Rebekka and Ross got their new house! And it's awesome! And it has room for us! So we boarded a plane bound for California and had an amazing time with Molly, Poppy, Ross, Rebekka and pretty much nailed the whole LA trip!
We went to the La Brea Tar Pits.
We went to Noah's Ark.
We went to China Town.
We went to Universal Studios!
We went to the beach (and sledded down the dunes).
We went to Venice Beach (and bought matching t-shirts and kettle corn!)
We went to Santa Monica Pier and rode the Ferris Wheel!
And we stayed home and played, playgrounded-it, chilled, swam, hung out, made sushi, and just had an amazingly wonderful Spring Break!
Can't wait until we can say 'Ello LA' again sometime soon!
So check out a few of the tricks and treats of a fun, lovely, c-c-c-cold Halloween!
...at the end of the night, the five of y'all piled in the back of the car, the lights went out, and y'all went quiet as you started chowing down on candy, candy, CANDY!
It's October, which means fall is in the air and Halloween is on the way.
Julia, you and I got the spooky spirit this year and decorated the inside of the house and then the outside. Then mommy and Aidan joined in too. Okay, it was mostly you, but we all pitched in and got our house all spooky scary for Halloween.
Then, we thought we didn't have quite enough decorations, so you and I and Aidan set off to make a big old spider-web in our front yard! And...we had to go get more string, but it turned out great!
Then, we grabbed some sammiches and headed to the Arboretum for a picnic and a pumpkin village visit (and some family photos...and some chasing and cooling off by splashing people with fountain-wetted hats...)
Another weekend a little later, we decided to carve our pumpkins. Mommy sat and sunbathed on the deck while we worked, had fun with pumpkin slop and goop, cooked our seeds and finalized our spooky jack-o-lanterns.
When I finished scooping out my pumpkin's guts, I went inside to wash my hands. When I came back outside, my pumpkin was FULL of guts again. WAAAAY more guts than it had to begin with! Some mischievous imps played a halloween trick on me! Because I had left the time-lapse camera recording, I actually caught you guys on video!
Aidan, your pumpkin was extra special. It had like 6 or 7 growing SPROUTS inside of it! That's really good luck!
Julia, you wanted to make your pumpkin a LITTLE more magical, so you guided me on giving it round glasses and a lightning scar to make it SCARY POTTER.
