five on friday (now with pictures)

1. getting ready for our road trip.  list making, shopping, packing and just enjoying ourselves around here.  working on a travel journal similar to this one for recording those magic memories.  not quite done yet but the best part is that i used what i had to put it together so it cost me $0.  i want to put pictures in it as we go so i had to order one of these.

2.  fuji instax mini - so excited that this is on it's way.  now if you remember last year when i ordered my new lens for our trip to italy and it didn't come until 7pm the night before we left.  this one, along with 4 rolls of film, should be here by monday or tuesday.  i debated over getting this or a tiny printer but in the end i went with quality of picture.  super excited to play with it.

3.  look who lost her first tooth.  i know it seems early, but considering all of my kids started teething by 2 months, it doesn't surprise me.  she has been showing off her "bent" tooth, as she called it, to everyone by popping it out of her mouth when she smiled.  and finally yesterday she came over to me and told me she pulled it out.  no bleeding and she was laughing.  but then when i took her to the mirror she said she was not happy about it.  just one more sign that my baby is growing up.

4.  hoping to put together a "glee" playlist for the trip.  we were listening to the samples on itunes and loved every one.

5.  went to the dodger game for andre ethier action figure night.  we always have a good time going together.  we eat (i always bring our own food, so much cheaper and healthier), we watch some baseball and we love the guy who sings "don't stop believing").  my friend, who owns the amazing club house seats, was there too and came to visit, and brought us cracker jacks and peanuts.  and the dodgers won!



gearing up for 2 birthday parties, shopping and dinner with friends. and of course we are taking the kids to see "despicable me."  have a good weekend.
