This post by one of my favorite bloggers, Sarah, got me thinking this summer. I had never once considered taking my daughter to go see a play. Why not? Not sure. I thought, when I read Sarah's blog: What a great bonding experience!

So, I scoured the net for local shows... and FINALLY tickets for Mary Poppins went on sale starting Sept. 13. I snagged us 3 tickets... Isabel and I decided we also wanted my mom to go. Unfortunately, we have to wait until February - but I am sure, once it gets here, we are going to have a blast!!

When I am alone...

...I love to burn candles.

I have a hard time burning them at other times because of a 2 1/2 year old (who shall rename nameless). He LOVES to blow out candles. I am just so afraid that he will try to touch one, or knock one over. I won't take chances...

spit on

So I only burn them when he is out of the house.

Take today, for example.

I dropped him off at daycare... I am back home, working. I decided to light not one, not two, but 4 candles.

There are two apple cinnamon in the kitchen, a clean cotton one in the bathroom,

and divine country flowers one in the living room.

My house smells heavenly.

Until the kids come home, that is!

Prescott

Yep... Welcome to Prescott. What a beautiful town. I have been before, but when I was still in pigtails. So, everything was pretty much new to me. The Victorian houses were to die for, the people were so friendly, and the weather was perfect. And here I thought I would have to move across the country to get those things; I could move 2 hours NW and bamm... right in the middle of perfect!

Take a gander at a sampling of the pictures I snapped during our day trip.

The best $2.96 ever spent at Wal-Mart. The worms kept Nic happy the entire time!

This was at a scenic stop on the way to Prescott... Look at those clouds!

I think I took well over 200 pictures in all. You can find the rest here.

We had such a fun trip. Prescott is a lovely place - The husband and I are already planning a return trip, without the kids!

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to Prescott we go!

We are going on a day trip! And while it will take take two hours to get to Prescott... the weather will be worth it. It's supposed to be over 100 degrees here in the Valley... but only 81 degrees in Prescott.

Lovely!

We stopped by Wal-Mart last night and picked up some fishing poles for the kids...and some refrigerated live worms.

Wish me luck with that! :)
