Rainy Day Fun

We had a lovely rainy day yesterday, and Baguette had fun at home, with Bestie, and on a walk to see actual water in the L.A. River. Take a look:

Three Day Weekend

Mr. Sandwich and I each have jobs that give us Veterans Day off, and Baguette’s day care is closed on Veterans Day, so we had a three-day weekend. One day per family member! Except Wicket. No extra day for Wicket…. Read moreThree Day Weekend
