Etsy fun!

I started a "store" on the Etsy site. As far as I can tell Etsy is like Ebay for crafters. Its pretty neat and if you have never been there and have a few hours you should go shopping there! There is some really great stuff there.

So my store only sells one thing (for now) and it is LED lights for paper lanterns. I made my first batch for my friend Katherine's wedding and it was fun and easy to make and they worked out perfectly! I checked around and didn't find any sites that sold LED lights like that so....I registered my store name and volia! FunForYou---made by me.

I have had one order already and I am ready for more! If you know anyone throwing any parties or getting hitched pass along my site!

FunForYou---Made by Me!

Thanks!

Ahhhh San Diego...

Thank goodness there is an oasis escape just hours from the bone drying heat here in good ol' AZ. San Diego! We went for a week and stayed at a beautiful bayside beach house in Mission Beach.

Grandad and the kids and I drove up on Monday. The drive went really well! Some whining here and there but no crying! We stopped halfway in Yuma, AZ for a little leg stretching and eats and arrived around 4pm in San Diego.

The house was perfect and after unloading we went for a bite to eat at Gringos Restaurant right off the main drag. The place was super kid friendly, had delicious food and bonus: Monday was half off margaritas!

With only a half hour catnap in the car behind them the kids were super tired and we popped up their baby tents and sent the kidlets to bed. Not long after that it was 9:50pm and time to head out to the balcony to watch the nightly fireworks at Sea World which were a mere 2 miles away.

Early the next morning we headed out to the bay and the kids went to work moving sand and collecting seashells. What fun! The bay is absolutely perfect for smaller kids. Its not super busy so the kids could wander free with out much restriction (an uncommon privilege which they love) and of course there are no waves and the water is perfect for toddler play.

Abuelita arrived on Tuesday night and we were off to Sea World on Wednesday. Sea World has a special on right now where you get two days for the price of one so we planned to have two days to explore the park. I loved seeing the kids at Sea World. I loved seeing them in awe and wonder and I loved indulging them in all sorts of specials like no nap, ice cream and other fun foods! They did really good but were pooped out by about 4pm so we headed back home.


Thursday Daddy and Uncle Bert arrived and we played at the bay and had a great day, then Friday was day two at Sea World and later Nini and Tio Richard arrived. Saturday was a day at the actual beach and the waves were huge! The sand is so nice and the kids enjoyed playing in the sand but did not enjoy the big ocean, only Faye would participate in wave jumping....



there's always next year for that!!
