Pumpkin Patch Photos

]]> The kids, Hubby and I went to the pumpkin patch today.  We had a blast.  I’m telling you.  Heading out to a pumpkin patch on a Monday versus Saturday or Sunday is WAY better!! There were no crowsds.  I’ve updated my photos.  To view, just click on over.

Fun on an Airplane

]]> This weekend BC and I are on a special trip together. eClaire is spending the weekend with Hubby at home.  (I think she’s already been to Toys R Us and gotten a new dolly!)

BC and I took a plane ride yesterday and had a great flight. It’s pretty fun keeping a three and a half year old entertained on a plane. Way easier than flying with two kids are under the age of two!

Thank goodness for my Mac! Here’s a few of the highlights.

Hubby constantly talks about my LARGE teeth. This one’s for him:
Teeth
Superstar!

Mom and Son

Hot.

Beetle Juice

Finally!  A reason to call BC a butt-head.

I like to call the following two pictures, “I’ve got my eye on you!“


And that, my friends is how you entertain a thirty-one three year old on an airplane!

Here’s to lipstick and chocolate cake!

]]> Here’s a few highlights of the week:

Hubby Santa had the genius idea to buy window markers and give it to the kids in their window stockings. In San Diego. At my parents house. With no less than 50 windows and French doors. I’m not exaggerating on that number either!

Smiling Mom Mrs. Clause knew her dad well enough and, let’s be honest, her kids well enough, to know that markers on a window and children at my parents house made for bad juju. (You are WELCOME Dad!) She made an executive decision not to put the those markers into their stockings.

Hubby found them yesterday.

Ahem.

Then eClaire found out that not only did the pink marker make for great abstract art, but it also made for a great lipstick color.

img_1182.jpg

Ya. So.… That was fun!

img_1186.jpg

My kids are such budding artists!

Oh! Oh!

And then today! My daughter thought she’d “help” (quote fingers implied) me make cupcakes for her upcoming birthday party! It was so much fun!! Having her help, I mean!! Look at what she did!!

img_1187.jpg

Fun huh??!!

Yes. That is a bite mark. But wait there is more!

img_1188.jpg

FIVE Cupcakes!! Thank goodness for frosting. No one will ever know the difference. hehehe

Frosting solves all problems.

Well..

Except for this one.

You see, I have this incredibly cruel sense of humor. I love to take pictures at totally inappropriate times.

img_1190.jpg

Like just after eClaire gets off of time-out for EATING MY CUPCAKES!! Do you see the chocolate up on her forehead?

So funny!! :-)

…I mean, so sad :-(

But really, you couldn’t get a more pathetic picture if you tried!

And to answer the question that’s on all your minds, Yes. I’m already saving for her looming therapy sessions.

Here’s to lipstick and chocolate cake!
