Project 365 - Day 277

We all went to a fabulous wedding in the Bay Area at Ruby Hill. Chris's brother Sean married Michele in a beautiful wedding. I wasn't sure what to get and decided on a stock pot with some soup recipes. Chris served as best man and Jaylyn and Jayce were flower girl and ring bearer.

The Zakas family was there too and all the kids had a blast playing together. I had not seen this set up before at a wedding but they had an entire room set aside for the kids connected to the reception room. They had crafts, snacks, tables, chairs and lots and lots of little toys in gift bags for each kid. It was such a great idea!

I love how Nathan found a leaf and was trying to be fancy like the wedding party. He is so cute.

Happy Anniversary to Mike and I! It has been 11 years of marriage for us and we had to split duty today.

Mike had soccer duty with Nathan and I got to go to the bay area with Laura and Noah to celebrate my friend Cristina's son Joaquin's first birthday. He and Noah are one month apart. It is fun to have kids at the same time, we just wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often.

Project 365 - Day 275

It's been a while since a food picture was the POTD. I can't remember how I came across these, as I subscribe to quite a few food email newsletter things, but they were so fast and easy I have fallen in love with them. I substituted my one point corn tortillas and weight watcher cheese so they were much better numbers than the actual recipe. They are so yummy I have a new favorite enchilada recipe. The fresh crunch from the raw onion and the queso fresco and cilantro on top make these delicious in my opinion.

Here is the recipe just in case anyone is interested: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chicken-and-cheese-enchiladas-recipe/index.html

This is another one of those 'Lacerda' milestones. Just like the LeapFrog letters being pushed onto the floor from the refrigerator, being able to reach the blind strings from the couch is one of those milestones in our family. Each child has gotten such a sense of joy and accomplishment from these findings. This had to be the POTD.

I am really hoping photoshop will help this photo. Mike's colorblindness does not allow him to see anything at all in this photo. This was Nathan's favorite 'new school clothes' find. It is a glow in the dark shirt and he requested this be the POTD. He has been wanting it to be cold enough to wear this long sleeve shirt to school and it is finally turning fall so we headed into the closet with the lights off and I snapped away. I hope I can fix this so you can see the green better.

Nathan is so very excited each and every morning to ride his scooter to school. He loves getting faster and faster each day and parking his scooter in the bike rack next to his friend Ethan's. He thinks he is so cool.

Project 365 - Day 271

I got this idea from my uber crafty friend Annie a while back. I love the idea of little somethings for their lunch. It is such a fun way to prepare and eat lunch for them. Thanks to my mom for finding the cool boxes and cute silicone cupcake liners. These work much better than the paper cups I had been using.
