We have a great group if friends around here. Every other Halloween we are part of a huge scavenger hunt! It is so fun. There are about 8 teams with about 5 couples on each team. We have a week prior to the main scavenger hunt to prank the other teams. This evening we spent toilet papering the other teams cars. We had a blast. The final event of the scavenger hunt was also fun even though we didn't win. Maybe in two years we will have better luck. Happy halloween!
Daniel and I left the kids with the Miners this weekend. Since we got started so late we went to a local movie then stayed home. The next morning we drop to Carmel by the Sea. There, we had a nice lunch and toured the Carmel mission. One would think a tour of this place wouldn't take more than 45 minutes, but we were there for over 2 hours. Daniel and I kept asking the museum guide questions and we got to see some special things, like books from the Priest's private library...books that were hundreds of years old. This is the only picture I have from that weekend other than a few beach pictures. On Sunday we went on the famous 18 mile drive around and through Pebble Beach. This too was beautiful.
We were Happy to come back to our children until we found out that Sam had spent the night on the bathroom floor throwing up and then we had to hear a big dramatic story about Olivia's day with Sophie. Oh well, it was a nice weekend while it lasted.
After Christmas we invited Eve's family to come play with us for a few days. We had a great time. One day we drove to the Santa Cruz mountains and took a train ride. It was such a nice day.
Lauren: "So, when are the Kids coming home?"
Me: "Uh, Lu, it is 9:355am, it's going to be a LONG time 'till the kids get home."
poor Lauren, she is Stuck with only me.
Anyone can see Lauren looks just like Olivia, ut their similarities were just too cute tonight. We were studying the Book of Mormon with the kids. Each kid was in charge of raising their hand when daniel said a certain word. Olivia decided she would make a tally of each persons word. After about 5 minutes Lauren wanted to be just like her sister. It was so cute when Lauren ran to get a paper out and started coloring just like Olivia.
Sam and a lot of his buddies got together after school for a water gun fight and picnic. He has a great group of kids his age!
....is gone. Over the past few months her mole had changed. Because of my mom's dad's melanoma and my sister's melanoma I decided to have Olivia's mole removed and tested. For some reason this was very hard on me. Olivia is happy bc this means no basketball tomorrow!
Here is Sam's letter to the tooth fairy. I had to give him an etiquette lesson in how to write a letter to the tooth fairy. I told him I did not think she would like being told what to bring as her gift yo him. He was an easy sell. So of course the tooth fairy brought him gum.
We tried to go to the farmer's market, buy they were having an art festival instead. We had a great time walking around. Daniel is out of town at his nephew's baptism so it was just me and the kids. Unfortunately they had fair like rides which I think detracts from the festival feel, but I did let the kids go on a ride. We had a relaxing morning...everyone was happy. We must be getting older!
