birthday > r2d2 style

We did the best we could at an impromptu r2d2 cake. 

replay > jimmy fallon > star wars tribute

Today may be Patrick's Birthday - However, The Star Wars Premier Trumps it!

(Lucy watched this over and over this morning)

~ Happy Birthday Love ~

in the moment > chocolate chocolate chip cookies...

Mom (after washing lucy up): "Lucy, did you get into the cookie dough again"?

Lucy (chocolate covering her face with an attempted wipe): "Nooo..."

I'm pretty sure she will get her batter fix this Christmas.

my theo > my snow bunny

It's just not the same.  Searching for a Christmas Tree with no hand saw.  No over-sized winter coat.  No brother [tommy].  And definitely with no snow.  Theo made up for that...just looking at him while we watched daddy put up the outdoor lights, made it feel like we were in a winter wonderland.

replay > johnny cash > hurt

..."Nastrovia"

outing > family tree hunt

my theo > his many faces

I'm a bit behind on posts (sorry)...I swear it's the excuse "i just had a baby".  Once again I will be doubling up on blog/Instagram posts.

in the moment > jello jigglers was a pretty big deal

 

Over a month later, and she is still talking about it...

replay > alabama shakes > this feeling

I need this song - this feeling - at 3:20 in the mornings after long nights...and the start of a long mornings.

Lucy at 5:15 am: "Mom I can't sleep because of the baby..." (Up a little too early....)
Lucy at 6:45 am: "Mom, Dad Look! The Sun is Out!"

Yes it is Lucy, yes it is.... Today is a New Day.
May this song bring peace to the start of your day....

my theo > hello world, my name is theo

in the moment > ghost girl

She's chosen to be called a number of things during the halloween week...

(Bat-girl Ballerina, Owlette, Ghost Girl, ... The Joker... all on top of her regular > Baby, Elsa, Mommy, the Teacher, the Patient, the Doctor, etc.)

It gets a bit confusing.

family > today is our last day as a family of 3...

my lucy > purple & green are her favorite colors

"Why So Serious???" - the joker.

Happy Halloween!!

my lucy > joan's farm & pumpkin patch 2015

3 years in the making. 

my lucy > and me...and my last days with a belly

in the moment > the calm before the daily sandstorm...

my lucy > another sunset

Baby's due date has gone and passed.  Every day since feels like forever....we are just waiting......

in the moment > shhh...the baby is sleeping

This is what a baby looks like sleeping in the park.  (...a pretend baby).

current obsession > t is for tornado

I finally pulled out some real reading material.  To my surprise, Lucy loves it.  We have been reading at night, taking breaks and picking up the following day.  I wasn't sure Lucy would remember or anticipate whats to happen next - but she does :)    Bonus: The letter of the week in preschool is T.  T is for Tornado.  We've been kind of obsessed.

my lucy > morning snuggles

I'm a bit sluggish these days - so I'll take the morning snuggles....

my lucy > icee's & silly faces at the air show

 

 

We've been together a lot lately - at least it seems like that for the last 3 years... The past two weekends have been fun - Car Show then Air Show.  What else would 2 girls do?!  [I'm not sure she even looked up at the sky this time...] We definitely need a little boy in our life!

current obsession > i scream for ice cream

I'm pretty sure we have had ice cream everyday for the past 3 weeks (or popcorn of sorts)...I'm pretty sure we will continue for the next 4....

my lucy > sunset twirls & wishes

Me: "Lucy, what are you wishing for"?

Lucy: "Yiayia and Papouli"

Me: "What are you wishing for Yiayia and Papouli"?

Lucy: "I'm wishing for them to stay pretty because they are old.  I don't want the garbage man to take them away"....

May this wish come true. My wish is that they will live forever. 

Happy Birthday Yiayia (my best friend)

my lucy > opening disney

I never thought making a trip out to buy star wars toys for daddy could lead to Lucy opening the Disney store with her magical powers!

replay > gene chandler > duke of earl

Lucy and I went to the 26th Annual Nostalgia Days Car Show in downtown Livermore yesterday.  We had a great time just us girls.  Stopped at Spanky's for a hot dog, Lourdes Ice Cream shop for a scoop, and left with a bag of popcorn to bring back for Dad.  The Show is done really well.  The Cars were great and all, but if I left with anything, it was the appreciation of the great music they played throughout the streets.  The music was more nostalgic for me than anything....Hope this oldie starts your week off well.  Although, I couldn't post this specific song without the clip from Jimmy Fallon with Jimmy Page so long ago....

current obsession > lucy's bed

I love this room. When Lucy leaves for preschool now - I find myself in here more than I'd like to admit.  Thankfully she loves it too!
