Our growing plants
When we got home from NY we planted Sophie’s fairy garden. She has been obsessed with checking on it every morning. Dada also put a bean in water to show Sophie how it will sprout. His is pretty impressive (i dont think i took a pic of what it looked like at first but it was a bean).
Coming home from surf
Dada has a surfboard for 6 weeks that he rented from a guy who will be out of town. Here he is coming home one early morning from practicing 🙂
Oh i love these two!
They are so individually hilarious that I had to watch this twice. First time I watched Sabs, and second time I watched Pooks. I love Sabs move at the end when she slams her foot down like Elsa to make ice (you hear me say oooh ice) and then does this special back up move like she is being blown by an icy wind. We had to cut the video short b/c Pooks was bothered that Woe woe (bow, bow woe, flower, flo bo) nipped her when she was down (teething obviously, not malicious).
Post puke video
This is after 7 hours of driving when Pooks and I were waiting in the parking lot for dada and Sabs to come out of the store after buying car cleaner and wipes to sanitize the puke mobile. Pookie put on the video without telling me so we just chatted into it. Pretty uneventful but there isn’t much video of me so one day this will be watched and cherished for more than it is. :). Love you always peanut!
Ballerina Pook
These videos may seem a little redundant, however the look in little Pookie’s eyes is anything but redundant. She isn’t in a kitchen having her momma video her. She is on a stage, full of lights, in a fairy tale fit for only the finest ballerinas. Or perhaps she is in an enchanted forest with sweet fuzzy animals that can speak? Wherever she is, it is a wonderland. May she always dream big and transform her surroundings into the magic that is Sophie. Shine bright lil one.
Daily makeup tutorial (pretend youtube video) by Pooks
Here she is again pretending she has a youtube channel with a bunch of viewers who come to see her princess makeup tutorial videos. She is a rare one and this is def. a favorite pastime around these parts nowadays. Sweet Sabs is getting in on the action now too!
And here is one I didn’t upload from the other day when she was doing an animal for her audience. Again, she forgot her mirror so we had to start over :).
A few randoms from Pookie’s camera
Just got around to emptying pics off Pook’s camera. Here are some randoms from the past month around town taken by pookie and myself:).
Dia de los ninos! Celebrating children’s day at school!
Today all the parents surprised the kids at lunch time and showed up with a potluck lunch, games, and a trip to the beach together. Sophie knew we were coming but she kept it a secret from the other kiddos. She told me not to worry because she never talks about the parents with the other kids so she won’t slip up.
She was so excited to go back to school and see her teacher Ashley on wednesday. She ran up the hill with her little backpack on and ran into the school all by herself. Ashley made them a special cake for Children’s day and she also handmade a pinata for the kids (super impressive). It was a relaxing and fun day spent together.
When we were heading down to the beach both Sabs and Sophie ran to go on Ashley’s quad. That’s right, they both ditched me. Will had the car so he drove, I rode the quad all by my lonesome, and the little runts crammed onto Ashley’s quad together. On the drive to the beach a family of horses was trotting along side us the entire way. There were two babies with them. It was awesome! I took a quick video and some pics but i was driving the quad so they aren’t the greatest.
The kids all played in the ocean and Sabi didn’t let Ashley put her down the entire time. She cried when i had to pry her away from Ashley’s arms to go home. Don’t think i’ll have a problem when it comes time to send that one to school :).
It was an awesome day celebrating a bunch of awesome kids!
Out and about in SJ
We really only stayed one full day but we were out and about the entire time. We went to the multiplaza to look for some running shoes for Will (he scored a pair for 50% off from North face) and play in the toy stores for the girls. We walked to McD both mornings and had a coffee while the girls played in the playground. We went out to a super nice dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants, and it was yum! Hmmm, what else…night swimming at the hotel, dancing in the rain, and a trip to the bookstore for Pooks who picked out some fun new books! We didnt accomplish anything we were supposed to do but we def conquered the fun factor! The ride home was thankfully much less eventful. No one puked and the ferry was fairly empty.I think it took us 5 hours but I can’t remember b/c I didnt time it. Loads of fun as always!!
