Mystery Record Player Photo

Ok, I know I have been seriously slacking on this blog, but I've been wrapped up with wedding planning for the past couple months!

Anyway, I was browsing through some pictures I'd saved on my computer in the "Inspiration" folder and came across this awesome Record Player photo and thought that it'd be a great print to hang up on a wall somewhere. Then I realized that I was seriously not thinking when I saved it, and didn't tag it or anything with the info as to where I got it. So if anyone's seen this pic around, will you shoot me an e-mail so I can find the photographer?

Thank you!

Ok, so I'm obsessed with little kids clothes. Even girl's and so far I've only got a boy. Ok, well especially girls since their clothes are so much cuter and have so many more options than boys. So I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was to randomly stumble across this mom's blog all about her toddler daughter's outfits: Confessions from a Daughter's Closet. I'm sure it helps that her daughter is super adorable but Bekki is hilarious and I just love checking out all her daughter's beautiful dresses and matching hair accessories!

Fun Inside

We babysat my cousin's son a couple weekends ago and she's got this little play structure in her son's room that I thought was such a great idea! What a neat way to let your kids run around and play like they're outside while keeping them contained in the nice air conditioned (or dry, if it's raining) house. Christopher had a blast playing with his little cousin Connor.

Oh, and we caught a frog!

Red Wine Cupcakes (!)

Check out these gorgeous wine cupcakes made by my friend over at Occasional Sugar. They've actually got red wine in the cake and frosting recipes! That's so unique- I never knew you could make cupcakes with wine. Doesn't it look like you'd just want to drink it up!?

Where the Wild Things Are

Ok, I must say that I have mixed feelings about this moving coming out in October. But for a different reason than one might think. First, I can't wait to see it! All the wild things look awesome and I love the trailer for the movie, plus what kid didn't love this book? But the only opposition I have to it, is that it's coming out in October... October 16th... right before Halloween....

Now, ever since Christopher was a baby I've had the idea for one of his Halloween costumes to be Max from Where the Wild Things Are because I thought it'd be totally cute and original and there wouldn't really be any kids out there with the Max costume (I've never seen one anyway). Either this year or next year would be a perfect year for Christopher to be Max, because he's 3 now and might actually be excited and enjoy Halloween this year. Plus I've got this aversion to letting him wear a boring, store-bought, out-of-the-package Halloween costume now that he's old enough to have an opinion. I think Halloween is a time for creativity! In 4th grade I was actually a calendar for Halloween... don't ask I have no idea how I came up with it either, one side was October and the other was November.

So anyway, my problem with this movie coming out this October is that I really want Christopher to be Max for Halloween and I actually want to try and make his costume (eek!). But now that the movie's coming out my idea isn't going to be so original anymore and I'm worried that there's going to be a bunch of Max's running around on Halloween night.

I'm only hoping that if I can get his costume made this year, it won't look all crummy and generic and hopefully there won't be a lot of Max's yet, since the movie is only coming out 2 weeks before Halloween and most kids will already have their Halloween costumes picked out by then... right? Or does everyone else but me wait until right before Halloween to decide what they're going to be?

Disneyland at Dusk.

Sorry about the lack of posts! The family and I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Southern California, which included lots of sun, beach, family and Disneyland! Hopefully now I'll be able to get back into the swing of things and start posting again. Here's a few of my favorite pictures from our trip to Disneyland...
