On Friday, the 1st grade had "scarecrow day". So I took a pair of James old jeans that were a size too small and glued raffia all around the bottom, ironed some patches on the knees, put him in a plaid shirt and sent him off too school. They got their faces painted at school and had a really fun time. Of course, he couldn't make it easy by being a scarecrow for
Halloween... because "that is so LAME, mom." He wanted to be Dracula.
I had this idea that Sarah would be a flower fairy and then ... life was too busy! So she ended up being our island princess. She had a cute flower
lei around her head, but it didn't stay on long now that she has discovered how to pull headbands off. Check out the pics! The first picture is my sister, Brooke, and Sarah. The next picture is my sister, Haleigh, and James.
Ok. So, to catch you up on my birthday extravaganza: My husband is the bomb! Chris got tickets to Wicked for my birthday! So we woke up, went to Chuck's for breakfast (mmmm), stopped at the Carter's outlet in Tracy to buy cute baby clothes before getting to the BART station. I have to say that Chris said not one "hurry up, dear" or "aren't you ready yet" or anything (it truly felt like MY day). We rode BART to San Francisco and shopped around Union Square are the Westfield Mall. We had a nice lunch and walked around some more before heading to the show. We both loved Wicked, but the best part of the day was just being able to spend time together. It was a perfect day. Next year, my birthday will be 10/10/10. That means BIG party time. My Aunt Heidi (who has my same birthday) suggested we take a cruise! I love the idea! Who's on board?
