On Tuesday, the children & I went to one of our many local farmer's
markets. No real agenda, just wandered around, trying to get inspired
for dinner. We ended up with this:
Chris has been walking around with the black lung, so I decided Chicken Noodle Soup would be easy enough (and a great way to use some of that canned chicken!) We nibbled on a delicious blueberry muffin and left with a token squash & pumpkin, picked out by yours truly:
It feels like things are starting to slow down. It's a much-needed slow down, too. All the loose ends are finally getting tied up and the weight is being lifted. I've got Christmas on the brain and am vowing to keep these next 2 months very low key. I want to make sure there's time to do everything I want to do. Baking, crafting, Christmas-making. I want to make a spring dress for Kate, jammies for Henry (it's tradition) and hmm..what for Chris…I think I'm going to try ties.
I hit my favorite downtown LA fabric store on Monday and literally ran into Rami Kashou. We were exiting the store at the same time and standing on the curb, waiting for cars to pass so we could run across to ours (which were coincidently parked next to eachother.) I had Henry & Kate with me. Henry had a blue balloon from the store that kept hitting Rami in the head/face. "I'm so sorry!" I kept saying. Henry kept shouting, "Were going to have a party in the car! We're going to have a party in the car!" It made him smile and it took absolutely everything in me from shouting "YOU SHOULD HAVE WON!!!" He totally should have won.
I'm remembering I didn't tell you that we sat across from Danny & Rhea over the Summer. We were eating at this great little Japanese Noodle House (Asahi Ramen for you locals) and there they were. He was so microscopically tiny, I just wanted to throw him in my diaper bag and bring him home. Now would be a perfect time to upload lost footage of myself in my movie debut with THE Brian Dennehey, but alas you'll have to wait. I just wanted to give you some time to pop some corn. You'll need it. 
So totally unrelated, (I need to post more frequently as to not overwhelm…) I lost my sling. Blah. Somewhere between Utah and California. I need something to carry that little monkey in. I had this sling for over 3 years and loved it. I carried Henry in it until he was quite big. Now, I need another sling. I know there's a billion slings these days and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with this one again. The only thing I don't like is I can't carry her on my back, which would be so useful at times. So I'll be looking into that, at my leisure.
