Quote of the Day

"Don't play drums on my butt."

(Pictures soon? Maybe? If I remember to get new camera batteries?)

This really happened

Today, while grabbing a quick iced coffee at the-place-which-will-not-be-named, I look over at Griffin and he has his hand elbow deep down the front of his freaking pants. I'm like "dude, get your hand out of there." He tells me, in a not so quiet voice, "but MOOOOOOM my penis is stuck to my unerwears!". A dozen people heard this, but only like two laughed. What is the world coming to?

Halloween Fiends

Cool kids all dressed up.
Ok, seriously how hot is my husband? My new screensaver for ever and ever...

Moustache madness!!
My poor dogs.

Gus is a fast trick-or-treater. Like whoa.

Look at this cowboy right hurr...

Ignore my butt and my professional mom skillz - "yeah, yeah, cool story kid. now stand there and DON'T MOVE.".

Skateboarding 101

Sporty Spice

Dudettes, I love Tots Soccer. Like love it, love it. I want to gay marry it.

Making goals is SERIOUS BUSINESS PEOPLE.

Is it just me, or does this photo make you want to be small and vulnerable and cute and hold your dad's hand? Not just me? Thought so.

Wow, nice flared jeans Tito. Gap may or may not have lied to me about how cool these pants are.

Ten points for getting a picture mid-kick?

Can I just tell ya'll - I am so proud of Griffin lately. He is 100% going pee in the potty (standing up even!!), sleeping in his own bed, eating oatmeal, feeding the dogs by himself, listening to Fleet Foxes, and kicking major toddler ass in soccer. I probably shouldn't say that last one. Bottome line, he is awesome. I am so lucky that he is my kid.

9 Things I Love

1. The zoo. Specifically the lions, the gibbons, and the carousel.

2. Soccer is here again!!

3. Everything ever written by Annie Proulx. I have devoured almost every one of her books in the last month.

4. Netflix

5. Fuji apples, forever and always.

6. Last weekend - child free and full of movies and sleeping in and Dexter and treats I didn't have to share. And bagels. It was heaven.

7. Project Runway (Team Logan)

8. Natalie Dee

9. Blogs and coffee. Technically that's two, but they just go together.

Hot

Uh, hi. It's been a while. How are you? Anything new? We've been too busy summering to bother with this blogging business. You understand.

Watermelon and swimming pools and cherries and trampolines... what summer love is made of.

Meet GEORGE!

Just to clarify - this is GEORGE! I am his part-time nanny, Griffin is his full time friend. His cheeks are highly edible.

Birthdays, Bowling, and Banana Nut Cheerios*

Bowling! For my birthday!! It was super fun and I'm not the least bit ashamed that I bowled a 52. On top of getting to play my favorite sport, Darren made me breakfast in bed, I got to see GEORGE! who is CRAWLING!, I got a handful of birthday cards and one awesome package in the mail, not to mention like a dozen text messages, some lovely friends and family members donated to a charity I care a lot about, and I was able to buy 8 excellent used books from Amazon thanks to my dad and my other mom.

*I'm not a big fan of cold cereal, having eaten it three times a day for the better part of ages 18 to 23, but banana nut cheerios are the effing bomb.
