Today we spent a couple hours at the neighborhood park where Little A made friends with a cute little girl.  He’s super friendly.  He went right up to her and gave her a hug and they were friends right then and there.

On this day, we went to a Middle Eastern market with Little A’s aunt and cousin Nautas.  Here they are in the shopping cart. Nautas is giving him a big kiss on his head…too cute!  I bought some baklava and lavosh bread – yum!

On this day I ventured out to Ikea for their yummy meatballs (hey, they were half price, only $2.50 after 4pm!) and because I was on the hunt for more throw pillows for our sectional and two dining chairs.  Unfortunately, the reproduction Tulip style chairs I ordered from Overstock weren’t as cool as I had hoped.  They look cool.  The quality wasn’t great and everytime I sat on one of them one of the screws would make a popping noise, which was very annoying.  So they’re going back!  I’m bummed because almost everything else I’ve ever ordered from them I’ve been very pleased with. 

Anyway, I found two dining chairs at Ikea for the heads of the dining table.  I’m giving up on the Tulip style chairs for now but I still want something mid-century/Danish modern in style.  I found just the right chairs at Ikea.  They were being discontinued so they were marked down from $100 to only $60 each. I bought the very last two they had.

After Little A ate his meatballs he ended up passing out in the stroller with his blankie.  I caught this cute photo of him with my iPhone.  He is such an angel, most especially while sleeping.  I’m amazed with his super long eyelashes and can’t help being envious.  I mean, us women are the ones who need the long eyelashes, not boys!  Yet somehow my hubby and son have longer eyelashes than I do.  Go figure!

This is the only photo I took yesterday.  Little A was watching a DVD in our bedroom sans clothes, his favorite way to be around the house.  Notice his cool “Slacker Radio” tattoo on his arm.  He keeps pointing to it and saying, “eetoo.”

Today Little A and I met the hubby and Little A’s Grandpa at Lake Miramar for lunch.  We picked up some sub sandwiches and ate them on the picnic tables.  There were a bunch of geese hanging out right there that started coming towards us all excited because they thought we were going to feed them.  Those birds are huge!  I was definitely afraid.  I mean, look at the knobs on their heads!  After we finished lunch they walked down to the boat ramp to go see the lake and I tried to get down low to shoot a more interesting photo of the three of them with my iPhone.   One of those white geese tried to peck at my head.  I think because I got down low he thought he could show me who was boss.  Wow, I never knew geese could be so mean!  Anyway, as usual it was yet another gorgeous day at the lake…nice and warm.  Everyone had a nice time, although it was a pretty short visit since they were on their lunch breaks and had to get back to work.

Today we played with bubbles in the backyard!  Little A accidentally spilled half the bottle of bubble solution so I had to rinse off the pavement.  This created a little pond where he played with his sailboat.  BTW, that last photo is the first photo Little A has ever taken.  His favorite thing to do is play with my iPhone and now he knows how to take photos with it.  Uh oh….

This evening we had some gorgeous light and skies that I couldn’t narrow it down to just one photo.

I’ve been so very tired today.  It feels like I’ve been walking around in a zombie-like haze.  I need more sleep.  This photo was taken from the sidewalk in front of my house today.  I liked how the clouds looked like they stacked on top of each other to make the shape of the Pilsbury Dough Man waving, “Hi.”  I took it with my iPhone and used Chase Jarvis’ “Best Camera” app to process it.  I love that I can just email it to myself as well as to FB and Twitter if I so desire all at the same time.  From there I can just post it to my blog without ever having to pull it up in Photoshop.  So easy and so great, especially when you’re so tired like I am.  Hmm that gives me a great idea….I think I might just continue this blog using only my iPhone and the Best Camera App. to save time and keep it simple.  Good night all!  I have an appointment with my pillow….zzzzz…..
