick the flowers around their playground to give to their Mommies and Daddies. While it’s a cute thing to receive flowers, it’s not so cute when she’s picking from your garden when the flowers aren’t ready to be picked. I’ve caught her in the [...]
My Little Hairdresser
Friday, July 24th, 2009Recently Mommy and Daddy went to a friend’s wedding and left Grace and Cole behind with the grandparents. Grace was excited to see Mommy getting ready and decided to help me with my hair. She did such a great job taking out the hot rollers in my hair. She also couldn’t resist putting on a [...]
Frog and Mermaid
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Grace and I have a great time doing arts and crafts. I try to have at least one activity planned each week for her to do during the days she is at home with me. Last week we went to Barnes and Noble for storytelling time for toddlers. The author of a book about frogs [...]
Blanket
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009Grace likes to dress up and pretend she’s other people. Whether it’s the late MJ’s kid “Blanket”…… Or the invisible kid…. Or a crazy cat lady. What will she be next? We’ll just have to wait and see.
4th of July
Monday, July 13th, 2009It’s finally starting to look like summer outside. For the 4th of July weekend we spent lots of time outdoors in the sunshine with family. I asked Grace if she remembers last year’s 4th of July but I once again got a blank stare. Then I reminded her of how she got to stay up late [...]
