Tomatoes For Sale!

Aubrey and Sydney love trying to sell things. They pretty much jump at any chance to set up shop.
On this day it was garden-fresh tomatoes. They made signage and had Uncle John staple it up for them. They also decided to add glasses of water to their merchandise.

Here they are eagerly awaiting the first customer.

As good of saleswomen as they are though.........

they may need to work on the overall cleanliness and presentation of the stand.

Fairy Fest

Back in June my mom took my sister and I with our girls out for a very female outing. We went to a town called Alpine that's just outside of San Diego to a really beautiful nursery. It's called Summers Past Farms I believe. Each spring they hold a fairy festival where the whole place is filled with little girls (and a few poor daughterless moms that dressed up their sons) dressed like fairies. There was a fairy parade where we all lined up and fluttered through the gardens and checked out the other costumes. There were some very elaborate ones and a few scaryish gothic style outfits. It was a great place to people watch, for sure!  We packed a picnic, sat in the shade and enjoyed all the flowers growing everywhere. It was a great spot for some photo shoots. There was also a contest that we didn't participate in to build a "fairy garden" and bring to display. They were really cute. We had such a nice girly day.

Our girls were probably the brightest fairies there

This was a cute Japanese fairy garden :) It's hard to see all the tiny details.

Where's Daddy?

Not to sound weak, needy, mushy or pathetic, but I miss this guy. Not the one with fluffy white hair.....he's in my face all day. My husband. I've barely seen him in the past 2 weeks.
Summer's over. Party's over. He's back to work and the beginning of the school year is wild busy for teachers. Especially really anal ones that have to have every little detail planned and organized before the kids come to class. I'm married to one of those so he's been "preparing"  like crazy and the kids started this monday. He's been consumed, but we'll all survive. Things will calm down soon.

I'm not the only one that misses him though. Every morning Isaac asks "hey, where's Daddy?"
He doesn't quite understand yet.  Poor guy :)
