Sara + markers =

yesterday I'm browsing craigslist for like the 100th time trying to find a decent treadmill in my price range (so if you know of one for sale or have one to lend let me know), I should have known Sara was a little too quiet....

Happy Halloween

Check out the girls in their costumes, they are princesses but can you guess which one?

If you can (and I haven't previously told you) I may bring you one of these for your brilliance as this is not a very well known princess.

Aren't these little pumpkin cakes cute? made even easier as I found this brilliant product made by Wilton at Michaels and so each one of them slid effortlessly out of the mini bundt pan.

Need a yummy fall dinner idea? I got this from a magazine Brooke gave me for my birthday, a delicious and healthy fall vegetable chili, I served it over rice and it was delish.

morning commute

Eric got moved to the West LA office and now he has to battle the 405 freeway every morning and night. So far he has been trying to leave early enough to avoid traffic. This morning he left at 7:20am and is stuck on the 405 at a standstill because of this wildfire near the Getty Center. So sorry darling, the girls and I wish you a safe and bearable crawl to the office, thanks for doing all of this for us, we love you.

Prop 8

If you have 6 minutes to spare check out the video above, I come from a pretty diverse family who make many choices that don't go along with my beliefs but I have the ability to teach my children how and when I please about these things. Lets keep our right to choose, YES on 8.

Thank Heavens for....

Oh My Thursday, you left me thankful for a

FABULOUS SISTER-IN-LAW

WONDERFUL PEDIATRICIAN and

FROZEN BURRITOS

On Thursday we had an interesting incident at our house leaving me oh! so grateful for my FABULOUS SISTER-IN-LAW who is currently blog less but is there on the other end of the phone for crazy advice relating to my kids and then has no problem when I show up on her doorstep to leave a 2yr who just woke up so I could take big sis to the WONDERFUL PEDIATRICIAN who can help get noodles out that are stuck in an AMAZINGLY BRAVE 4YR OLDs throat.

Yeah that's right, weird, Kate was happily eating her fettuccine noodles and tells me one feels like its stuck, I look in the back of her throat and there it is dangling, we tried drinking, blowing the nose real hard several times (this has happened before, once, and Kate blew the noodle out of her nose) gargling, coughing and trying to sniff it back down all to no avail. And so we woke up little sis, took her over to fabulous sister-in-law and went to wonderful pediatrician who was quite stumped as to why the noodle would just be stuck there. A little saline wash up the nose and some coaching from our very nice nurse Doris and Kate did cough the noodle out. Anyhow, no more stringy noodles for Kate. And thank-you Trader Joes for yummy FROZEN BURRITOS that were dinner as what I had originally planned to make was no longer an option due to the fact that I had a stake primary leadership meeting the same night. And I am also grateful for my cute family who will happily eat frozen burritos for dinner and not complain.
