My Boys

Ok, so it's a really crappy picture (what more do you expect from a cell phone shot!), but I still think it's cute. These are my boys - the boys I have to say goodbye to every morning when I leave for work. I miss them all day.

Notice the love in Ish's eyes. That love is for Sukanya - his girlfriend on WPIX morning news - that's who he is fixated on in this picture. He has loved her his whole life. One day I hope he loves me this much! ;-)

Wishlist Wednesday - Vacation Edition

This week's Wishlist is all about vacations I'd like to take (Ish can come too - maybe).

I would love to visit Napa Valley, CA. This would be a non-Ish trip - wine and toddlers do not mix.
England is on my list of places I'd like to see - bonus that I have a friend there and can score free lodging!!! And possibly, free babysitting??? Colleen are you reading this???!!
On my list of been-there-done-that, I wouldn't mind going back to Italy. Show Ish where his peeps are from.
Last, but certainly not least, a trip back to Newport RI would be nice. In the fall - crisp weather, warm clam chowder. Lots to see and do.
And that wraps up another Wishlist Wednesday. Thanks to Jenni at The Foster Family blog for the inspiration! Check out her blog, and her Wishlists, here:

Pick Me A Pumpkin

Nothing says October like a trip to the pumpkin patch!

Ish needed a little help navigating the bumpy terrain of the patch.
This is what happened when daddy let go.
Ever determined to pick out just the right pumpkin, Ish found his balance and ran haphazardly through the patch.
At the end of the day, he picked a perfect pumpkin - that weighed more than he did.
Happy First Pumpkin Patch Ish!

At least he tries.

I love playing with these!
Oh geez, I really made a mess this time.
Nothing to see here mom, just keep watching Raymond. There's no mess here.
Hmmm....where do I start??
I know - with the bag!
Ok, just gotta collect all these balls and put them in the bag. I can handle that.
Wow, there's a lot of them. I've got my work cut out for me.
Ok, I've got 6 in there. That's a good start.
I think I'll stop for now. 6 is a good number. I'm sure no one will notice the 50 others I left on the floor.

Wish List Wednesday...The Celebrity Edition


I would love for Martha Stewart to come over and decorate my house for fall.
After the decorating is done, it would be nice if Gordon Ramsey would come over and teach me a few tricks (minus all the yelling he does on Hell's Kitchen of course).
And lastly, it would be nice for Mr. Elmo to come visit us whenever Ish gets cranky - he loves that fuzzy red monster!

Aye Be A Pirate!

Nothing says tough and manly like a set of monkey pirate pajamas.

Vote for Ish!!!

Clearly, I cannot win the popular vote in the Gap casting call (once you log in, you will see why - I don't know 4000 people!). The "Fan Favorite" vote gets the winner a trip to NY, Gap gift cards, etc.

The Gap people themselves will be choosing finalists to become Gap models and my true hope is that the good people at The Gap know a cutie when they see one and choose him to be a model!

But, just for fun, vote for Ish for "Fan Favorite"!
