Wrapping up the weekend right.....

Saturday morning we woke up here-

right smack dap on the brink of the ocean.....




we went outside to enjoy the view and do some oceanside hula hooping....
























we hung out until about noon, then packed up and hit the road. We usually drive up the %, but its so depressing and sad to go passed all the factory farmed cows and the dry oil fields.... we chose to take the slightly more scenic route... the 101. The RV is a bit big for the 1! at least until we get a little more brave!



on sunday morning, Ira woke up with a craft bug in her.... she was the first to get sick, so she is pretty well all fixed up- now we are all sick!

a moustache...





a ring for mama...




a bracelet to match my ring...




a headband to match my bracelet and ring.... note my awesome bed head hair.




liv, despite her not feeling well, decided that while daddy was unloading our van, she was going to dig....


and she found her first earthworm!!!




she scooped it up and chased her siblings with it.

love it.



jared made us all gluten free and egg free cornbread. it was so delicious, he could sell it.





we ran to target and to the laundromat to wash bulky blankets after the trip. it was a taxing trip with half of us being sick. The littles insisted on going, though. we medicated with pumpkin spice latte for mama and cookies for all.

This week in pictures...

We've been too busy and I keep forgetting to snap pictures!

Here are some random shots from the week!

The rain stopped! It's coming back, but we are ignoring that!





Farmers Market Carrots! So sweet!


Dr. Suess had a birthday! We celebrated at home AND went to the library for pajama storytime.


Our favorite.....

Friday!

We went to the park and met new friends! It was sunny and warm and I forgot my phone in the car. Not used to having a car during the day!!!

Car wash!


Olive and Cedric fell asleep...Ira pretended to be scared...


Then we went to the craft store!!!!!

Faerie house and centaur!


Stickers to add to their collection!


Emers has a new "thing". To be super silly he flops to the ground and laughs and rolls around.








Water guns!

















Heart shaped sidewalk chalk!





Painting....





Snacking...


Purple yogurt! Ira always complains that she can't have colored sugar sweetened yogurt. I bought some food dyes that are made from food an spices and we sweetened our Greek yogurt with honey.

This girl was in heaven. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!





Ira has also been learning to read. So now liv is wanting to.... Liv and I worked on these words...


And ira read me this book! It's so cool to have my child read ME books!


She worked 5 pages in "explode the code".


I was holding off on teaching her to read because I am a waldorf leaning person. I believe academics should wait until the child is ready. Ira started getting her 6 year molars and then lost her front teeth and them BOOM- she demands to be taught to read. So I guess she I ready!

Regardless. It's cool. Watching it all click is fun.
