California Wildfires

Well, we moved from Kansas and no longer have to worry about Tornado's but now we have to worry about earthquakes and wildfires. Just a couple of hours ago we looked out the window and saw the smoke coming from a fire here on Camp Pendleton. Currently it is on the back side of the base but moving our direction. We are currently experiencing a red flag warning and Santa Anna winds. I'm not too worried though, I have faith that the wonderful and brave firefighters out there are going to get this thing under control. The last picture is of the "dipper" planes that pick up water from the ocean and drop it on the fire. They are flying right over our house.

Halloween

We decorated a little this year for Halloween. We bought this big light up spider and Geno came up with the great idea to make it look like the spider was getting the kids. So, Sophia has already been spun up into the web and Marcus is cowering on the bench! :)

Brick or Treat

We went to Brick or Treat this weekend at Legoland. The kids dressed up in their costumes. Marcus is a vampire and Sophia Belle this year. They had a great time watching the bands, trick or treating down the special trail and dancing along to the great music.

Kids in the Kitchen

I take Sophia to Mommy and Me preschool twice a week. Occasionally they meet on a Friday and have Kids in the kitchen. We went this morning and Sophia got to make her own Chef hat and then make a witches hat full of Reese's Pieces. Thankfully she didn't get too dirty.

Playing in the rain

Here in sunny Southern California we don't get too much rain. The other night we had about 10 minutes of rain in the evening and the kids were so excited! I let them play in the rain with their umbrellas for a while. They had a lot of fun.

Bed Head

Sophia's hair is usually out of control but this morning she woke up with the worst case of bed head I have every seen! I told her to make her bad hair day face and this is what she did!
