BalancedMom: A Day In The Life

Kool Kiddos

I'm sure most people think their kids are the most amazing, but I'm POSITIVE mine are! Just check these out:

That's our Zippy Zoe-She's SUCH a GREAT baby! She's ALWAYS up for a party, an adventure, and a giggle-or just chillin in the high chair with your baba and Sister's High School Musical disc! LOVE that girl!

This is our Claire about to kiss a Banana Slug. I took my Brownie Troop on a 'Beach Bash Campout' (yes, it DID rain, thank you very much) last weekend in the San Mateo mountains. The area is crawling with these slugs and there's a tradition that you MUST kiss one to be in the Banana Slug Club-and of course you'd want to be, right?-so Claire got right in there! She's SUCH a great friend to everyone and has quite an infectious laugh!

Claire wanted to be Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz for Halloween-when we found this little costume at Target, she INSISTED that Zoe be that too. Aren't they just The Cutest?!





Now, Gus---a.k.a. The Gussinator---is our Wild Child! While he didn't do much for his first year of life, once he hit 1, he climbed up to the tallest point he could reach and jumped off and hasn't stopped since. He LOVES to read-especially Capt'n Underpants-, tell knock-knock jokes, and play Gameboy. He's funny, creative, impatient, and FULL OF LIFE!

He, of course, was an alien for Halloween and had a speaking part in the Thanksgiving Play-Turkey's Go On Strike.

This kid SERIOUSLY cracks me up!!!

The other day, coming back from a day trip to Monterey to see our GREAT friends Auntie Sonja and Mitch, he blurts out-OUT OF THE BLUE, FROM THE BACK OF THE VAN, WHILE I'M DRIVING-"Mom! I need a glass jar, some ping-pong balls, and a roll of duct tape-right now!"
The other morning, I had the kids cleaning their room while I was making some calls and he bursts into my office:
him: Mom, remember when you gave Claire and me hot cocoa in bed?
me: yes?.....
him: I forgot to give you the cup back-here you go~

Can YOU say 'Penicillian In A Cup'?! Yup, that's mold~nice!!!


And, for today, I finish with this:
It's Sunday morning-kids are playing Monoply at the table, Zoe is teaching Daddy how to read in Spanish, house is filled with the scent of the 14 banana breads we made yesterday mixed with essence of dog, diapers, daily activities, and I can't wait to announce our big trip to Costco today-they HATE this and you'll be able to hear their wailing and complaining from wherever on this great planet you currently are.
Just another Day In The Life~
