Mostly Wordless Wednesday...The Writings on the Wall

Hubby and I landed at a quaint little shop in Solvang

on our weekend adventure up the Central Coast

I walked into this craft store and fell in love

with the writings on the wall...

Mostly Wordless Wednesday...Zoolander

I packed a bunch of sandwiches in the cooler

and loaded the family up in the car

for a trip to the famous LA Zoo

(and could you believe ALL the kids were excited to go?!)

Flamingos are always the first thing you see
A real life dragon, better watch your toes, heard they eat 'em
Gorilla steps

This was magical

The whole gorilla family past by one by one

then the big Daddy of the family planted himself in the middle of the grounds

looked like he was there for protection

just amazing

Zebras, of course

Cute safari outfit

Do you know their tongues grow up to 18 inches long?

Pictures through the gates are hard to see,

so here's the sign

Inspired my monkeys to take care of each other

Nice view...

Because you don't get to climb on top of a gorilla often Monkey- see

Mostly Wordless Wednesday...Tea Party!

Once upon a time this little cutie turned 5

Her Mommy threw her the most gorgeous tea party

She invited all her family and friends and told them to dress in their most stylish digs

even Moms and Dads got to join in on the fun

the kids jumped and screamed
and drank sherbet punch...mmmm
then they got to decorate the cake themselves before digging in!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday...Edward vs Jacob

His middle name is Edward
we sometimes refer to him as Edward Cullen
(2 teenage sisters,remember?!)

His homework assignment-
draw a picture of yourself
This is him when he's being Edward Cullen
Yesterday when I dropped him off at school,
his teacher said, Good morning Jacob (which is not his name)
he grabbed a hold of my pantleg and hid behind it,
as he peeked out his teacher proceeded to tell me -
the day before, The Boy was Jacob.
He told her that I changed his name (whoops guess I shouldn't have joked about that)
She had to write Jacob on all his papers and refer to him that way all day.

Monstly Wordless Wednesday...Sandwich Monster

I've created a Monster
4 Monsters to be exact.

I used to yell, scream, huff, and puff all morning long
at the kids to get ready on time
and pick something out for breakfast
If we got in the car and they grabbed candy, fruit snacks, or didn't get anything at all,
I'd be angry with them, well, because, it's brain food!

I'd drive off from their school feeling all guilty,
picturing them there hungry in their classroom,
their little sad deprived faces,
rubbing their little tummies
waiting for the lunch bell to ring.
Dramatic, I know.

They'd come home from school
and talk about how their friends shared their watermelon,
sandwiches, chips, cookies.
Just stabbing my heart with each little word.
Blah, blah, blah, so and so's mom is so much better than you...she makes her kids food...blah, blah, blah...
(of course that's not what they said, but that's what I heard!!)

Then all of a sudden a light bulb went off in my head,
Ummm...hello! Mom, make your kids some food!

And thus, the monsters were born.

Hubby heard the monsters in the making
and now he's become one too.
He usually leaves early, so sometimes I don't get to his in time...
Mustard (and I put a little mayo, because seriously a sandwich without mayo, is just unthinkable!), jalapeno munster cheese, and ham







PB & J
because it was Wed. and the 1st time he received sandwiches for the week.











Mayonaise, colby cheddar cheese, and ham










She used to like PB&J until she accidently got her sister's ham.
She was amazed at the ham sandwich skills her mother possesed.
So now she gets extra mayo, mustard, no cheese, (she prefers pastrami(monster's i told you)
but will settle for ham if that's all we have!








PB & J, just like his daddy's.










Guess that wasn't very wordless...
Happy Wednesday, may your bellies be full, and your hearts happy!

Mostly Wordless Wednesdays...Cuts by Cousin

Haaahhaaaahaaaaa

he's cracking up hilariously as he walks down the stairs

Kaia cut my hair

Hahahahahaaaaaa...he continues

We all turn and look at him

and the pieces of hair in his hand

It takes a minute to register...

She cut his hair!

A little from the middle

and a little from the front!

I ask,What did your Cousin say, can I cut your hair?

He nods, she said Sir

and I said SURE, he quickly replies with a big smile.

It's a good thing he just got a new hat!
