Hodge Podge

Fall days are so wonderful in my book. Even though we have had very few cool days here in Southern California, we still see some leaves falling and colors changing. This picture was captured on one of the two days cool enough to need a sweatshirt or jacket.
We've been getting ready for a trip to the snow. I won't be getting Sophia a snowboard, but I am thinking about getting Zack one. I have heard that being good at skateboarding is a good sign that one will be good at snowboarding. We shall see. As for Sophia, we'll stick to tubing and perhaps I'll put her in a ski lesson or two.

We went on a trip to the 99cent store, and Zack picked these sunglasses! He cracks me up sometimes. Perhaps he'll start his own trends. Of course, there is a fine line between trend starter and all around nerd. LOL!
Can you what this is? Dog poo? Ummmm, no, this is the aftermath of a crazy mom letting her daughter eat as many chocolate marshmallows as she wanted! It is straight chocolate marshmallow! Yuck, but it is kind of funny as there is no puke whatsoever just chocolate good! One cough and boom, she became a chocolate oozing fountain.

And after the chocolate incident, she wanted her toes painted!

She even kept them nice all the way through the drying process. This rarely happens!

Her new "shoes"! And voila, her snowflake toes!

Today was Zack's last soccer game - boo hoo! And, his team went undefeated. I remember posting about wanting to put Zack into sports so he could learn to lose. Ummm, that didn't technically happen, but he did lose the ball several times. I have noticed HUGE growth in him this season which was the goal. Mission accomplished!

Zack was one of the shorter players, but he always managed to be in the center of the action.




Artwork...to save it or to toss it? I have to admit that I have always been a tosser. I save a few things here and there but then toss it when they don't notice. Now, I've decided that there is a better way to preserve their artwork - take pictures of it and post it here! Enjoy...
