Darrow made this bear in art camp. If you look inside in the 6A bag, you will find an apple computer. Who could this bear be modeled after, any guesses ?

She can walk better than I can in heels.

Throughout Bloomingdales mannequins were missing body parts and clothing...very odd!

We have been taking photos against this wall at the art school. Today Darrow took this photo after exclaiming, "Mommy, I would wear that outfit.." So is that a compliment. I am wearing something that my eight year old daughter would wear. I also clearly need to wear sunglasses or I squint!

Julian and I went in to SF to have lunch with Meredith, and baby Luca. Meredith and family leave this Monday for two years in Swaziland. I am trying to spend as much time with my sister as possible with my four kids, and her two, and two husbands that are out of town. We decided that today was a good day to spend together.
Our plan was to have lunch at The Ferry Building, as I could not get reservations at Slanted Door. Taking the food to go, and eating by the Bay seemed like a great option. Of course, we forgot that Tuesday is the big farmers market, and there was no where to park. So, we decided to head downtown, go to MOMA and see the Kahlo exhibit, and have lunch there. Once again, we forgot that the first Tuesday of the month is free at the museum. There were lines around the block. (Luckily, I have seen the exhibit. ) So much for "Plan B." We ended up having a very nice, relaxing lunch next door at XYZ. After lunch, we strolled through a very cold Union Square. Our one cool find was the new CB2 store. We were enjoying shopping until a crazy guy came in and yelled, "This is a stick up, everyone down on the floor". I just stood there. Then he yelled, "I am Jesse James, this is a stick up.." At this point we all ignored him. Julian and decided to hop the train back to the suburbs...
Next time you plan a trip to SF, pay attention to what day it is!

That was the latest comment from my very own fashion police squad. Beckett thinks I look like a boy scout with long hair. Maybe that is why this Marc Jacobs T was on the clearance rack!

After yesterday's fashion mishap, I decided to play it safe and subdued. My whole outfit, including painful, never to be worn again shoes, were made by Gap or Banana Republic.
The only kid commentary today was as to why I was wearing painful shoes. My answer, they are cute.
Note my special accessory, the mini van key.

I bought these pants this past Spring at J.Crew. I thought they were fun and retro. I was looking for ways to vary my wardrobe a bit. I put them on this morning and scared the kids. They hated my pants, and did not want to be seen with me. Now that I look at the photo, I probably should have worn a different shirt, and shoes, or maybe some different pants...

I actually picked up a useful guide at Whole Foods today. "The buy fresh, buy local guide", to food. Of course, this is another food related post. There is a great list of farms, farmers markets and of the restaurants that buy local produce. (I was surprised how few places there were here on the Peninsula w/ local produce. Have many more options in S.F. ) I found out about another local farmers market on Thursday that I will check out in addition to our Sunday market.
I can not cook, so I brought some wine to a good bye BBQ tonight. I am sad to say good bye to a great family. They are leaving Stanford for a position at Harvard. Why is it that I always bond with folks right before they move!
