A fresh break

Today starts our first official school spring break. I used to love spring break as a kid- and I am even more excited about it as an adult- and Mom!
Linden is at Happy Hallow zoo and Park with some friends today- so we are off to a good start!
I woke up this morning to a Peet's soy latte on my nightstand! Brett ran to get beans this am and brought me a wake up gift!!;) I think there is some serious octain in Peet's! I love it- this morning, I have allready gone to Target with Thatcher, cleaned and dissinfected the garbage can, paid bills, showered ( that's huge!), and packed for Tahoe!! Wow- love Peets!
Here's my new bedside table lampshade. I love how something so simple has such an impact!






I kinda feel like I am on a Parisian Vacation!!

He's turning into a great sleeper- like his big sister!!



All ready for Church! Nana and Papa sent some cute spring dresses for Linden- thanks!!!



No church for Thatcher- he naps from 10-12!!

Linden's new secrect room

We put a crib matress on the floor in Linden's closet- she loves it in there! It's like a secrect room because there is her bar of clothes and then it is behind there- so you have to peek through the clothes and squeeze in!
Here is Brett making an attempt to read in there at bedtime!









Brett's feet hanging out of the hiding space!! It's too cute!
Gotta love the utilization of space!!!

The Screamer

So there was a meeting over coffee with the superindendant of Menlo Park schools this morning at our neighborhood cafe. I, very hesitantly, took Thatcher to the meeting thinking I could occupy him while I listened to what the Superindendant had to say. I was the only one with a child there- that was the first sign! And Thatcher was fine until about 10 minutes into it- he wanted out of the stroller. "Okay, I will take you out and hold you, if you'll be quiet", I thought.
Nope- he was squaking and mumbling and making grunting noises like we came from the zoo or something! I ammused the noise for all I could and then started pulling baby items from my reserve- the bouncing deer, the squeeky panda, a spoon, my keys, the coffee insulator from my drink, I was running out of things when Thatcher proceeded to spit up all down my right leg and INTO my shoe! Nice shot little guy. When a mom next to me gasped, I knew I had to exit. Spit up sliding downto my toes through my Boden loafers, wow!! It was embarassing and I now know that I will not be serving on the PTO board anytime soon!
Please be a phase Thatcher- I am not sure how to function with a cute little monkey- boy to apologize for all day!



It's a good thing he's so darn cute!


This is not at the meeting, but you get the idea what his scream sounds like.....

Lunch with the girls

Linden and I went out to Danville today- where the Casey's moved. It was great to see them again- it's been too long! I could not believe how BIG Kendall was!! Omg- We went downtown Danville and walked around and had lunch. We miss them! Linden wanted to know if Avery could meet us at a merry-go-round next time!!;)

Bathroom redo

Before:







After:








While we ( I mean Laura) has been working on changing up the bathroom- Linden kept saying, "Nana's going to love her new bathroom!" Since when she is here, she uses that bathroom. ;)
It's been a nice change from that old getto mirror that was there when we bought the house. I drywalled, wallpapered and worked on the bathroom while the kids napped. I kept txting Brett telling him that I was Superwoman. It looks so clean and fresh- I like it!!!


And Thatcher likes it too!
