Hanging with Nana!

I had the pleasure of my Mum's company for the past 4 days...something I probably won't have for a little while. When I dropped her off at the airport we were a little short on time (late)... so we didn't have time for all the "dramatic goodbyes" just curbside *hugs & kisses*.

On Friday she flew the girls out here for us, I think that was mainly for her own sense of relief of knowing where we were "living"...it's a "mom" thing, that I totally get!

After laboring over boxes and furniture placement, we cruised around The OC doing a little exploring! I took her into downtown to my new found Mexican place... Nana loves a good Mexican meal! lol :) We chatted and sipped on Sangria while enjoying a little Mummy/Daughter time!

While we were out exploring Dad took the Momos with his sister to the baseball game. The A's vs the O's...how fitting!!! :)

The next day Nana and I took to Costa Mesa & Newport Beach! Our first stop was IKEA, I swear this place was bigger than the one at home, it went on FOREVER. Glad we stopped by the cafe and fueled up before we got started! I'm not sure what all the hype is about, but IKEA food...doesn't really float my boat!

With their belly's full and the promise of ice cream at the end... the girls enjoyed their IKEA experience!

Yup they got comfortable... jumping on carpets with no shoes!

Since they were so determined to kick of their crocs we took to the beach!

We weren't fully prepared for "beaching" but we did get to dig our toes in the sand and let the water splash our legs. NOTE---WEST COAST WATER IS COLD!!!!!!! I'm not sure even if we were properly dressed we would have gotten in!!! *BRRRRRR*

Thanks for visiting us Nana! We'll see you again REAL SOON!!!

XOXOXO

A little exploring...

...so life without the girls is kinda... the word is supposed to be "sad"...but that doesn't come to mind immediately.... more like... "WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!" Kidding! I do miss them...but I am grateful that we have an opportunity to figure out our surroundings before we introduce the twins to The OC.

The Husband and I have been living life, well kinda living life, like we did before kids... work, eating and bed by 9pm...not really the single life...but close! lol :) We are still on EST. by 8:15pm we are yawning...

While The Husband is at work, I have been busy getting things in order at home before the arrival of our cargo...but in the evenings we try to do a little driving around mainly scavenging for food... We stumbled upon this little gem in BREA today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE a good Farmers Market...but what's better is this little "downtown" area is chocked full little shops and restaurants.

We dined at TACOS & TEQUILA .. OMG.. YUM... YUM...YUM!

I have also discovered that my INNER FAT GIRL will be very happy here... since The OC is "FROYO" heaven. There must be at least 7 Frozen Yogurt places within 5 miles of our house... and my favorite the closest!

While I'm busy stuffing my face with sangria, mexican and yogurt... it seems like our "neighbors" are busy checking us out... Meet "Shelly" she and her friends come to visit us every morning!
