More Mother's Day!

I was lucky enough to be taken to the movies to celebrate motherhood. Check out my handsome dates wearing 3D glasses.

We had such a great time seeing Alice in Wonderland!! Thank you Scottie!

Mother's Day!!

Logan and I making cards and flowers for our favorite mothers and grandmothers! We love you!!

Fairy and Elf Spring Party

Lo's playgroup held an "Elf and Fairy Spring Celebration" and costuming was MANDATORY. So I quickly whipped up this Elf costume for Logan (please do not be surprised if you see this again as a Peter Pan costume at Halloween)

Ready to Go!

Little Pixies running up and down the hill. Everyone was so cute, it looked like a little fairy woodland.

Me and my sweet Elf







This party was so amazing, there were tons of craft and things to do. Starting with "make a fairy head piece" , Logan didn't make one, but I did, complete with curly ribbon.




Then off to "magic fairy dust necklaces", Logan made a pink pony for himself, and a rainbow pony for Mom, sweet boy!



And no party is complete without a full dose of kid sugar, so there was make your own fairy wand cookie. As you can see he takes his sprinkles very seriously.





*Sorry I can't get this video to load*




And the best part to of the entire party was the May Pole!! Our good friend Mayo made a 10 foot tall may pole complete with ribbons and flowers. You have NEVER seen anything as funny as a bunch of 4 year olds going around the may pole. Please ignore the fact that Lo falls down and all I do is laugh, I am going for the mother of the year award .






The finale of the May Pole dance leaves Lo tied to the bottom, but his pretty fairy friends rescued him




I absolutely loved this party, it was so fun, and funny, I truly hope we can make this an annual event.

Mow out Air Polution 2010

San Diego's Air Pollution Control Board has a program where you can trade in your old gasoline powered mower for a discount ($300!!!) on a new cordless, electric mower. Removing one gasoline powered mower reduces the same amount of air pollution as driving your car 20,000 less each year!! So Lo and I take our old mower, it was a hand me down from a very good friend (thanks Steph), down to the parking lot where this was held, and we were VERY late! In fact they had already run out of new mowers, so we packed the 1963 Murray Mower back in the trunk.

Every other San Diegan waiting to exchange their mower...

But since this shingdig was held down by the water, Lo insisted that we take a quick peek at the pirate ship...

And the submarine.

Not my first choice for a Sat morning activity, but we will try again next year!!

Spring is here!

Hooray Spring has arrive in San Diego!! And I just felt that Lo and I should head to the park to practice our baseball skills. After a very short game of catch (or fetch as Logan learns to use his new baseball glove) we quickly moved on to rolling down the grassy hill, followed by a photo shoot.

Lo goes down the hill...

A lovely picture of Logan by Mom...


And an awesome picture of Mom taken by Logan (I am thoroughly impressed by his picture taking skills!!

Tide Pools with Grandpa Tim

Logan and I were lucky enough to have Grandpa Tim come down to visit this Sat!! After the roof was perfected by Logan on the Lincoln log house they built, it was time to hit the tide pools!! We were all very excited and discussed all the animals we may see, starfish, sea anemones and crabs on the drive to the Cabrillo National Monument (best tide pools in SD in my opinion). Only to arrive to find out the I am not as good as I thought I was when it comes to reading tide charts. Yes the tide pools were covered up by the tide....


This did not stop us from having a great time exploring the rocks and the beach. Logan and I even got soaked watching the waves crash on the rocks. Here is Logan on the rocks...

Lo and Grandpa Tim down by the water


And then we hiked up past some of the most beautiful coastline, this was our view from the top.

Our lovely day was topped with an enthusiastic game of red light, green light back to the car, followed by lunch at Island (a fav of Lo's and mine)

Thanks for making the trip Grandpa Tim!!!

TAG

Logan was recently invited to have cake at my work, Tactical Assault Gear, for a co-workers birthday. He had a great time, (how could he not there was ice cream cake and hot cocoa for breakfast?!) and so did all the TAG employees. He entertained everyone!! And since Lo loves soldiers and everything military (and by military I mean guns) the boys thought it would be a blast to give him his own holster and gun. Please see the photo below of a very scary four year old boy...

But don't worry the gun is rubber (but honestly it looks amazingly real)
