Travel Town

Last Sunday was Chad's birthday and he really, truly, wanted to spend it outdoors with the kids. :-)  ( so sweet...).  It was a GORGEOUS California day.. about 70 degrees, sunny and clear, and not a cloud in the sky.. so we took the kids to somewhere I have been itchin' to go.. Travel Town at Griffith Park.  It was really fun...the best part is.. it's FREE!!  The only thing that cost money is the little 3/4 train you can ride on ($2.00) a person and whatever food or snacks you want to buy.. so great!  We ran around exploring all the old locomotives and then treated ourselves to ride on the train.  The kids loved it and I have to say we did too!  Here are some pics from our morning at Travel Town...we highly recommend it!  xoxo

Halloween 2009

Well,  Halloween was a blast this year!  ( it is my FAVORITE holiday after all).. we had good food, good company , and lots of fun trick-o-treating..Olivia definitely enjoyed knocking on doors and waiting for the loot and Finn really enjoyed following along and then trying to climb into peoples houses.. ( no joke!).. I must have had to retrieve him out of like 4 or 5 houses... *sigh*.. Luckily all of our neighbors are easy going... ha!   And one more nice thing... Olivia has only asked about her candy ONCE since Halloween.. good thing too cuz her daddy and I have been munching on it every night after bed... hee..hee.. Here are some pics that I took of them in their costumes before Halloween...( my halloween pics didn't come out too well, bad lighting)... They were Woody and Jesse from Toy Story...Olivia loved her costume and wants to wear it all the time...Finn tolerated his but actually didn't mind it too much....score one point for Mommy!!  Happy Halloween!!!
