This is just a silly little post because I'm sooooo excited about fall and the fall shows! I'm kinda a tv junkie. I just like to forget my real life and be enveloped in an imaginary world for a little bit. Right now, Parenthood is on. I love this show and have been so worried at the end of every season that its going to be cancelled. Not yet!!
My favorite shows are lengthy so I'll just say the ones off the top of my head...NCIS, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, 2 Broke Girls, Up All Night. Then there are the reality shows like chopped and project runway and top chef. When Jorge is putting gabe to bed, I get my personal time to enjoy uninterrupted tv *ahhh*
But, I also love fall because I can wear sweaters and boots and jeans. (and yoga pants!) I am really sick of tanks all of the time and I really hate being sweaty. I also love fall because I love all things pumpkin and warm. I am going to get my first pumpkin coffee of the season tomorrow. Yum yum yum! And I love the smell of wood burning, it always reminds me of cooler weather when my neighbor would burn wood/leaves in his garage.
I'm so excited about fall! (just no cold weather for babes party please!)

Burn the house down
Most of you know that sunday nights we have dinner at my parents house. My moms birthday was yesterday, so I said I'd make dinner for a change. Ha!
It turned out to be a really busy day, busier than I thought it was going to be. Also, I had to take a migraine pill because I was a little hung over from the block party (what can I say, I don't drink much). I had planned on making 3lbs of meatballs in the morning and just reheating them in the sauce for dinner. Somehow I ran out of time, which turned out to be a good thing.
Usually, I make turkey meatballs. (Jorge has gout and shouldn't eat tons of red meat even though he does) I'm not use to grease coming from my meatballs that I cook in the oven. I had bought a ground beef with a higher fat content and....there was grease all over the oven and the fire alarm went off every few seconds saying "fire! Fire!". I'm glad I didn't make them earlier, by myself, I would have freaked even more than I did with my mom and Jorge there. We even got out the fire extinguisher, just in case the grease in the oven caught fire when I took the meatballs out.
Unfortunately, there was so much grease we couldn't make the garlic bread that I already had out of the freezer, thawing. I put them in the toaster oven and burned the first two pieces. AND my headache came back.
What a memorable birthday/Sunday night dinner!
I could have really used one of these yesterday. Instead, I made dinner for Molly and conor that I also burned. I swear I'm a good cook!!!!

Block party Saturday
So, I'm totally going to overwhelm you with pictures from the block party. Every year my in laws block has a block party. I had never been to one until Jorge and I started dating. They are pretty awesome! Gabe had tons of fun. We also got a cake for Sidney because she is going to be (omg!) 14 on Wednesday!!
There's a fireman on the block so there is always a fire truck that stops by and lets people go up in the basket. This year, they even had a truck where you walked along the ladder to get to the basket! I didn't do it, but jasmin, Sidney and Jorge did.
Sidney's tia (aunt) smooshed her face into the cake! Highlight of the party!
