Book Club

So it was my friend Kristen's turn to host book club and she chose the book 'The Graveyard Book' by Dave McKean. Look how CUTE our dessert was!!! Totally worth reading the book just to eat it!!! I have such clever friends.....
BTW...The book is SOOOO good:) You must read!!!

Sea-Life Aquarium & Legoland

We are so lucky to live in San Diego where there are so many fun things to do! We live about 4 miles from legoland but don't go very often, so this was a big treat for the kids! We did the aquarium first (not worth the $$, good thing we had free tickets!) and then it was off to legoland! Mia is finally big enough to ride all the rides there so it was really fun getting to experience that with her. We also did the 'Brick or Treat' which they do every Saturday in October. The whole place is decorated for Halloween and it really kicked off the season in a fun way:) I love FALL!!

Extraordinary Desserts!

Never one to pass up an opportunity to celebrate! My friend Kiersten (the one sitting next to me in the blue dress) got a book (Paranormalcy-Coming Aug '10) PUBLISHED (a three book deal, as a matter of fact) and I could think of only one place that was worthy of such an honor!
The only down side of the evening was the part where I asked for a Diet Coke, and they informed me they do not serve said beverage in their establishment....So we promptly hit up the Sevie Elevie next door and got our fix! Thanks Kathy for always being my wingman!

First Day of School!

Summer is officially OVER:( Max started second grade and Mia started KINDERGARTEN!!! I think both of them had a really good first day of school. Although, when asked how her first day of school was, Mia replied, "I REALLY, REALLY don't want to talk about it!".
Alrighty then.
Here's to a fabulous '09-'10 School year!
