Chocolate Powder

This has been occurring on a normal basis for awhile now.  When I leave the room to do anything I almost always find her some where she is NOT supposed to be.  This is her favorite spot.

Coleisms

While watching Hillbilly Handfishing on Animal Planet.

C: Mom, what are they doing?

A: Hand fishing

C: They are supposed to use fishing poles! Mom, when I am 20 plus 1 years older I am gonna catch fish like this (slaps hands together)



In the car this morning:

C:  Mom where do zombies come from?

A: You have to be bit by a zombie to become a zombie

C:  Do zombies come from Africa?

A:  No

C:  Oh.  I want to kill a zombie so I can eat him.

A:  I don't think a zombie is going to taste very good.

C: why?

A: Because he is already dead and rotting and he probably has maggots.

C:  Would salt help?

A:  probably not.

C:  How about sugar?



Look at what I did mommy!  These are my happy faces.  I wanted to surprise you!

Sunsets

Since the seasons have shifted a month or so around here, in the middle of September we are now getting our summer thunder storms and awesome sunsets.  Here are few from last nigh and the night before.  The first photo was a crazy peach color and everything around us was peach as well.  It was so pretty!   It's still about 85-90 degrees.

Stomp Rockets

I bought Cole a stomp rocket yesterday because he really wanted it but also because it was only $10.  Man was that the best $10 every spent.  He is in LOVE with this toy.  

And I totally get the best mom award for attaching glow sticks to it for some night time fun!

San Francisco

On Sunday I had an engagement session in San Francisco and since I have been gone so much I really wanted to be able to spend time with the family as well so Mike and the kids came along with me for the day.  We took the kids to Pier 39 so they could watch the sea lions fight with each other.   Apparently the sea gulls have gotten quite aggressive because they will now fly right in to you if you are holding food and take it from you.  It's quite funny to watch the people get attached.

We took the kids on the carousal for the first time.  They loved it but didn't quite understand why they couldn't keep riding on it.  :-(

We went to get pizza after my session was over and luckily the restaurant was empty because our little still don't know how to behave in public places.  :-)

It's love

I love watching them walk and hold hands.  It's a rare day for Siena to let Cole hold her hand so when he can he is all over it.

Soccer

Cole really seems to love soccer!  He doesn't quite get the idea that you don't exactly have to share the ball with everyone and that it's ok to steal it from the other kids.  He does love being goalie though!

I don't even know what to say.

This photo cracks me up for so many reasons.  She is so dang serious I just want to pinch her little cheeks.  She is so pink it's blinding.  And she rocks this look like no one else can.  I love her!

Garage Sale Finds

Last weekend we picked up these gems at a friends garage sale.  The kids LOVE them!  Siena is always trying to make us food in the "kitchen"

The best find ever!!!!!

Yesterday while driving home from work, I was telling Mike that I wanted to turn our garage into a natural light studio. Less than 20 minutes later I pull up to the post office and see a for sale flyer with these beauties on them and one other couch and chair! 1930's furniture! I was in shock! This is exactly what I would put in a studio. OMG I was so excited. 15 minutes later they were mine! $250 for both. Unreal. I can't believe they are mine. And they are in amazing condition!!! eek!!!


Excuse the photo. I'm blogging from the ipad2 and the camera isn't the best.
