My little co-pilots

Saturday we took the kids to the airshow in Camarillo.

The weather was good to us as we checked out all the planes.

The kids enjoyed themselves although Adam preferred staying in the stroller.

I tried to take him out and walk with him, but he wasn't having it.

Andrew loved all the planes and said each one was his favorite.

Always wishing for Happy Faces

Andrew had a tough day at school on Monday.

When I picked him up from school

I found this in his cubby:

A red sad face!

Andrew thought spitting at his friends was a fun idea

and

running around during circle time would be great

Well, Miss Debbie didn't think either of those were good choices,

so Andrew had to color in the red face for not listening.

Because of the red face, Andrew wasn't allowed to take a toy home

I ended up taking away his Popsicle and cartoon privileges for the night

because he kept spitting at home too.

The next day we had a long talk.

I told him spitting was not aloud and

to let's try for a better day.

Well, when I picked him up on Tuesday

Andrew was waiting for me with this:

Yay, a green happy face! He was so proud

And so was I.

I treated him to his favorite yogurt Menchies....

Let's see what today brings

He was crying when I dropped him off at school this morning....

Praying for a green happy face :)

Palm Springs Bound

I'm going on a road trip tomorrow.

Going on a little adventure with my best friend, Jessica.

We're heading out to Palm Springs with the girls

to celebrate Jessica's birthday.

It's a short trip, one night, but we are all

excited to leave behind the stress of daily life;

to lay poolside with some cocktails.

Happy Friday!

Summer

I feel like summer has come and gone.

We haven't had any summer weather this season.

Well, one week of 3 digit heat, but that's it.

I think we've been in the pool twice; not enough!

Where did summer go?

Kids are starting school already.

Target is already promoting back to school sales.

We're half way through August

which means September is right around the corner...

I want summer to last longer..

Handy Adam

I have a new Handy Manny fan in the house.

Adam loves his Manny.

He knows all the tools names and loves his Handy Manny book.

The best part is him singing the theme song :)

A new friend in the house

We have a new friend in the house

He has lots of colors

and is big, soft and fun

The kids love him

and he makes for a nice pillow

Meet our new friend the jumbo caterpillar!

Our friends from DC sent him to the kids

It's so stinkin' cute!

Grandma's

We all love them, and we all appreciate them, but sometimes....they can do crazy grandma things.  Saturday night grandma cameover to baby sit for us while we went out.  The kids were so excited to see her, and why not, she had cookies and pizza in hand.

Raul and I had a nice night out with our friends. We haven't been out in awhile, so it was good for us to spend some time together.  We ate, drank and danced and now i'm still paying for it with a cold, grrrrr. But, it was so much fun.

When we got home that night I went to the bathroom to find this:

Yes, that is hair all over the bathroom sink. Evidence of some hair cutting from Ms. Grandma.  When I woke up the next morning and saw the kids, their hair was fine as it always is; a bit short but cute.

However, as I approached the kitchen, I see Herme filling water balloons in the kitchen sink and giving them to the kids to throw in the house.  Then the kids carried the water balloons towards the computer, awesome.  Raul guided our little water balloon tossers out to the backyard with Grandma. whewww.

We love those Grandma's, but they are silly sometimes.
