Insta Friday: The In Betweens

This week went by so quick! I thought I wasn't going to have any new pictures. But who are we kidding, of course I took pictures...

I got this skirt and belt at my new favorite store. J. Trendy. (Thank you Stacy). I seriously could live in it.  It is actually shear with a 1/2 slip underneath. So it is super lightweight, and so comfy. $19.90 for the skirt and belt.

Wife of the year over here.  We are stoked that the Kings are playing for the Stanley cup.  First time since 1993 if you didn't know. And by we, I really mean Braden. I'm really just happy for him. Like I said, wife of the year, right? I made yummy mexican for Braden to enjoy while watching game 1 and then took the girls out so he could watch without distraction. No promises that will happen the whole series, but I'll try. Go Kings!

We had a great time at the Long Beach aquarium with our tot lotters this week. We love these darling outfits we got from Nana. Clearance from costco, I beleive. $6.80, you can't beat that!

Miss Brighton got pink eye today. I'm assuming from the aquarium since the entire LA county school district was there... She came in telling me her eye hurt. I took a 2 second look and we rushed right over to Urgent Care for a prescription. I asked her if I should take a picture of her sick eye, and this is the face she gave me. Hand on her cheek and all.

Bossy playing in nursery. She loves outside time, and they have the funnest toys!

We got some fun crayola bath tints for Bossy's bday. (Thanks Stacy!) 

Made one of my favorite cakes and it turned out beautiful. Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Cake. Delish.

We went for walks and stopped to look at each and every ant along the way. Both of my girls are obsessed with ants!

I tried out a center part. I kind of like it. I feel like it's SO different, but really it's like a 1/2 inch over from my normal part. I know, crazy changes over here! I really need to cut my hair... I dipped it in guacamole tonight. Gross.

I give my piano students up to 5 points, each week, based on their practicing, attitude and whether they were on time to lessons or not. We have a group lesson where they come together, we have a mini recital for each other, eat pizza, play musical games and then they get to cash in their points for fun stuff... I was actually worried I wasn't going to have enough. Those little piggy banks from the 99 cent store were a huge hit.

Miss bossy ran a 102 degree fever for one night and has been fine ever since. Who knows what it was...We had a slumber party on the couch. Even though I was dead tired, I secretly loved it.

After a morning at chick-fil-a (you're right mom, a week without chick is just not accurate), we went to leave and found this lovely semi right behind us. Ummmm....

And last, we had our year end party for the moms at Tot Lot tonight. They do an awesome raffle every year, and I mean awesome: TV, iPad, Nikon, Bluray, Dodgers, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Ruth's Chris, Projector, Beach Cruiser, Printer, Bed and Breakfast, Pedicures, etc., just to name a tiny fraction of the things they gave away.  I went home with 2 awesome tickets to the La Mirada theater, and 4 tickets to the OC Museum of Arts. It was such a blast! Not to mention a yummy dinner at Acapulco with fun friends!

Haven't jumped on the insta-wagon? Just do it! You won't regret it! (I'm jodeehc) And Life Rearranged just shared an awesome website where you can get prints of all of your insta pics AND she got everyone a discount code to use for the next couple of days! Click on the picture below for details.

September in Pictures

Just a quick run down of things we did in September.

 Lots of playing together.

Playing in the rain.

My van got backed into. Yes, another accident. Go ahead, make jokes. The girl was driving her boyfriends car. She didn't want her mom to find out, so they paid us cash instead of going through insurance. I'm pretty sure I took their whole life savings, including a dollar coin. Funny story.  I met the boyfriend at a park where I was having a meeting Tot Lot so that he could give me the money.  It totally looked like a drug deal with this skater kid handing me a envelope full of cash. I quickly counted it, pocketed it, and departed. Oops!

Brighton had her first field trip (she's not in the picture, she was way too scared). But they had Prehistoric Pets come and show the kids a bunch of snakes, turtles, frogs, etc. It was fun, and Boston even got to come. 

We had our first family movie theater experience. We saw The Lion King. Boston was in awe. She sat through 90% of it. A quick walk up and down the stairs and then she ate fruit snacks on my lap until the end.

We've entered the awkward smile phase.

These girls love baths. Boston is a fish. She loves to lay down, and then flip over (almost drowning herself) and then sit up and repeat.

A VERY rare picture. After lunch at Chick Fil A and then the Aquarium with an old friend.

Movie night in mommies bed. I've been waiting for these evenings for a long time. So much fun.

Play dates with our bestie Adalie.

Bachelorette GNO with Kristy and the other sister-in-laws. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of Darrel and Kristy's wedding!

This munchkin does not leave home without her blankie and baba.She is 100% hooked.

I don't really let her drag it all over, but she tries!

 **HOLD UP** Is she sleeping? On the floor? Not in a bed? YES she is! (I think I heard angels singing when I saw this). This is the first, I repeat first time Brighton has ever fallen asleep around the house. As Braden and I were starring at her he says, "We finally have a normal child".

The only picture I somehow took while at the aquarium.

And last, we got a few cute and sassy outfits from Nana and Grandma.  Thank you!
