LalaLand with the Baby Adults

A quick trip to LA with my "baby adults" :)

A Beautiful oak tree framing our path on a little walk after dinner

more wildflowers

but before we got THE BEST red tacos in Sylmar, we spent the day at The Getty.

Here they are on the tram...one supporting the photo, one not hahaha

There was a cool fashion photography exhibit aptly titled:

Wonderful Things

lunch on the green and who knew the Getty Cafe

would carry $3 pb&j sandwiches!

I felt lucky to be just with these 2:)

They have a special bond.

They just understand one another!

The gardens were in full bloom :)

Turns out this was the one sunny day we got!

And of course, it's not an official museum visit if we are not twinning with art:)

The next day I dropped them off for a not so bright but early for a day at Universal!

The Weasley's? Are they twins?

I love them.

They rode Jurassic 5 times!

While the kids spent the day at Universal...I had a great time with Marcie and Marty doing Hollywood things!

Here we are holding an Emmy at Paramount Studios...the tour guide was like, this picture is so dumb it's good:)

These 2 are the best to spend time with.

I sized up these costumes...Hollywood is really small!

We kept saying...Mom would love this!

This may look like just a green but this is where the scene of the secret trampoline episode of Community was shot!

So LA....curious why so many people are scientologists?

We boarded a questionable Hollywood tour.

I can't tell you how bad it was...you just had to be there. From getting windblown, to seeing one of Rihanna's homes, then driving next to a brick wall in an alley and being told that Jimmy Kimmel's show is behind said brick wall....all done in a monotone dead panned voice.

"This is Michael Jackson's last home before he died. He died there."

But we laughed and laughed and made a life memory we will never forget:)

I did take one picture of Whitney Houston's first home.

It was charming.

The next day we hung out in Burbank with a stop at Donut Hut:)

Vintage shopped at Playclothes on Magnolia

You could find everything there!

We thought Audrey might like to prom dress shop here next year!

I miss seeing Jacarandas:)

There were smears of it on streets from cars running over the petals and tracking them.

Plant shop down the road but not pictured was the most perfect Halloween shop open year round! I bought some adorable figurines and a fish skeleton :0

I only documented this stop on the way home:)

Pismo and cinnamon rolls for the win!

The Lofty Summer Project

Summer Milkbarn projects! We had so many plans and then like anything, summer came and kind of went (well, unless you count the 25 days left of actual summer). We accomplished 2 things. Here is the the boys room remodel. We haven't completed the built in book shelves but this is a pretty amazing re-do since it was a pretty nasty room to start with. Before photos (after I delightfully cleaned, donated and organized the boys belongings! well, not all of them) Right below this crack through their ceiling slept Henry in the top bunk. If I was him, I would've imagined monsters or something trying to break in from another dimension... oh wait, that is Stranger Things on Netflix ( okay, so that was my 3rd summer project) old paint swatches from 2 1/2 years ago lightening speed around here! Ripped up the carpet and remains of a rainbow loom rip rainbow looms After the carpet and linoleum un...

Post #40 The Ninja Room

The room my family has been waiting for. Seriously! I knew when we decided to turn this into a hang out room versus another bedroom(sorry teenage Lucy) it would be the end all at the Milkbarn. In the 70's, when I grew up, this type of room was called a den. Rightly so. They were usually planked with wood siding and padded with two toned shag carpet. Nowadays I hear the word lounge to describe this space which only conjures up images of 20 somethings in the 90's (ahem, that was me) congregating at hip places with lots of sectional seating and guys thinking cigars were cool while I thought it seemed all so ridiculous. So our children, upon carpet installation, commandeered the room for fighting and wrestling and so forth. They named it The Ninja Room . No den, no lounge...just the ninja room. We love that they named it. We wanted to put up all of our family photographs in a more personal space. ...

Costumes and Windows

Our shady tree Our favorite tree holds this swing we pulled out of the "jungle room"...remember the room with the Bali mural and plants everywhere that left our collective heads scratching? The swing survived the excavating. Anyway, our swing is a place where we play, snack, talk, think, hold hands, lean on each other and (maybe)escape. Or watch bunnies. RIP Ernie. (My bunny friend that never ran away from me.) I love how the Milkbarn looks in the fall. Delivery complete. We filled this dumpster up within a week or two of tearing up the apartment. Windows installed! The three on the left is where the kitchen sink will be. Early fall morning looking towards the canyon. Autumn never gets old for me. Our backyard neighbors must be sick of looking at this mess. The kids picked this up unwillingly. Ah, Milkbarn memories. Sleeping in our future kitchen yo. Halloween chaos. I decided this year to make some Halloween...
