Birthday Girls
Evie and Vivian turned 6 and 4!
Yes. I threw a princess party.
No. I can't believe it either.
I hate to admit it but it was a shitload of fun and I would totally do it again :)
Fiona the Wonder Pug went to her new home a few days ago and we already have yet another. Rescue is inundated with unwanted dogs lately because of hard financial times (and the pug trend is fizzling out, thank god). The new one is named Ollie, he's pretty cute and hasn't whizzed on any furniture yet - which is why I usually refuse to foster boy dogs (sorry, fellas). Got him from the Peninsula Humane Society, where I made sure to browse the selection of Chihuahua mixes before leaving. They are so cute and tragic! It was really hard to not stuff as many as could fit into my purse before leaving! Andrew is so forgiving about all the strays I bring home ("Oh, hey, wow. A new dog. Huh.") but I don't want to overdo it, you know.
Aside from stray dogs I'm volunteering at Evie's kindergarten for two hours a week teaching painting to the kids. I love it. I can't wait until the higher grades when I can do some art history too. She has an awesome class, we love her school! I think I got a little too enthusiastic when I agreed to teach block printing to 125 kids at the holiday craft fair though. Doh.
The thing I am most excited about this holiday season though is spending time at Yosemite, teaching Evie to use an EZ Bake Oven and this present that she specifically asked for:
I finally get to teach her to sew on a Hello Kitty Sewing machine, manufactured by Janome! Awesome!

Wow on the princess party. Glad it turned out cool! But I really had to squeal when I saw that sewing machine -- Emily's getting the 1/2 size Hello Kitty Janome this Xmas!! (it's the blue one that came out the same time as that green one, just smaller) I'm so excited!!
yay for hello kitty sewing machines!!
