Lighthouse Santa Rocks!
Braved the cold today to see Lighthouse Santa and it was totally worth it. The little tree in the dinghy is just too freakin' cute.

Birds Surround Her Sweet Sound...
Random pics from October.

And some rolling around in the yard:
More to come. There's a "Kung-Fu Princess" in the works for Halloween...

July Photos
Collection of photos taken throughout July.
Some Liv highlights:
About 2 weeks ago she insisted that we address her as 'Emily'. "Emily Schroder sounds much better than Olivia Schroder." We told her no, she proceeded to quibble with us for the rest of the day and then the next morning all was forgotten. I'm still not clear on where she got the name Emily from.
Tonight she insisted that she's turning into a mermaid. I blame the horrible HORRIBLE movie she saw on Disney a couple of weeks ago. (Dave Coulier is in it so that should give you a hint as to how bad it is.) She told me that while in the pool today at camp she felt her feet sticking together, almost like a fin. And then in the grocery store she said that she thinks scales are appearing on her hands and that she better get into water as soon as possible. She's wondering if she has another "mermaid mother".

Pet Update
In a bizarre turn of events Ryan is no longer with us. Not sure how or why but the poor little guy passed away yesterday. Needless to say, Liv was heartbroken and most of all confused. I personally think that he was sick with something even before we got him. When we went back to the pet store to see if we could get another guinea pig there were only 2 there (compared to the 12+ they had last week) and the price was reduced. Not sure what happened to them but I find it hard to believe that they had a run on guinea pigs over the past 9 days.
So, in a twist of fate we ended up bringing home the fluffiest ball of cuteness. A 3 month-old mini-lop. Her name is "Sabella...or you can call her Stella". I've been calling her Sabella but Liv's been calling her both and added a third name (Bella) while on the phone with my mom this morning. At this point I'm thinking Ella may be the best bet since it covers all three. And now for your cuteness overload...

Cats & Art
Milo has been jonesing for some outdoor action so Liv supervised him in the yard today. He was more interested in chomping on the grass than running away. (I'm certain I'll be stepping in green puke at some point tonight.)
And with it being the end of school Liv brought home tons of cool projects. She decided she wanted to hang some in her room.

KHS Award
Super short, but cute, clip of Liv receiving the KHS Award at school. She was nominated for being KHS - Kind, Hardworking and Safe. I like the little nose crunch she does at the very end!
(And yes, I realize that this little doozy of a clip leaves a lot to be desired in terms of my video career.)

Sweetheart Dance
Last Friday was the annual "Sweetheart Dance". I have to say that I'm amazed at how many kids/parents go *completely* overboard with the whole thing. For example, manicures, pedicures, professionally done hair, prom-like dresses and ginormous wrist corsages. It's elementary school, people. Elementary!

Aquarium
Had an amazing time at the aquarium yesterday with Mike and his kids. Apparently that is THE destination on Valentine's Day. Crazy!
The harbor seals were as cute as ever as were the penguins and turtles but I think I have a new favorite: the blue-spine unicornfish. It acted as weird as it looked.
Click here to see some photos.

Jackson and Jamy
So...Liv has created an imaginary brother and sister.
First there's Jackson, Liv's twin brother. He has a mohawk. Per Liv, "he's funny; he's a good joke teller; he's a very good brother; and he's fun to play with."
Jamy is the older sister. She is in college. She is often not at home.
Jackson's been around for a while now (I think since Oct. of last year). Although he's not a constant (in that he's mentioned every single day) she does take him seriously as evidenced by the below drawing she did for school where she was asked to draw a picture of her family. (What I want to know is why I don't have a body. What's up with that???)
Liv tends to bring Jackson up at random times. Last weekend when I took Liv to get her haircut I overheard her tell the hairdresser that she has a brother. And then the other night she asked me out of the blue where Jackson was.
Jamy is a more recent development. She doesn't come up in conversation as often as Jackson. When she does it's more often in the form of an announcement like "Jamy is going to a party" or "Jamy is over at a friend's house".
It took a little getting used to these two being brought up from time to time but the idea of them seems harmless enough. What I do find unsettling is the fact that she picked names that both start with the letter 'j'. Is she a Duggar wannabe?
