Happenings

A few things we've been up to this week.......

1) Sporting some Jazz gear

{we got to meet Bear & he gave us some cool Jazz stuff}

2) Playing Hide & Seek

{the kid's got some sweet hiding places!}

3) Eating Apples

{give him an apple & he's good to go for hours. He'll just walk around the house all day munching on the thing!}

4) Being Thankful

{we all get to take turns writing something until Thanksgiving. Guess who's thankful for apples?}

5) Making posters

{the wish one is my fav!}

6) Hosting Gourmet Night

{a blast, as usual!}

Two Things:

1) I cannot wait for all this election business to become old news. I am sick of hearing about B.O.'s new dog, Oprah crying on mystery man's shoulder during B.O.'s acceptance speech, etc. etc. etc. Let's get back to the real news. You know, like what in the heck is Britney up to lately?

2) I find it ridiculous that there is a huge protest going on right now outside the Salt Lake LDS Temple.........
a: Latter-Day Saints are not the only ones who voted to pass Prop. 8 {amazing, I know}. I haven't heard of any protests outside Catholic churches, some of which have come out in support of Prop. 8, too, as well as in support of the LDS church.
b: they're protesting in Utah. we didn't even vote on Prop. 8 for heaven's sake. i guess they ran out of places to protest in Cali....
c: matt is downtown & is stuck in traffic because all of the roads are blocked off.

i'm done.

I Love John Williams....

....but not as much as he does {i am somewhat jealous of the amazingness of it all}

Got tickets?

I do!

{thanks mom!!}

A Light....

IT PASSED!!
{in California, Florida, AND Arizona I might add}



I'm glad to have something to celebrate today......{NO, I am NOT celebrating B.O. (as alayna calls him) as Pres.}. Proposition 8 passing has restored a little of my faith in the citizens of this great country. We'll see how the next 4 yrs. go. I'm praying it's not a total disaster. We shall see......

One Word....

AMAZING.

VOTE!!

Is it so wrong?

Is it wrong that Lincoln wants to play this every day?

And that I let him?

And that he's good at it?!

*note to self: next time we're at the library, get Lincoln his own game.

Stories

Here are a few stories that Kensie has written lately:

Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween this year! Kensie was a Japanese girl, Lincoln was a Japanese boy, and Jackson was both a Japanese boy & a monkey {he was just so cute that he had to wear both}. I had fun helping at both Lincoln & Kensie's school parties where we made eyeballs, witches brew, and caramel apples to eat, played fun Halloween games, and made crafts. The kids made a fort in the backyard {I was praising the dreamy weather....finally a Halloween without frigid temps!......little did I know.....} before feasting on ghostly pizza {with glowing eyeballs, of course. They can't get enough!} and cupcakes. Daddy took the kids trick-or-treating. Just as they stepped out the door it started pouring rain! They grabbed some umbrellas & were off. Luckily it wasn't cold, just raining. They came back with quite a haul!!
