#210 - Babysitter Blues

Last night we had a campfire (it's getting cold here, is that even possible for August?) and Pepe broke out the guitar. Here's the playlist for the evening:

This Land is Your Land - yeah, these words are hard to remember
Country Roads by John Denver - classic
Babysitter Blues - remember from Adventures in Babysitting (one of the greatest movies of all time)?

The Babysitter Blues went something like this (yes, I was the only one singing this and I'm sure our neighbors thought I was crazy):

Da da da da da, I've got the blues
Da da da da da, The baby sitter blues
Da da da da da, Don't leave us Kar
Da da da da da, Baby O's gonna miss you
Da da da da da, I've got the "don't leave us, Baby O gonna miss us, babysitter blues"

Yes, it's true, we're singing the babysitter blues because my sister is leaving this week. She's been such a great nanny to Baby O . . . we're going to miss her.

#209 - Kennedy Procession

Kar, Baby O and I made a last minute trip to DC yesterday. Driving by the Washington Monument, we noticed people lined up along the street. Turns out they were waiting for the Ted Kennedy Funeral Procession, so we decided to stop and watch.

It was actually pretty cool and I was super impressed with the entire Kennedy Family. We got to see them all (along with John Kerry).

#208 - Georgetown Cupcake

This whole summer we've been trying to go to Georgetown Cupcake. Finally, Kar made her way there and brought us home a half dozen delicious cupcakes.

Here's what we got (Pepe dug into them before I got home from work):1. chocolate 2 - ok, the chocolate cake was a little dry
2. chocolate PB swirl - ok - pictured above
3. vanilla 2 - really good - 1st place
4. coconut - delicious - probably 3rd place
5. red velvet - good cake, but the cream cheese frosting here is better - 2nd place
6. chocolate & vanilla - good - 4th place

#207 - Our kids

So, if Pepe and I ever decide to have more kids, here's what they may look like. I think Baby O looks most like the middle kid (even with his funky closed eyes), what do you think?

make your own kids here. - POST EDIT - LINK IS BROKEN :(

ps, not sure how Pepe and I could make a redheaded baby???

#206 - early morning tv

. . . never watch it (no time anymore) . . . and I'm not talking about infomercials . . .

My sister Kar and her bff Kelsey went to the Today Show and saw Flo Rida (he's a rapper). Baby O and I started watching tv at 7am to try and see Kar/Kelsey . . . after 2 hours of watching, Baby O getting into everything and no sign of them, I gave up.

I loved Flo Rida though . . . he was pretty fun!

#205 - Congo Line

Just a little fun from the wedding reception last night . . . aren't my nephews adorable!

Congrats Alyssa and Joseph!

#204 - 17 Again

Cheesy, but I laughed a lot while watching this with my sister Kar and her bff Kelsey. Reminds me of Never Been Kissed meets Freaky Friday (2 other movies I really like.)

#203 - He swims

Ok, not really. But Baby O is really loving the pool. He loves putting his head under the water, in fact, he practices every night during bath time.

We first went swimming about 3 weeks ago (first time since I had Baby O...yes, it's has taken me that long to fit back into my swimsuit) and I forgot how much fun swimming is....really, I could swim every day!

#202 - Steel Cut Oats done quick

I saw this and decided to pick up these quick cooking Steel Cut Oats at Trader Joes. I love how fast it cooks!
5 minutes after this photo was taken, Baby O smashed my oatmeal onto the floor :( Good thing I cooked double the recipe.
