Ok I know these pictures are so totally out of order. Everytime I sit down to update my blog I get so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. So these are some of the things that have happened in the last month or so. There, now I can start fresh. I feel so much better!

Walt Disney

Owen's class had to do an oral report about an American Hero. He chose Walt Disney. They had to dress up as their person and present the report as if they were that person. After the report they had a question/ answer session. The kids all ask really hard questions and it's ok to say "I don't know" which most of the kids did. Owen, however, answered every question. Most of the time he was just making stuff up but he was very convincing! One girl asked him how old he was when he decided to build Disneyland. He said "80 or 30" haha. Someone else asked how many Mickey Mouse's he made and he said 1,ooo! The kids all thought that was really cool and his teacher thought he was adorable. He was so cute I wanted to cry.

Beautiful Ava

For those of you who don't know, Ava is obsessed with makeup. I know she is so young for this obsession, but I had to buy her her own lip gloss after she almost poisoned herself using my reed diffuser as lipstick. So today she was playing quietly in Jack's room. I went to check on her and this is what I found. That is my mascara all over her head! She thought she looked so beautiful. Of course it is water proof, but I found that baby wipes are the best makeup removers! While I was scrubbing her head I also realized she had my not so cheap face lotion on. I love this girl!!!!!

Dr. Seuss's Birthday

Today Ethan and Owens school celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday. Last night at about 7:00 they both decided they wanted to dress up as The Cat in The Hat. These are the "costumes" I came up with. I think they look so cute! They had a blast at school and neither one of them lost their tails. They also got to bring their favorite Dr. Seuss book to school to read to the kindergartners.

All of Rite Aid's Christmas stuff was 90% off today. I got $143.34 worth of stuff for $18.34!!!! So Exciting

Legoland

We decided to take a mini road trip today. I read about a cool artistic park in Escondido that's free and a cool learning experience. After driving for 1 1/2 hours we got to the park and it was closed. Ever seen National Lapoon's vacation? There was no moose to punch. So now we are in San Diego with nothing to do. Devin makes some calls and looks up stuff on his phone and finds out that if you go to Legoland after 3:00 you get in for half price plus you get a free ticket to come back another day!!! We were soooo happy!
This is the kids at the park, they were happy even though we couldn't get into the part of the park we came for.
Legoland was so cool. They even had a tree made out of legos.
This is Sassy showing off her new boots. LOVE THEM!
This is the boys posing with a Bionicle. That is the coolest kind of lego for those of you aren't in touch with legos.
And this is me and Jack with a Lego mom. I have alot more pictures and videos, but i'm tired so this is all you get for now.

Owen's Recital

Tonight was Owen's 2nd recital. He was totally cool not nervous at all, I wish I felt as calm. This is him as we were walking out the door.
It was dark with a few lights on stage so this is the best picture I got of him. He did so good. I had to fight back tears the whole time. What a rockstar, I couldn't be any prouder!!!
This is O with his drum teacher, Billy. Such a great teacher and a great guy.
These are all the other drum students. It was so much fun to watch all the other kids play, but really none of them came close to Owen!
