Halloween Part II

Ok, so my pictures ended up a little out of order, sorry, you'll just have to bear with me.  We took the kids trick or treating in a nice neighborhood we found last year and we really liked, so we went back there again this year and we were not disappointed.

A lot of the houses get really into their decorations, and we really liked this house.

Kind of a cool shot.  Jared was doing a long exposure and the kids moved during it.  They are the ghosts I guess.  Oh, and Belle's pumpkin is glowing.  No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you.  We put a bike light in it to help keep track of them just in case.

My little witch walking down the street.  And look!  She is going for her nose again!

We have got to break that habit, and soon.

Indiana Jones walking down the street.

This was the best we could get of them together.  This is right before we started (I told you they were out of order) and this was the fourth shot of them together.  Belle was refusing to look at the camera so Jared asked her to show us her teeth, and this is what we got.  Of course, Caleb had been smiling perfectly for the previous photos, but he was getting a little antsy and ready to go, so as Jared took the shot, he starts swinging his pumpkin between his legs.  Oh well, at least he was still smiling!  They had a great time tonight and we have enough candy to last us for a while.  That is, as long as I keep Daddy out of it!  ;)

Halloween Part I

So Caleb's school today had a costume parade and we went to watch and hand candy out to the kids as they walked around.

So this is our problem with Isabelle lately.  She digs at her nose.  She picks out her boogers and hands them to me.  I feel so loved! 

Coming out to show off their costumes!

Caleb was Indiana Jones this year.

Daddy and Belle, she did not want her picture taken.

Dancing with the Stars Tickets!!

So I got tickets to next weeks Dancing with the Stars results show on Wednesday!  Yes, I know its normally on Tuesday, but because of the election it is being pushed to Wednesday.  I am sooooo excited!!!  I was able to request up to four tickets, so I did, but only Jared and I are going at this point!  So I have 2 extras if anyone is interested.  We will be dropping the kids off in LB at their grandmas house and going to Hollywood from there.  You have to be there by 2:30, but I am planning on being there earlier, so we are not at the back of the line.We will probably leave LB by noon, so this will be pretty much an all day thing.  If any one is interested, LET ME KNOW!!!!  The more the merrier, we would love to have friends come along.  And you don't have to be a couple!  We can take two separate individuals too, or however it works out.  If I get multiple requests, than I will hold a raffle, and my kids can be the impartial choosers!  Seriously, I am soo excited and would love to have someone come with us, maybe even carpool.  Let me know!!!

Update:  The tickets have been claimed, but if anything changes, I will post!

Free Ice Cream!!!

Just so everyone knows, if you haven't heard already..... FREE ICE CREAM!!!!!  Yep, on election day, Ben & Jerry's is giving away free ice cream from 5-8 pm.  So go to your scoop shop between 5-8 pm and get your free scoop of ice cream!  Who doesn't like free stuff?

Their First Dance

So this afternoon we are watching Beauty and the Beast when Belle runs up to me holding her Princess Belle dress.  We put it on and she proceeded to watch the movie.  After about 15 mintues, she pulls Caleb to his feet during Be Our Guest and gets him to start dancing with her.  I had the camera in front of me so I had to grab it and record a little bit of their duet.  And yes, Caleb's lips are very red.  He has very chapped lips right now he had just smeared on his Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers chapstick.  I love my cute kids!

Beach Day!

This past weekend was Jared's 10-year high school reunion!   While we didn't feel like forking out the big bucks to go to the big party at the hotel, we did meet up with a good friend who was in town for it.  Serena was a good friend of Jared's in high school, and has since become a good buddy of mine through IM'ing.   It was great to hang out with Serena and take advantage of the fun weather a tthe beach.  We may never have gotten a beach day in with Daddy during the summer, but hey, we got it in in mid-Oct!  Gotta love California!  We started the day with cinnamon rolls from Sweet Jill's on Main Street, and then we headed to the beach for play time!  Gotta love my fearless kids, they would run right into the waves, and right back out.  Neither one wanted to come out of the water.  It was great cause it wasn't crowded at all, so we were able to park ourselves right at the edge of the water and play for a couple of hours before we headed to Ruby's for lunch.  Afterwards, we drove Serena back to her parent's house where she is staying while here(she lives in Colorado with her husband) and met up with a couple of other friends before we left to go on our way, and they went to the official reunion.  And boy, were we glad we didn't shell out the money for the tickets (it would've cost us almost $200 for both of us to go), Jared talked to a friend who helped plan it and we found out that less than 50 people had RSVP'ed!  We had a great time that day, and can't wait till Serena can come visit us again!

Tagged!

So I have been tagged.  This is the sixth photo in my sixth folder.  It is Belle in December 2006.  She is 7 months old here, and in her first Christmas jammies.  Such a cute little girl!
