Rangers to the World Series!

I sure do love to hear some Old School Pat Green as the Rangers head to the World Series!

Rangers fan

I thought it would be fun for the kids to stay up for the game...he's super excited!

Dinner

I co-hosted a friends birthday party and had left over Joe T's...mmmm! Guess what the kids wanted...sad, sad, sad!

Huge Tiny Sandwiches

OK, this doesn't look nearly as great as it tasted! I am unfortunately not as good a photographer as I am a cook.  So, that is not a normal sized plate...it is a saucer. I found some tiny whole grain bread and thought they would make the cutest grilled cheeses. Well, I could not restrain myself and they soon morphed into smoked mozzarella, garlic butter, pesto, basil, tomato, goat cheese, bacon, avocado and jalapeno sandwiches...I'm not kidding. All that in a 2"x2" space. Verdict...They were cute and awesome!

Last Picture Post

I guess I wasn't very clear in that last post! I found this cool app on my phone that allows you to immediately post photos on your blog, Facebook, or a myriad of other things I am not smart enough to know about.

Anyway, I had the very exciting opportunity to be invited to fashion week in NYC a couple of weeks ago. It was very exciting but as you can tell by the photo, by the last day I had to shuck the heels! I tried to hang with the big girls but, alas, I did not make it. It didn't diminish my experience one bit. In fact, in the end, I felt a little more like myself... instead of the version of me I was playing while I was there.

Settling In...

Well, I am officially old...in my estimation, anyway. I have a first grader, I can no longer pretend that he is  baby anymore. I think that exercise is getting embarrassing for both of us! He is loving school and is already off to a great start. So is Rainey, she just started at a new school and loves it.

The first week of school was amazingly busy with a birthday party every night of the week. We were all exhausted by the end of the week. After one of the parties Rainey announced that she would be 5 on her next birthday.  I took issue with that statement because I would like for her to stay 4 for...ever! Anyway, she said, "Mom, I have to keep growing." OK, ok, she has a point.

So I say to the kids that I sometimes wish I were a kid again.

To which, she responds, "Mom, don't be sad you have a mom and a dad, you are a kid!"
I love that kid! She may be younger than I am, but I am figuring out that she may be wiser. I am in big trouble.

Happy September!

I want a hairless cat!
