check your sugarcoat at the door

weekend whirlwind

Over the weekend, coffee in hand, Kiddo and I attended a graduation party for a co-worker’s kid. I took in the amount of strangers I’d face and divided it by quality time with a couple of my co-workers and decided it was a good idea to go. A nearby park (quite literally, in the backyard of this house) kept Kiddo and the only other partygoer under ten entertained for the most part. When the cake and cookies were tsunami-ing through their blood stream, we initiated the Quiet Game which they played with admirable determination.

8:45 a.m., Saturday morning: Mama, can I come cuddle with you?

Could you have send no?

We went on a two store quest to purchase Ice Age and accidentally purchased Across the Universe and Next Friday as well. It needed to happen.
That night our neighbors fed us steak because they’re awesome and we watched game two of the Angel/Dodger series. WHICH WE TOOK, BY THE WAY. Ahem. I have a few sore Angel fan friends so my gloating had to be released somewhere.

Father’s Day was for brunch, toy stores and Huntington Beach with Kiddo and her daddy:




Check out the dune buggy/wheelchair in the background!

If all the daddies and grandpas had a day half as good as mine, the world is right.

Tonight I start school. Four nights a week of Ethnic Studies for one month. Eeek.
