God bless the Sweet Baby Jesus!!

for whhat, you might ask? well for starters our car is fixed! not that it was ever truly broken but that idiotic, terrifying 'check engine' is finally out for GOOD! our mechanic Kevin looked at it and established that when you spin your tires in the snow, it makes the light turn on... then off then on again for no good reason, and it does NOT mean the car is about to explode. i love Kevin!! he is a cooler, much sassier, much cleverer version of David Lee Roth! (and i can gush freely about him seeing as i know there is no way in hell he owns a computer :)

today we went to the Salvation Army as we always do at the end of the year with all our garage clutter to claim our valuable charity receipt for tax purposes :) i loooooove wandering around thrift stores with my honey... i play the role of Simon and my spouse is clearly Jonathan and we try to imagine what THEY would pick up, dust off, gush and hug to their bosoms... nothing remotely fabulous today, but we did get a new "Land Before Time" movie for our littlest dinosaur (and his big brother who secretly adores them too :)

poor poor Britney. we watched some 66 minute show on her last night, where the cameras were allowed to follow her endlessly and nothing was off limits, while she attempted to hide from cameras following her endlessly where everything was off limits... hmm, i didn't really understand that part but gosh darnit, i just love her, she's as cute as a speckled pup. but... sliced, processed, icky cheese in grits? for breakfast?? nope. no siree bob, i couldn't live her life.

for datenight we went to the highly anticipated Haus of Pizza in Costa Mesa. it was sooo yummy! where-oh-where have all these awesome woodpaneled, hole-in-the-wall places been all my life? that pizza was sooooo good and only $6... they even had checkered tablecloths and little plastic baskets of garlic bread... seriously, i need to quit finding endearing things to love about OC, i'm trying to disconnect here :)

another reason we must leave orange county: i put a big old black mark on Danny's library account, by losing one of his dinosaur books. apparently you can lose one book and they don't charge you to replace it but they DO put a note in your file that you are an untrustworthy and utterly flaky charlatan. the thought of my precious baby's record being tarnished in such a way is the final nail in the coffin: we're moving to Cape Cod.

Friday divided by 2

Danny made orange juice from these oranges that were causing a nuisance on our side of the fence and needed to be taken into custody (shh!)

it's finally Fall-ish here!

a very sassy mop in home depot... i am too scared to click on quickie.com ;)

to think we almost went to CPK.... this pizza was soooooooooo completely yummy

i sooo wish his second front tooth would HURRY UP!!!!!
