a seriously intense:: Chain of Events

TWO WEEKS full of life in one teeny tiny post!


We tagged along with J on a business trip and travelled to San Diego for four days...
it was a beautiful drive down along the coast and an amazing few days in heaven- within 5 minutes of a Allergy Free bakery!


We adopted TWO rescue dogs.... And one got very very sick with parvo.

The home treatment for Parvo was intensive....

So we occupied time by:

Looking up raccoons on the iPad...




Making a permanent address for the healthy dog!



And Keira drew a picture of the two dogs running together...



Keira made a BUNCH of candles!



And solved a mystery using fingerprints...



Gears...



Sun!



Writing...



Digging...



Rain!











Princess crafts...




Very Very small post... :D

The 5th of may

Our little Liv wore every dress up outfit we own today....

And someone stole her gnome shoe...







Ira made a list of fiesta "to-do"s
And we headed for a walk and whole foods....



Walk to Starbucks...







Ira's "freak out" face over her "so loose it should have fallen out a week ago but she wont wiggle it" tooth...



The list-



Thats: Food, music, tables, plates, banner, balloons, soda.

She also made puppets...







Then we enjoyed some "Mexico music" on the world music channel- ate quesadillas and tacos and danced.

Ira Art...

Ira created a gallery of Fancy Nancy after we read "aspiring Artist"...









Then she made a bouquet of flowers... All her idea, and she was so creative in figuring out how to get the hearts perfect each time.



She used a domino as a press!



She has also been writing lots of music...
