With quiet evenings at home, plus some cooler weather and London sprinkles (much to big Oscar's chagrin) we had a number of movie marathons. They included the whole Harry Potter series, and most of Star Wars. Our little crafter Livi was inspired to make her own Ewok costume after the viewing of Return of the Jedi using only a paper bag, a stick, a rock, and some tape!
Livi was on a roll, talking about all the things she wanted to make when she grew up. From stuffed animals, to her own clothing line. She even came up with a name for her store -"OL." Here she is trying out her salesman skills on Oscar. She wasn't too discriminating when selecting merchandise, and Oscar had some drawing supplies, miscellaneous toys, and maternity maxi pads to choose from..
As we were in our last week in London we asked the kiddos what they'd like to do for our last few days aside from chilling at our cozy apartment. First up, another double decker bus ride. This time we headed to St. James Park and Buckingham Palace. They each brought their own entertainment for the ride:

Next up was Portobello Market. My goal was to take the train, and then nurse Harry in one of the parks before we hit the market. Turns out Notting Hill is so fancy, all the parks are private. A church courtyard served nicely, and Oscar provided a musical accompaniment. After a nice quiet nursing session, we headed to the market which was both really cool and crazy busy.

| We got their late, so the donuts were on sale! Little Oscar was very impressed. |

| Happy Father's Day Dada! |

| He's finally awake for a picture - our Underground stop! |
