Ruby thought she could see all kids of things through the binoculars.
She even found Daddy after his heat.

Boy, did we have an exhausting weekend. Friday night I attempted to make Hawaiian bread for Taylor's party. I hated it and my parents loved it. Go figure. It was a lot of work so I was p.o.ed that I didn't like it so I left it home. Saturday morning I took the girls down to Huntington to watch Anthony's surf contest. They had a ton of fun and Anthony's mom came to chase Ruby around and help her splash in the waves. It was overcast, but still nice. It will be a lot more fun when they are older and it is not sooo much work for me. Just getting them out of the car and down to the water is so draining.
You have no idea how much I love you T.T. Happy Birthday darling!!!!

Sorry Kyla, I didn't realize the sun was in your face:)
Sweet Aubrey... you are one of the best smilers, if that is a word.
I love these pictures of kids when their hair looks like what I call a rascally-doo(b/c that's what my kids hair ALWAYS looks like). Thanks for the smile, Hannah!
The party was a blast. I got to catch up with a lot of my blogging friends en vivo! Kim and Don put on a great party, as usually, and the kids wore themselves out! Abby was a handful because she thought that all she needed was a 20 minute nap to get by: WRONG!!! Plus, she is still suffering from bottle with-drawls. Everyday is getting better. Luckily, she is the youngest in our bunch, so she doesn't have to watch anyone else with a bottle.
Sunday I took the girls to Ruby's for breakfast. I recommend it for kids becasue the food comes out really fast! After I took them to the park in Seal beach to burn some energy, then to the farmers market to get some fresh goodies. I needed some honey for a new bread recipe I found, and ended up with: honey, danapple plums - so yummy, onions, pita bread, cucumber dip, and a potted rosemary and flat-leaf parsley plants to start a new herb garden. Total spent: $22.00 - you can't beat that.
Looking for advise: By now you all know how sensitive Ruby is. We are taking a turn for the worst becasue she is convinced that their are monsters in her room. Yesterday for her nap she was screaming and shaking, scared to death that the "monsters" are going to get her. I put her down and 30 seconds later she is screaming running out of her room. I asked her where they were and she said on her roof(ceiling). Ruby: "There on the roof. Can't you see them, Mommy?" Me: "No honey, I don't see anything" Ruby: The are all over the roof and they are looking at me through the vent"(which is right above her bed). Me: "Do you want me to get daddy and he will get them out of here?" Ruby: "Yeah momma". I run to our room and tell Anthony to to think quick, he has to get the monsters off the roof and out of the vent. I go back to Ruby's room and Anthony comes in with a dustbuster and vacuums up all the monsters. Me: "Is that better? Are they all gone now?" Ruby: "Thanks Daddy, they are all gone". Anthony gives her a kiss and leaves the rooms. Me: "Ok, time to go to sleep". Ruby: "Mom, what about the dragons?" WTH!!! Me: "Daddy sucked them up with the monsters". Ruby: "But he only got the little ones. The big ones wouldn't fit". She eventually went to sleep, but if this becomes a new routine, shoot me:)

What a good daddy getting those Monsters!!!!!!! You poor thing though, that gave me goose bumps just reading it. They say creativity is a sign of genius...did that help? (o: Maybe when you are totally away from the sleeping routine, you could ask her where she thinks the dragons and monsters come from and she may give you some insight when she's not in the middle of being upset about it. Or you could take her with you to pick out a friendly stuffed monster and dragon and you could tell her that when the other ones show up they are just there to visit their friends? Good luck! We don't want to have to shoot you!
She's so precious! Good one, Anthony! I wouldn't have thought of the dustbuster!
That idea with the dust budter is such a good idea. I was just thinkg of a squirt bottle. You can tell you sprinkled some special powder in the water and wwhen you spray around her room it makes every monster and dragon disappear. They also don't like the smell so they won't come back and bug her.
The pictures from the party are so cute! Poor Ruby... Brady sleeps with his light on the entire night and we can't dare shut his door.
