Costanoa...

We were on our way... Liv said "does this skirt twirl enough?"






We went back to get oil, while Jared worked, we went off to play.

As we ran through the field liv yelled "mama! Take a picture of the mushrooms! Fairies live there"


It was a gorgeous evening...




















Ira wanted a pumpkin- she tried really hard to convince me they might be free (they weren't)

Wednesday & Thursday

The kids got belated birthday present money from their grandma in Michigan....

They asked to take it to the toy store- so we went to one we had never been to before, but heard great things about...


WOW


It was AWESOME!









They got a ton of dress up stuff and baby dolls/stroller etc...











Emers askin for a hug....








We woke up thursday to a chilly chilly day....I made some tea and read them poems from this book....


They colored with some stencils....


Then it warmed up, so we went to do laundry.... It was 79 degrees in foster city! The only way to know it was fall was to get a Pumpkin Smash smoothie! Only the best Jamba juice flavor ever....


The laundromat was sweltering too:)


The littlest kids helped me fold clothes while Ira watched shows on the 50inch flat screen... :)


Then we got froyo.... It was a two treats a day kinda day....
