New fall outfits

Thanks Tia heather

First day at mfam at little school

It was Girly Lunch on Labor Day with the three of us heading for popovers to Neiman Marcus. The girls looks gorgeous in their dresses, and loved see everyone in Union Square. As soon as they scored the new microphone and guitar though they were ready to head home to try out their rock band, and have a lemonade stand for the last day of summer.

Next American Idol

In the making--Lindsey got the microphone, and Maddie the guitar this past weekend and we have had tons of rock shows and performances ever since.... I think Lindsey's band will have to be called Pretty in Pink.

Chili Ball

Is our favorite event/fundraiser in Napa Valley all summer long. Every generation is welcome, and has a blast. Our kids LIVE for the dancing, and the chance to have a WHOLE can of 7-up. (this is the first place they had a 7-up and we let them have basically one a year, at chili ball...)

So this video not only shows off their dancing skills, but also the effects of many ounces of straight sugar....

What's old is new again

Once upon a time my mom made this dollhouse for heather and me. Now Maddie and Lindsey are having a blast setting it up and playing the day away. Sometimes the oldies really are the goodies.
