Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Lauren had a very busy Halloween. We started the day at a Halloween celebration at a local shopping area. Radio Disney was there with games, music, dancing and etc. The kids Trick or Treated at the local stores. It was a fun way to start the day.

We finished the day at Brian and Diane's house for night time fun. Lauren and Sammie went Trick or Treating in Sammie's neighborhood. It was such a nice night out and the girls seemed to have a great time. They ended the evening with a ton of candy. It was a fun filled Halloween.

Craving Pumpkins

Lauren and I invited all Lauren's cousin's over for a pumpkin craving party. Blaire was not able to make it but Elaine brought her good friend, Angela. We all had a good time getting ready for Halloween. All pumpkins turned out great and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Saturday night Lauren and I went to the pumpkin patch. We had plans to go a few weeks ago but because of illness we had to postpone until last night. We had a great time and Lauren enjoyed all the activities including roasting marshmallows, going through the corn maze, riding the pony, going on a hayride, and of course picking out a pumpkin. We had planned to go with friends but the flu kept them from joining us. Even though they could not join us it was a fun evening with just Lauren and I.

Shark girl

One morning last week, Lauren called for me to come and see her teeth. She told me that one of her bottom teeth had moved. I looked, and wow, her adult bottom tooth is coming in behind her baby tooth. The baby tooth is not loose at all. I need to call the dentist to see what he wants us to do. Lauren is sad that her tooth is not loose yet but she is happy she finally has an adult tooth coming in.

Fall Break - part two

Legoland

Seaworld

Brian, Diane, Sammie and Jacob joined us in San Diego for a few days. We all went to Seaworld and Legoland. Both places were decorated for Halloween. The girls had a great time and got along really well. It is fun to watch these two cousins enjoy each other.

After the beginning Fall Break with the flu, I am glad we were able to end Fall Break 2009 with so much fun.

Fall Break - part one

The beach at sunset.

San Diego Zoo

Lauren started to feeling better and so we kept our plans and went to San Diego. The first day we went to the zoo. I love the San Diego Zoo it is so much fun to just walk around there and have fun.

We went to the beach a few nights. Lauren loved running around in the sand. It was so relaxing to see the sun set on the beach.

The Wrong Way to Start Fall Break -- FLU

Lauren has Fall Break this week and I took the week off also. We had a bunch of plans to get into the Fall Season. We were going to go to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and then to see the leaves changing colors on Monday. We were also hoping to leave for California on Wednesday. Those plans changed on Friday when I came to pick Lauren up from Janine's house. She was sound asleep on the couch. (Something that she never does.) When I went to wake her up she was burning hot. So we have been dealing with high temperature, runny nose, sore throat, and cough as known as the FLU.

So instead of going to a pumpkin patch and etc. we have watched a lot of movies and t.v. shows, we have colored a lot of pictures and we have gotten a lot of sleep. I still have hopes that we can go to California if Lauren is feeling better by the weekend. We would not get to do as much as we planned but we would still be able to get out of town. I am just hoping that I don't catch it before we are to leave.
