A new definition of fun

We used to spend our Saturdays in Santa Barbara shopping, sleeping in or having margaritas for lunch. Today, we spent the morning at a carnival/craft fair/art show at the park. I think it's been a fair trade. Isn't Mike a good sport?

New homies

Keller and Maguire made some new friends yesterday. Really, they just sat there like the drooling baby blobs they are while I visited with my friends Andrea and Janelle. These lucky girls used to teach with me and now get to stay home with their babies Emery (orange) and Maddy (pink). It's nice to have stay at home friends for those days when I don't work and need some playdates for myself. And I'm sure that way too soon Keller and Maguire will thank me for hanging out with these adorable girls moms!

What would I do . . .

without Mike? What husband lets his wife go out with her friends on Saturday nights, gets TWO babies in their pajamas, feeds them and puts them to bed with no problem? He is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Two cute

My friend Christie made us these onesies. We love her and anybody else that gives us cute clothes! They weren't just for show either-we went out on the town this weekend with Sean, June, Jett and Tash. The boys are getting so much easier get out with (especially with Mike's help)!

Maguire's new grill

Ok so I'm exaggerating about the grill. Maguire is now rockin' a teeny, tiny white dot of a tooth. I tried to take a picture of it but I really need a zoom lens. I thought the picture was funny. And then I thought, I cannot believe that this is a big enough deal to me that I would document it with a photograph. And then I thought, if he wanted to reach a developmental milestone early I wish it would be sleeping through the night-this tooth does nothing to benefit me.

A little something for our fans . . .

As the weather in Bakersfield dips below 90 degrees it can only mean one thing for me-FALL CLOTHES. For some of you that may not know, shopping is my drug of choice. The boys have given me a new excuse to shop so I have quickly started assembling their cold weather wardrobe. Mike asked me if fur lined booties were really necessary already. Are shoes up to the ceiling in my closet necessary? Define necessary. Apparently, he doesn't mind if our children freeze. I got a package from Gap last night and today we had ourselves a little fashion show.

Kissing cousins

My sister in law came over today with her family. My ten month old niece Leah couldn't get enough of Keller. She loved kissing him all over. I use the term kissing loosely; it was more like an all over open mouth slobber but he seemed to really enjoy it!
