The weekend was pretty darn good. Lots of birthday celebrating, chillaxing with Jack Bauer, working in the garden (goodbye tomato plants), and lots of love. My kind of weekend!

HUZZAH!
November 5, 2011
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Birthday spoiling started Wednesday when Danni came over with some treats (thanks Danni, I so love it!) and yesterday was definitely filled with more happy and more spoiling by Ben and the girls. Actually, God is the one who really spoils me by giving me Ben and the girls. Will share about our little celebration soon, but I have been enjoying the gloomy weather and Ben being home, and we have been fulfilling my 30th birthday request of watching the last season of 24. If you have ever watched that show, then you know it is hard to stop once you start!
I must say, being 30 is already pretty grand!
Learned and links…
– Had to move Glow to size 1 diaper. So sad! She is not as teeny. This is all happening too fast.
– Soulie can now say “No!” instead of just shaking her head. It is the cutest little no you ever did hear!
– Cool to see Brave and True writing their own words from them just sounding it out. They are learning after all!
– Having a journal nearby all the time, helps me capture all the random ideas floating in my head.
– Glow has been extra fussy at night. Oh sleep, how I miss you…
– My baby sister makes the cutest spiderman and here is the cutest Alice ever!
– Love seeing old school pictures of me and the BFF. We look so young and I was blonde!
– Wish it gets cold enough to warrant buying this coat.
– In love with this ring.
– Ben is just really too clever and sweet, but I knew that already!
Happy weekending friends! I declare it my birthday weekend or better yet, birthday month!!!
A GOOD DAY
November 3, 2011
on me: beautiful possibilities dress, c/o modcloth. shoes, markis boots by report. bracelets, vintage.
on true: dress, vintage via salvage house. shoes, salt-waters c/o tea collection.
on brave: dress, vintage via salvage house. shoes, salt-waters.
on soul: dress, misha lulu. shoes, pedipeds.
I love this dress as it reminds me of a modern day I love Lucy dress. I loved that show so much and always loved her navy and white polk-a-dotted dress. Now I am glad I have my own. The weather here is finally going to turn and hopefully now we can be layering up a bit more. Maybe we can finally put our salt-waters sandals away for the season. I can’t believe some people are already getting snow! That sounds so foreign to this southern Californian!
The biggest news of today is that I am 30. I know Ben has something up his sleeve, so I can’t wait to find out what it is! Happy November 3rd everyone!!!
A LITTLE BIRD
November 3, 2011
True came home from school (she goes one day a week, but is homeschooled the other four days) with this sweet little bird. I love kid art! They always come up with the best things. I need to start plotting more art projects for the kids to do at home.
Homeschooling is going well and we manage to do some bit of school everyday even though our schedule revolves around Glow. True and Brave have gotten so much better at reading, well, actually now they can read. We have been working on phonics and word families and it is pretty amazing. The hardest part is being patient with them. I must remember they aren’t pros yet, but thinking back to when we first started, they have come a long way. Who knows?! Maybe once they get the hang of this writing thing, they will be writing their own blog posts just like this little cutie! We have got a lot more practice to do before that ever happens!
Speaking of writing, the love story will continue when Ben has time to write his part and I am almost done writing my birth story. I might be a little slower getting these stories written down, but they will come sometime soon. Promise.
