5 boys for breakfast

what a treat to meet up with a friend from NorCal that i haven't seen in 20 years! we went to the same high school and ran track together back in the days! we met up this morning to have breakfast together before their drive home. it was my 2 boys+his 3 boys. that ='d FUN! the boys got along just great, playing with all their ultraman figures and monsters. (just look at the table covered with all their figures!) thanks for a great breakfast jonathan!! your family is just lovely!we cooled off a little today in the mini pool.

busy making tooth fairy pillows. this one is my 4th one AND i made some moolah! the mom asked for it to be in these colors. this may be my side job! i am finishing up 1 right now for a special girl.

backside to put the tooth in the smaller pocket and a dollar bill or mini toy in the bigger heart pocket.these sunflowers were ginormous! these were at the farmer's market we went to saturday. was going to buy them until i saw a billion ants on the backside. i DO NOT need those in my house!love the summer cropsstopping to smell the flowers except he doesn't know these don't smell!yum!

bryan's mouth was never empty at the farmer's market. fresh fruit samples galore! a tip: you can actually have a light breakfast at a good farmer's market. LOL!

happy friday

things are slowing down a bit for us here now that t-ball is over. we would have 2 games a week (1 on an evening night & another on the weekend) . plus throw in swim lessons wednesday evenings.......... isn't that a sweet picture of the boys (above)?! love when they are so 'brotherly'!!
more pics of brandon's last 2 t-ball games later. coach tim was great and brandon had fun, learned a lot and still needs to learn a little more. we lucked out being on his team---coach tim's wife is a professional photographer and she took some great shots of the boys through out the season.
here's bryan on one of the mornings when we just hang out and do nothing. he's growing up so fast and really having the terrible 3's attitude! i know---hard to believe with his sweet little face.


had some time to squeeze in some crafty time. who doesn't love cupcakes?! really, i don't know anybody who detest this yummy goodness. feel free to LMK your fave cupcake shop & flavor. i love sprinkles and their chocolate marshmallow flavor!

i was requested by 2 mom friends to make tooth fairy pillows for their boys. i made smaller versions of brandon's pillow. i gave it to them last week. good thing too because on wednesday, one of the boys lost his 1st tooth on our way to the playground afterschool. yes, i took brandon, bryan, AND 2 other boys to the playground by myself. [giving myself a pat on the back]

still need to practice...

does anybody need a toothfairy pillow? ;)

there was a donuts with mom day at brandon's school. that's what all the kids needed were sugary donuts in the morning right before class! btw, that is his friend who just lost his tooth.

happy friday and have a good weekend!

tooth fairy pillow

well, that day has come.....brandon has lost his 1st tooth! here is the tooth fairy pillow i made for him. rather simple and my 1st one. so easy too. i think i overstuffed it though!

heart pockets in the back. smaller one for the tooth and the larger one for $$!i wanted to pull it out before we left for vaca and it was so so loose. brandon was so brave and didn't even cry. he actually pulled it out himself! i was just there for moral support and some hugs & hand holding!

he wanted to make sure i took a pic with him...this was at midnight right after the tooth was pulled (and the bleeding stopped).

i held off showing him his pillow til "it" happened. you should've seen this boy when i handed him his pillow! he was SO happy and so proud. he hugged to to sleep! that's my boy---all growns up! thanks to all my family & friends & bloggie friends who sent me cards and presents! i got some real cool stuff and you all are so thoughtful. thank yous later when i get back!
