Gigi or Jordan Swinging in Boca (both 5 months old)?

Early morning gym class

Pretending Gigi

Gigi: (pointing to her PJ top that says "Puppy Love")...Mama, my shirt says "I love Mama"

Mama: Oh I wish it did. You don't have any PJs that say "I love Mama"

Gigi: Let's just pretend that's what it says.

This weekend...

was mostly about getting plants for Eliza's garden....but we did go to the CD release party for Moo Moo Musica last night and out to dinner with friends. Above is a picture of everyone but me at the party....I was off dancing and wouldn't come over for the picture.

And below, Jordan and I are "helping" mama place the plants in the garden. I was drawing and Jordan was jumping (Daddy was working).

Last stop for the weekend was the duck park. I was asleep by 5:30....really tired from all the plant shopping (oh, and I have a cold).

Eliza's Garden

Today, we went to the garden store (Mama called it a "nursery") to get plants for Eliza's garden. Below are two of the grasses we bought (Milla grass which has white flowers when they bloom and the bottom grass is a replacement for "charmed wine" that was no longer available). We also got 17 Greek lavenders. When we were walking home tonight from Abbot Kinney, you could smell the lavender coming from our yard from 4 houses away! Now, all we need to do is get the roses, which is a challenge, because the nursery we went to today didn't have them because they are "out of season".

Voting Last Week

Swinging with my Jordan

This week, I was home with Jordan and Nanny G on Thursday and Friday (teachers had conferences). I loved spending time with them (and with my friends, Nyla and Lyla). Here we are at the park (I call it "Shamu Park") swinging on the swing.

Halloween Pictures

Jordan was a peapod (for a minute, he didn't like the costume) and I was Ariel. Daddy was Ariel's Daddy :)

Our almost complete new driveway....just needs the pebbles.

Gigi or Jordan?

Mar Vista Farmers Market Halloween Festival

This morning, the whole family took a bath (Jordan was having a great time!) and then we headed to the Mar Vista Farmers Market. Jordan was a little sad, so I reached out to hold his hand and he stopped crying. We met my friend, Gemma....had our faces painted and danced to some music by Birdy.

Halloween Party at School

On Saturday morning, we had mystery guests! Zoe and Lucy stayed over because they are moving (boo hoo) down the street and their new place was just painted. We had to decorate cookies early and get to school for our Halloween party.

Here are some pictures of the party. As usual, I had a blast. I was even able to climb around the tree house with my Ariel costume on.

These are some YUMMY "healthy" cupcakes from Akasha. And they look great, too.

Jordan eating his "mac n cheese".

Mama's Last Day Home

Today was Mama's last day home. On Monday, she goes back to work every day. The good news though is that she drops me off and picks me up from school! We went to the beach park with Nyla and Angelica.

At night, I put my babies to sleep....
