Hard to tell who likes the kiddie rides more...

Not a school day

This is what 10 am looks like when no one (me) shakes him awake at 7:20 in the morning.

Snacks with Dito

Got to babysit for Remi today - So I picked the boy up and took him straight to Children's Fairyland. This place is so perfect for new & newish walkers. Lots of things to look at, low fences to hold onto, little farm animals and a stream. There are also kiddie rides like a "train" and a merry-go-round. After an hour or so in the park we wandered down by the lake for our "lunch" - yumm crackers. Then I got a two plus hour nap out of him in the car seat driving home. Spent the afternoon with both boys where I was too busy baby chasing to grab the camera, but trust me when I say they both had a lot of fun. There was dancing, there was mess making and there was Mac N Cheese.

SFO

This is what the boy looks like after 5 3/4 hours on a plane!
(He is running in circles right in front of Hugh Laurie by the way who was on his way out of town after playing Hardly Strictly Bluegrass)

Spotted at SFO

Very fuzzy picture of TV's dr. house who we saw yesterday as we deplaned in SF.

Momma gets breakfast

Chicken & Waffles at Aunt Mary's ---9.27
This was one of the rare mornings where my errands took me out of the immediate neighborhood which in turn became a great excuse for treating myself to breakfast - and since I had a half off coupon for aunt Mary's ... well lets just say Chicken and Waffles here I come. It was a nice treat to sit outside on their deck and enjoy a few minutes of quiet over coffee & yummy food. Maybe I will get to bring Em here sometime.

Right before the fire alarm went off...

On Monday mornings the kids all gather in one classroom for Havdalla (to say goodbye to the weekend) - this week was going along swimmingly until the smoke from the candle set off the fire alarms. But I got to see how good everyone was at lining up and marching out of the classroom to the meeting spot - and then FOUR firetrucks came. The kindergarten kids loved it. I was just glad that it wasn't raining.

Reunion at Mills

Spent bits and peices of the weekend out at Mills since this was the class of '86 Twenty-Five year reunion (really how can that be) - it also was the installation of the new President (who I think is gonna rock!) It is weird that reunion is mainly a bunch of folks that I don't know AT ALL along with Chris Daniels - but in the Mills Spirit they took me into their group and made me feel welcome and a part of which was really sweet.

Missed Deb and Rissa for sures though
