August Tidbits

Even though August means winding down summer we managed to still have a bit more fun.

I was chosen again to host another fun House party, this time it was for Home Depot and Velcro. I admit the projects they gave me were a bit "special" so instead I just bought a bunch of Velcro and we all made cute quiet book pgs. It was fun and I have a fun mess of new and old neighbors join me for this fun.

We finished a little over 1/2 of Phoebe's & Cami's room & I love how it turned out so far!

I am actually getting a head start on all the Party fun the twins will have to celebrate 4 and Sophie, doesn't like to sit by and watch me do it, soI have been instead learning to sew with a 2 yr old on my lap. It is not very productive, but it buys me some time and her patience while I work on my project, so we make do.

The kids have had lots of their own fun too, some more appreciated than others. They popped Cami's bean bag and threw the beans everywhere like it was snowing, one of the least appreciated fun activities of all summer. I had fun making Phoebe breakfast one morning, but Phoebe didn't appreciate my baby chocolate chip pancake I made her. Josh created one highly "attractive" outfits for himself, while Sophie discovered how nice naps on the bean bags were.

Cory and I went on a date to The Lone Stranger at Desert Star theater, which turned out to be one of their funnier plays!

Sophie discovered how cute she could be in her new Farrah Fawcett hair due. This is just trouble for us, it now makes it harder to be made at her when she is really just pure naughty to her little blacked core.

Once school started for all the tracks but hers, Phoebe got lonely and created a "computer" where she could Skype with Cynthia the neighbor girl while she was at school.

We felt honored to be invited to one of our  new neighbor's quinceanera. It was a gorgeous catered dinner party where she did all her fun choreographed dances we have been watching her practice in their drive way for months. Phoebe thought she looked like a princess and about cried when we had to leave and she hadn't gotten a a pic with Maria, the party girl yet. 

Before the run of babies that are about to be born in the Fergy family all us girls decided to have a girls night out, I didn't get a big group shot, but here is a pic of Julie and I at the yumm-o pizza parlor.

One day when having a rough morning we decided to break things up a bit by having a picnic in the park it was cut short a bit by too many bees on the lunch and a passing rain shower. It's fun to live next to so many fun parks.

Out neighbor came over one morning about 7:30 when Cory was leaving and taught the kiddos how to play hop scotch, they loved it!

Phoebe brought me Sophie one Sunday afternoon in a panic and told me Sophie caught a case of the dots...Oh no, I hope it's not contagious.

Finally at the end of the month Sophie discovered how to apply make-up that really highlights her natural beauty.

Fergy Luau '13

To welcome home the Moreno's here from sunny Cali the Fergy clan gathered to enjoy our annual Fergy Family Luau. The food was not only festive , but of course delicious and as always ever so bountiful!

We even had a pineapple shaped cheese roll and fun lei's to help us feel like where were in the tropical islands.

The kids put on the pearly shells hula show for us, some more than others were into the performace.

To finish off the night we enjoyed some delicious tropical sorbets and pineapple whips, which was a first for me and definitely won't be a last once I find the recipe for it.

I am not sure what purpose the viking horns had at our luau, but we warmly welcome all cultures, especially the little cute ones!

Thanks Fergy Clan for another fun luau and show, it's fun traditions like these that made me look forward to summer time here!

August Fergy Summer Fun

We started out August with more of our fun Movie Madness Mondays. We watched Winnie the Pooh and Made Peanut butter Honey Buddies, DELISH! Sophie played the part of Pooh Bear perfectly trying to eat her way though the honey cap to get to the good stuff and getting sticky all over her arm in the process.

The next week we watched the Polar Express and made Frozen Hot Chocolate, this is addictively good, I made some more the next day! I meant to have this for Christmas in July, but we were a month late, oh well.

In the middle of the month we actually did what's fun Wednesday and make some glitter slime, it didn't turn out perfectly, but the kids had fun with it anyway. Don't ask why Josh was a pirate lion, it was dress-up day I guess. Also on a side note, Josh figured out how to cross his eyes (or eye in his case) so it is not hard to get a pic of him not doing it now.

We finished off the month of August with the Movie Surf's up and cracked a coconut and enjoyed some squid on a stick, a popular delicacy in the movie. For this week we also had a neighbor friend, Megan, join us.

We'll see if we are able to keep up any of the fun days during some of the 1/2 school days ahead. If not luckily every 9 weeks Phoebe is off for 3 wks for more Monday movie madness fun!
