Sharing Easter

Ahhh the joy.

5th Birthday Eggstravaganza

Fiona and her cupcakes in her party dress as the song was sung.

So if you are reading this and have yet to plan a kid birthday fest at the park on a weekend morning...don't try to stay out and party like a *rockstar* the night before...it makes the morning a bit bumpy.

Fiona woke up at 5:30 0r 6:00. It was hard to tell exactly what time it really was as neither of us could face the clock. It was still dark...she asked "is it true...am I five!?!" and thus our day had begun.

The boxes of parkbound supplies were ready and waiting so it was fairly easy given the state of things here to get to the park and set up by 10...here are devon and fiona preparty swinging.

In all there were about 14 kids, I never really got a headcount and suppose if I backtrack and look at the goody-bag debris I would be able to figure it out with math but that is a bit past me now. I imagine there are some very tired and over-sugared kids about.

We decorated lots of eggs as planned and ate cupcakes with abandon there were no majour injuries and it didn't rain. YAY!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.
Love always,
One victorious and tired mum. Louise

Fiona and Lua at the end.

Parade and Post

Fiona was lucky enough to get to ride a horse in a parade in Pacific Grove Last weekend. It was the same horse that she rides sometimes in Carmel Valley with friends. Anyway, she of course was over the moon with the horse part of things. The entry in the parade was about sustainability and the horse has the "Green Biofuel" Bumper Sticker to play the part...here we are after the parade..
...and here is fiona in another sustainable driving situation; Four dining chairs as seats and a stool for steering:
Here's to taking care of the earth.
