"NO"

Please tell me this phase goes away....Sarahs new name is "NO!"........I have always posted the lovely, charming , cute Sarah...well this little "NO MONSTER" comes out once in the while.....she also needs a "Noggin Topper."

What is it with this guy ELMO?

We don't eat dinner anymore with out this little red guy sitting at the table. I talk with girlfriends and their kids are the same way...."E...L...M...O"! I am not upset about elmo being front and center in our lives but I am fascinated with the love that children have for him...........Remember Gwyn? Paul wearing an Elmo hat at your birthday?

Monkey Business

Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet 2 little cuties at the craft fair where I had a display. They were such good models of the headbands they purchased I couldn't help posting their pictures....... here you go girls...thanks for being such polite , funny little girls.

Tutumonkey is taking off....lots of craft shows before Christmas so "Mama Monkey" is busy sewing tutu's ...here is one of my latest:)

Trick or Treat

We had 2 Halloween parties this year...one with our Moms group and one with our cousin Nate! I couldn't pass up posting a picture of Sarah's friend Mya....is she cute or what....Sarah loved the greeting part of Halloween.......she has the Bye Bye Kiss" down.....

Music and PASSION

After being held up in the house all week due to poor air quality....we ventured out to a play group this week. Here is Sarah playing piano with her little friends. I think the music was too much...........they must have been playing love songs.........we will see how cute all this kissin is in a few years. YIKES!

FIRE!!!!!

San Diego is on Fire!! We are fine but man the air quality is not good. Itchy eyes, sore throats and head aches from all the smoke. We are headed to Mom and Renee's house to let it clear. The picture above is this evening...Sad...Sad...Sad.....but the winds have died down so hopefully tomorrow is better.

Whew.....

Sox are in the World Series....Whew!

Go RED SOX

We are supporting Pauls love of the Red Sox today..........Cleavland vs. SOX today at 5pm!!!

Nothing like a good petting zoo

Food + Goat = Not so happy

We had a wonderful day. Sarah was a little startled when the goat didn't eat like Elmo. Elmo is very quite when he gets waffles shoveled down his mouth in the mornings........oh well......we will make a farm girl out of her yet.

Lazy Sunday

Aren't lazy Sundays the best? We have been enjoying the wonderful San Diego Autumn, which strangely resembles Winter , Spring and part of Summer....Football and Halloween decorations makes it feel like a change in season. Sarah is perching herself on this park bench waiting for doggies to go by. She is such a joy!! Hope you all had a wonderful , lazy, Sunday also.

Gone with the Wind........

I hear "Gone with the Wind" music everytime I look at this picture......beautiful , firey, Arizona sunset. We had a great weekend helping my Mom move and watching "the cousins" play. Sarah and Nate are really getting to be good buddies.
