Our Nightmare at Frightmares!

So...we took the kids to Lagoon's Frightmares last weekend. We decided to go last minute and the plan was for me and the kids to meet Jason at Lagoon since it is on his way home from work. After a busy day, I scrambled to get the kids ready and everything we would need for the evening and hurried out the door. We got there and put the girls on one ride and then it started getting really cold. I went to get the girls jackets and realized I had left them by the door at home! I knew the girls would be crushed if we left after just getting there, so I spent over a hour going to all the stores in Lagoon looking for warm jackets. FYI... Lagoon does not carry jackets for toddlers! Luckily, my sister Jen showed up with her kids and had a extra jacket we put on Ellie. But Megan was complaining about how cold she was. (She refused to wear my jacket)

So we had to buy this...

It's just what we wanted... A $25.00 pink sweat shirt with Lagoon written across the front. A sweater that won't really fit her until shes sixteen...but she was warm and fun to cuddle with and that is all that matters!

Isnt she adorable? I love my Meggie Sue in her "sweatshirt dress"

The things kids say...

Before we left on our trip to Disneyland this year I bought the girls some princess dresses that they could wear around the theme park. They loved them. The girls really enjoyed meeting the Disney princesses, needless to say anything princess related is now a big hit at our house. Ellie was Belle and Megan was Cinderella. Today I was explaining to them that they would be wearing those same dresses for Halloween. (another reason I had bought them) That really excited Ellie - she pondered and said "OK Mom, I'll be Belle and Meggie can be Cinderella...Mom, you be Snow White and Dad...I want Dad to be Mulan." Wouldn't Jason make a beautiful Mulan? Ellie thinks so!

A pumpkin (and snowman) season

We had such a fun family night on Monday - we carved pumpkins with the girls. Ellie named her pumpkin Light (?) and Meggie named her pumpkin Dora. We even carved a tiny pumpkin for CJ. Ellie named CJ's pumpkin "My Little Pony" (we hope when CJ is old enough to name his own pumpkin he won't be naming it My Little Pony)

Daddy built a snowman with the girls Sunday afternoon. Meggie named the snowman Toy. "Toy" has since disappeared - but we appreciate that he watered our lawn before he left.

I always worried they would go after the same boy one day!

Our Family Vacation: Disneyland

Though exausting...the girls had an amazing time.

Our Family Vacation: The Beach

We had so much fun on our trip to California this last week. Visiting the beach was a definite highlight of the vacation. The kids loved it! Jason and I both agree that we could live the beach lifestyle, it was beautiful.

Even little CJ got his toes wet.
