Highlights from the week

This was a fun and busy week. On Monday, on our morning walk we discovered some neighbors that are also home schooling! (also three girls! but older--6, 10 &14) They had been making mushroms out of some wood pieces they had bought so they gave us some to make one each. We glued them togehter and painted them. I thought they came out pretty cute.








Monday night was Jennelle's birthday dinner at President Thai where we had a wonderful time eating and celebrating. Happy Birthday Jennelle!!













Tuesday was a really fun park day but I didn't get any pictures. We saw lots of old friends and our new friends/neighbors came too!

On Wednesday, Bella and Lala started their new Armory art classes. While they are in their classes, I do our weekly grocery shopping at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods which is so nice because they are very close to the Armory. This week Ed Begley Jr. happened to be at Whole Foods signing his book so Ceci got to meet him! She actually wasn't too thrilled. :( The girls, however, were totally THRILLED to start their new art classes! Bella is taking another drama class with her same wonderful teacher and Lala is taking "Let's have a parade" where they will be making costumes and other parade paraphernalia and then have a parade on the last day of class!


















On Thursday we (of course!) went to the Farmer's Market. We went with Brieanne and had a wonderful time. It was a little bittersweet because Brieanne is getting ready to move to Lake Elsinore and this will be one of the last times we get to go to the Farmer's Market together.

















Thursday night some of us girls in my ward took our friend Karla out to dinner for a baby shower. Karla had a beautiful baby girl in October, Mia, but she came very early (before we could do anything!) so we waited until now to celebrate. Karla is the gorgeous one in the hat. Our fellow ward member made this wonderful cake! We all had a really nice time.
