Clownin' around
For the last couple of weeks, Janie has been enjoying her new art class at the community center. (Thanks Grandma!)
Here she is showing off her creations from circus week:
She has a blast with all the cool, messy art supplies. And I've been inspired to find new artsy stuff for us to do at home. Our latest adventure: glue!
P.S. I edited this photo at picnik.com - a really fun site with lots of cool tools and effects. One of my favorite effects is 1960s - so fun!

Mill Street Mamas
Last week, Janie and I took a little road trip to my favorite place in the world - the central California coast - to visit some of my favorite people in the world - my college roommates!
You know what I love? Even though its been forever since we've seen each other, we when do get together its like no time has passed at all.
On Wednesday night we all met at Happy's house for a BBQ. All the kiddos and a couple of husbands were there for the fun.
We spent Thursday at Avila beach. It was sunny and sandy and wonderful. But you'll just have to take my word for it - we were having so much fun that I forgot to pull out my camera!
Thursday night we headed to downtown SLO for some girl time. We enjoyed watching all the people at Farmer's Market and some yummy food.
I love these gals!

Put me in the zoo
One morning last week, Janie and I were feeling spontaneous and decided to visit the zoo. It was lots of fun!
The zoo we normally like to visit has had a little problem lately with tigers escaping and killing people, so we opted to try some place new.
Highlights:
- Elephants! They were graceful and gorgeous and not nearly as ginormous as I expected them to be.
- Bears! There was one little bear who spent all day walking around and around in a circle. I actually felt a little bad for the bear, but Janie thought this was the most hilarious thing and laughed loudly and then louder still.
- Carnival rides! Directly adjacent to the zoo is a small carnival & ride area with a carousel, roller coaster and several of those little rides with cars and trucks that go around and around and around. It was at the zoo that Janie discovered a deep and profound love for the around and around car rides. She did her loud happy laugh, followed by lots of exclamations.... "Woohoo! I'm driving! Look at me!"
Lowlights:
- Getting lost. Twice. Sigh.
- Hills. I almost wore my new summer shoes for our zoo adventure and I was so glad that I decided against it.
