sock monkeys siestas and seuss

really
not feeling any emotional attachment to the sock monkey i am making - his face is too big and his torso is too short :( note to self: ankle socks make scary looking monkeys....

absolutely
loving spending sunny siestas floating in our little pool, with the breeze whistling through the bamboo :)

completely
stuffed after having had one too many california rolls for dinner (Sam loved them - who knew :)

impatiently
awaiting my shiny new pizzelle maker :) Sam is waiting for his birthday gift, some fancy game thing or other which i am soooooo tired of hearing about :|

frantically
searching for a doggie door so we can escape from OC for more than 4 hours at a time - the dogs are very good about holding their business and all, but the doggie door is going to be our ticket to ride (at least i hope:)

utterly
befuddled about the practically new target by me that closed for FIVE WHOLE DAYS for an extreme makeover ("the first of it's kind in the country" allegedly), that looked exactly the same at it's grand reopening today :|
ps the only notable difference was a huge pile of trash around the back, full of brand new baby gear... why not just donate it all :(

hopefully
going to La Jolla tomorrow. Dr Seuss used to live there you know. and Gregory Peck was born there :) that's all i know about it, except Sam calls it la joll-a which i love (and hated to correct :)

at swim class

this has been how we have all spent the past few days :)

i am NOT biased but i think he is the sweetest dog ever :)

yesterday Friday turned 11 so we let her and Bumps play outside and even eat plants (they thanked us later by having diarrhea on our bed and barfing all over the answering machine;)

my latest invention, the fort-er-slide (idea blatantly stolen from our british 'neighbour' hence the british sharp 't' in it's name :)

he loves it :)

our TWO DOLLAR slip and slide :)


datenight


scenes from OUR italian restaurant - at last, i think we found one to call our own. i love it there, it's cozy and comfortable and i want to wear Coco Chanel on our datenights there.... and the food ... yum!!
