We are doing our first Saturday morning “thing” – soccer.
I have successfully defended my weekends until now. Let’s see how the Sat. morning commitment goes.
It’s Soccer Kids at 11 at Rossi, with Trevor. Sitting with Shelly in the sunshine was pretty nice…
I am diving into a new website, full of eye candy and inspiration. Its called pinterest.com.
Users create photo bookmarks of things they love, and organize them on inspiration “boards”.
You can post things you have, or find, or you can re-post from others’ boards.
Here are a couple of screen shots of my boards (click to see larger):

The site isn’t without problems. It has lots of functionality bugs – probably due to growing pains. And, it relies on people to credit the right sources (which they don’t – at least not reliably). Actually, it’s bit of an attribution nightmare.
On the plus side, it’s socially networked (which makes it fun), and there isn’t any ugly advertising. It’s a great idea – collections upon collections of beautiful things.
On the way home from school, Oscar and I were discussing whether it was too early to begin planning his 6th birthday party. He was Pro, I was Con. We realized that Oscar just turned 5 and a half! I asked if he wanted to celebrate it. He did. So we did. (Lets just say that I half-assed it! :))
What can I say? It went well!
Dr. David Rothman, DDS has a new address on Ocean.
The play area in the waiting room.
Big brother goes first.
Lucy looked so mini in the chair!
Oscar was kind of excited to get X-rays.
The Treasure Chest
Some, but not nearly all, of the loot we brought home.
The Sofa continues to be the best light in the house – and coincidentally, a fun place to lounge and be cute. When the kids grow up, I fear they might ask me if they ever left the sofa!
Not many photos get taken at wine & cheese Fridays…
These ones are just a couple of snaps taken in moments of tipsy happiness!
Probably my mental dialogue ran something like this:
“Ooh, aren’t out kids cute when they play so nicely together downstairs out of sight”
and, “Ooh, isn’t this wine delicious! I’ll need to remember this and get it again!”
