Phoenix is a nightmare in the summer.
NIGHT. MARE.
So as soon as the weather dips below 90* we spend entire days outside.
It is my idea of heaven.
Fall is heaven.
The trees are full, meals outside are a MUST, the grass is SO green & soft, our garden is growing pea pods (a MUST around here since the kids love them) romaine lettuce, spinach & heirloom tomatoes.
There are birds singing and butterflies everywhere this year
and having the windows open to let in the breeze & being able to bake without sweating is soooo nice!
We decorated cookies with every intention of sharing some with the neighbors & Kali's teacher BUT they were so good they did not last long around here :)
The past few days have been BUSY preparing for our annual Halloween Party.
Kai is still trying to decide which of his 10 costumes he will wear, poor kid has a hard life.
Kali is trying to talk me into letting her dress like a "dead" cheerleader instead of a living one.
Oh and today she had fall school pictures. I got her all dressed up and she was not happy with her shoes but I said oh it won't matter because it's only your chest up. She said, "oh no, NOT headshots, I wanted full body because I was going to do a fabulous pose". ha! She will have to save her fancy pose for dance pictures :)
