Sorry boys...

I am one of 'those moms'...matching outfits!!
I love it.

Creative or Deviant??

My take on it usually depends on how much sleep I got the night before....I think I was leaning towards deviant on this day!




And then Charlie had the nerve to say...

'I'm too busy Mama to clean up'.

You can imagine what I said to that!

I'm starting to sound like my mom....

For my belated birthday celebration I just wanted us to spend time together...taking a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.

I remember my Mom saying the same thing, not so much about the Golden Gate Bridge...but of course about spending time together. What a wise woman. I should enjoy these years when my boys are happy participants:)

The good moments....

It's been a little nutty around our house lately. With Dad working long hours, Charlie & Max sharing colds and ear infections, and Mom just being plain grouchy.

Here were some good times today that make me happy...

I want to stay ALL BY MYSELF....

What a change from last year's first day of school. Charlie wanted to be sure that Mommy, Daddy & Max were NOT staying this year. So glad that Charlie like his school, teachers and friends. And I can enjoy a quiet morning while Max naps. Yea for the fall and the new school year!

It was all about the redwoods....

Our Labor Day weekend was spent in the beautiful forests of redwood trees in our area. We started the weekend at the Kings Mountain Art Festival in Woodside, CA. It was a gorgeous setting.








Jeff took Charlie camping in Big Basin with a group of his Stanford friends and their kids. Somehow all the wives opted out for a quiet house for 24 hours.

Lots of 'helping' hands pitching this tent....

This open meadow was the perfect playground.



SMORES!!!!

A tired little gang of campers...
