You Should be Careful

Yesterday was Scott's birthday. As I was frosting the cake, I was asking Scott if he wanted all 34 candles, or not. He said having that many would be a ridiculous & when you get old like that, is is a dangerous fire hazard to put all the candles on the cake. Gillian gave us a serious warning, "You have to be very ceerful (careful) of old." Okay. We'll be careful about getting old.

When I lit the candles she started singing the birthday song all by herself. Then, she stopped short, in order to get to blow the candles out before dad did it. She got them all, in only a few tries. (All 12, not 34!)

Peyton took a few of the candles and set them up in his own slice & sang the birthday song again. He kept singing for quite a while, before deciding to have any of his cake.

Gillian is a lover of white food. She likes butter, sour cream, ranch, whipping cream, frosting, etc. (generally the fat food category). She just calls all these thing "white". As she was eating her frosting off of all her cake, she asks, "Why is this white so hungy for me?!" I guess it knows you need it? I don't know? Good question.

Quadrilla Man

My husband has turned into a Quadrilla man. He is totally into it. He likes to play it almost every evening. And, the kids like it pretty well, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just Because...

...I thought the colors were fabulous.

Here's the local tree the persimmons came from.

Gifts

These are little gifts for a couple of friends. I hope they last a good while. The only "fresh" flower item is the Kangaroo Paw. But, those are extremely hardy. So, hopefully it will power past Thanksgiving.

Whites at Highland

This wedding at Highland Park in Ben Lomond, Ca was full of white Hydrangeas.

Bride Cristina & Groom Clay look pretty happy!




I loved the ceremony pieces.

Corsages & a boutonniere

Bridal bouquet - Hydrangeas & Cymbidiums

Sweetheart's table - Hydrangeas, Lisianthus, Phaleanopsis.

I love these guest tables.

Before I left, I got to try some of the great wedding food done by Kimberly's Catering. WOW! Yummy ribs & soup. And those were only appetizers.

That was Full

I picked up flowers for Saturday's wedding this morning. The curly willow was 5 feet tall! It was a challenge to fit it all in my Yukon XL. I was quite proud of my achievement. I put the 3 kids back in the car.
Then I realized I had a double stroller that now needed to fit in the car, too, Without damaging the flowers. AH!
I am so glad our Maclaren Twin Triumph is so compact! I got it under the kids' feet. Barely.

My little guy got pretty worn out from the whole ordeal.

Bed Head

Peyton woke up with the greatest bed hair the other day. I was so crazy about it. It was so cute. Some folks always get bed head. But, this was the first time I've seen my son like this. So, I had to take pictures.

Speaking of Peyton & of beds, he moved out of his crib, into a little big kid bed yesterday. It is going fairly well! Nap times have been a little bit of a struggle. But, bed time went so smoothly last night. It was amazing. Our little guy is growing up pretty fast.
