Happy Happy One Thousandth post!!

I can't believe it! I am expecting balloons and confetti to fall from the ceiling. To mark this literary occasion, here's some photos from our labor day weekend. We spent most of our time at home enjoying our little air conditioned bungalow *it was over 100 degrees this weekend!*.

I can't believe I've lived in this house for almost 8 years and this is the first photo of me sitting on my porch

And of course Olivia is trying to make me laugh!

Liv is loving her new ballet and hip hop class!

She's one of the youngest in the class but still taller.

Her teacher Anna Maria is so RAD! Liv is so much more focused and follows the choreography so well.

The class begins a half hour later now, so I get to sleep in a bit later, Yay!

 Here's a funny video of Liv dancing hip hop

Antz and I made a "lady rainicorn" piñata for Liv. 

Liv helped out too

It was simple to make, but tedious

Super cute, huh? We won't break this guy.

We totally copied the design from Whack Piñataria. She is a piñata-making GENUIS!

This has become a disturbing, major addiction in our house.

Candy Fucking Crush!!

If we are friends on Facebook, please send me some lives. I've been stuck on this level for weeks!

Summer seems to always fly by in a blink of an eye. Despite the unbearable heat, I love the long sunny days, less traffic and tons of fun things to do. I didn't finish everything on my summer bucket list but I can always extend it into September.
