Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our family to yours. We had a great celebration this year. Our kiddos have been able to wear this year's costumes quite a few times at various Halloween celebrations. Owen was excited to be a SD Padre (his little league uniform from last season!), Elizabeth was a traditional Polish dancer (Mommy's costume from when she was a little girl!) and Adam was Thomas the Tank Engine (one of Owen's old costumes!). We did not have to spend a cent on costumes this year. Woo hoo!
Earlier today, Mom and Dad got to go out on a breakfast/bike ride date for Mom's birthday! It was such a treat. The kids came home from school and we also had a small family celebration at dinner. It was a delightful day for everyone!
We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween as well!

We love Fall! Have you been booed this Halloween?

Our family loves to see the seasons changing. Not that we have much of it down here, but there are traces of pumpkins growing and leaves turning color. It is fun to see our kids' excitement when fall holidays start approaching. Halloween is the first one on our list and its so fun to prepare for it. The pumpkin seeds we planted actually grew into pumpkins! Other things like cucumbers and watermelons have been popping up too. The work we put in during late spring actually paid off! Happy Fall to everyone!
On another Halloween note: We got booed last night! It was hilarious! Our neighborhood is sharing Halloween cheers through this great website. Check it out and spread some cheer in your neighborhood: www.beenbooed.com

Fall Break and Mommy finally gets to walk!!

 Mommy got the doctor's approval to walk with care so we packed up and headed to our pre-accident vacation plans: Disneyland for two days and our annual beach house trip at Mission Beach! It was sure nice for us to get out as family after being home bound for a while. We had fun family and friend visits along they way: Jessica and her precious kiddos at CA Adventure, The Boldt Family and Grammy and Papa at the beach house. What a memorable time we had together!

**One highlight at the beach house: O and E decided to sell lemonade, so we bought a mix and cups from Costco and they made $92!!! $12 went back to mom and dad for the products. The kids got to pocket the rest. We could not believe the response from customers on the boardwalk. People were stopping by and just handing them dollars and not taking lemonade.:) The cute factor played a big part.:)
