fluff

i got a sweet email from someone the other day wondering why i haven’t been posting and replied that i just haven’t had much to say… lots of fluff but nothing terribly exciting. she replied that she liked reading my fluff. so in case you do too, here’s today’s fluff. šŸ™‚ and i am not just talking about her hair. šŸ™‚

i am so sorry she has a mom who forgets about the girly details. i rarely dress her in dresses, i rarely take the time to comb and brush her hair. šŸ™‚ chris ends up doing it. i am used to my boys who have ‘wake up and go’ hair! and thank god kira is old enough to take care of hers herself! i do appreciate her curls though, so i am going to try and do better. sheesh. šŸ™‚

love this pic of kira and her best friend at the baseball snack stand. so glad they were there to cover my shift since i know elsie would have been a little terror in there. she is addicted to the red vines! like her mommy! šŸ™‚ speaking of kira, she misplaced her glasses and needs a new pair. sigh. anyone seen any cute frames?

i can’t tell you how many times i find her here. this is the snack cabinet. her favorite: raisins. she thinks she likes the granola bars and i tell everyone.. don’t open the granola bars for her.. she doesn’t eat them!!! what do we do? we can’t resist her and we open the granola bar. šŸ™‚ who could resist her in her gauchos? seriously, i melt!

this boy cracks us up. he always has issues with his pants. did you see the last post where he had on holy jeans? i said no more holy jeans. you have to start wearing these lovely new pants. he pitched a fit.. he doesn’t like the way the cargo pocket feels on his skin. you’re kidding me. kid, you are wearing them. more fit, more fit, more fit. a few hours later.. cakes- what’s up with the pants? oh, they’re fine! šŸ™‚ (of course!)

i love how the boys can use the last few minutes in the morning before school starts to play stuff. then they leave it there and when i pick them up, the first thing caleb says is: wanna finish playing?!? love it.

oh and did you see last sunday’s brothers and sisters??? the artichoke town where they filmed is ours!!! we saw them filming and were amazed to see it on air already! the new nancy drew movie that’s out soon was also filmed here.. at the church where c and i got married! and the scary new halloween movie was also filmed here.. cam and chris saw it during a night run. crazy to see them transform a street into  halloween when it’s not!

  2. I have to agree with the person who e-mailed you – I too have been missing your posts! ‘Fluff’ is great – there’s something comforting in the everyday details. And your family’s ‘fluff’ is always so lovely.

  4. I love the fluff too. Keep it coming. It’s comforting to know that others deal with the same fluff. And you usually make me smile.
    I loved the part about the boys playing and you picking up their stuff. I love finding treasures like that.
    Happy Day to you. TriciaH

  7. love the fluff!! and I love “comparing” if you will, how similar our lives can be (the baby at the snack cupboard, the boys with pants issues…) and yet your life, to me seems so amazing – maybe it’s where you live and all the opportunities you have there…I think it’s finally warming up here today to wear capris! šŸ˜‰ Have a great day Jamie…and thanks again for the fluff!

  11. I read ALL that fluff!!! I love to read your blog (fluff and all!)and then I realized that your blog is responsible for 1) my new obsession with cupcakes! (am I the only one who misses the DOTS-bakery inspired header for your blog?!?!?) and 2) our painting our 5-year old daughter’s room BRIGHT green with pink accents — looking back at Elsie’s birthday pictures, I noticed her balloons were pink and green. I had looked at those pictures often — loving the color combination. Guess I know wherein lies inspiration!!!

  14. Nice fluff, Jaime! Fluff is the stuff life is made of, right? All the most precious moments are in the fluff!
    PS—I live just outside of Monterey, CA which is just a hop, skip and a jump from the real Castroville (where Brothers & Sisters was, I thought, really filmed at. Are you saying they really filmed in Pasadena and pretended it was Castroville, CA?? How funny is that!
