First Birthday at the Beach

My littlest is no longer a "baby"!

He turned one today!!!!!!!


Emers was all smiles this morning....





He is in love with his new tent...


And stacker....


And his first little people truck from his aunt in Michigan!


And popcorn....





After a bath, he played some more...





Walked to lunch at chipotle...


Then drove to the beach...











It was a GOOD day!!!!!

Thursday!

Faerie farm play...


Ira drew this picture of her and liv...


We read some library books... We fell in love with this one!

It's all hand sewn hand dyed wool and wooden figures/collections from nature. So precious. Going on the "to acquire" list!








Took a night stroll around town....

Leaves!

We are putting our library cards to work!!! Three trips to library in one week!


Lego truck building...


Walks...long walks. Emers and Liv are hilarious in the stroller together. Emers is just now getting to the point where I can take him out of the carrier for longer periods.


We found a huge pile of leaves..





This look is priceless.


They also found a new friend. They ended up playing with him for a while in the leaves.





This is ira's silly walkin' face.


An this is why I usually bring out the triple stroller for long walks. Eventually Ira gets tired.


Liv fed Emers her sauerkraut. My babies love their fermented foods!

Monday and Tuesday

Monday and Tuesday were a whirlwind!

There was fresh fruit...














Duck watching...We've watched these ducks grow from tiny babies....













Brownie sharing at tea time...








Fashion designer Ira bijade!
(that's her famous designer name) she was showing off her "tattoo"







Look #2











The girls wanted this book during story time... It was printed the year I was born... It's the longer, well written poetic version... I wonder when authors/publishing houses decided to write books for kids that sound like they are written by 5 year olds.
I find well written books with metered sentences hold the kids' attention so much better than "and then Molly said_____ and then Jimmy said_____"

End rant.

The book-

















Bean bag toss- these have held up well- almost two tears now!

















A blurry picture- but it captures his silliness well, I think.

















He is always smiling... Well almost always....

















I love love love that we have toys thy have been through two or three kids and are no more worse for the wear. I can't help but remember liv, not even crawling yet, playing on the floor with that rattle, or how similarly all of them play with this stacking tower....

















It also makes me so happy to have toys that LAST! Those wool rings are over two years old! One from etsy (babus) and one from a dear friend in Alaska- hippiediva (who is also on etsy and her own site)

They are in the same condition they were when I bought them! Which is amazing because they are used daily.

















Thinking of a cheer...

















Liv makes a silly face every time the phone comes out for a picture:)

















We made pumpkins for our fall nature table... Ira did the stuffing...

















Pumpkin #1





Liv and I worked on some wall hangings for over the nature table- mod podge & things collected on our walks...









Ira is looking older to me these days...

















I get this face from her a lot - it usually means "why don't you understand what in saying/trying to convey"

















Liv is really into creating- with lots of different supplies- stickers, watercolor, pastels, oil pastels and crayons were all at play here...
