Paradise Cove Breakfast

We had such a fun weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Strong. They came the weekend before Thanksgiving. We went to Paradise Cove in Malibu for breakfast and then walked along the beach. We were so excited to find that it was low tide and we could see the tide pools. That was a first for us. We had a great time with them, thanks for coming!!

The God of Chaos

This is what Paige has been learning about in school!



Seth was the god of chaos.

Need I say more!!!

Seth represented everything that threatened harmony in Egypt.

Appearance:
Man with the head of a 'Seth animal' (unidentifiable)

Back to the 80's

Ready for the dance

I wear my sunglasses at nightAir Guitar competition

Break dancing in front of everyone!
Vanilla Ice, The Cure, and KISS what a combo

Seth wasn't supposed to be Vanilla Ice my friend just thought that was the look :)
The totally rad moms

We had an awesome time at the Mother/Son Back to the 80's dance last night. They had great music and everyone had a great time. Seth partied like a rock star, literally, dancing, singing and playing the guitar. It was so fun to see all the moms and how they decided to dress for the 80's! The worst part was going to the restaurant and having everybody stare at you, although my friend got a lot more looks than I did. And both our outfits were bought at Target in the last month, that tells you that the 80's are back! The funniest part was after the dance when we went to 7-11 at 10pm and a 17 yr old girl came up to me and told me she loved my outfit :/ We were sad Paige and Matt didn't get to go the next night since she is in Middle school now, but when we got home she had surprised Matt by decorating the living room 80's style the best she could.

Whipping Winds

It was SO windy today. After I dropped the kids off at school I was doing something in the kitchen and noticed my big patio umbrella had blown over and out from the hole in the center of the table. I then turn to look out my other window and notice my whole table top shattered on the ground. What a mess!!! Luckily I had been wanting to get rid of the set for the past year. This made the decision easy. Just a lot to clean up, luckily Matt was still home. Thanks Matt!!

Soccer Rain

Last Saturday Paige's 8am game avoided the rain, but not Seth's. Half way through his 10am game it started pouring. It lasted just long enough to get everyone a little wet, but not enough to call the game, luckily! During the rain the other team scored 2 goals and would have won, but our team pulled ahead once the rain stopped. Last game is this Saturday, great season Super Mario Bros.

Something New!!

MUTE THE MUSIC!

We finally bit the bullet and bought a piano. Paige is playing so well and enjoying it that we couldn't put it off any longer. Playing a keyboard just isn't the same when you can play the things she can. And she will only get better. It will be nice to have music in our house. We just need to keep other children from banging on it (Seth) :) Isn't technology great. She played this tonight and now you are seeing it. Gotta love it!
WOW! I guess I should check the video I am uploading before I waste 20 minutes. Here is what I came up with! LOL!! I left it on because it made me laugh at how dumb I am, and to boot it's a video I didn't even mean to take. :(((((



Let's try this again! :)

Rockstar Dad

I got a better picture of Seth in his whole ice wolf ninja costume. (Josh can borrow it:)
Our Rocker Dad

Matt is always such a good sport to wear whatever we buy him for Halloween! This year we went with the mohawk, nose, lip and ear piercings, studded collar, and studded gloves. He looked awesome! People didn't even recognize him and children would stare as he walked by. It was great. Too bad he and Paige can't go to the Father/Daughter dance at the Elementary school this year, the theme is 80's, and this would have been perfect.

Happy Halloween!

Shadow Ninja and Genie
Me the Halloween Freak

Halloween was really fun this year. We even avoided the rain. I hasn't rained here in months and the day of Halloween was very dark and cloudy, but it held off until the next day. We went to our neighbors for pizza and then hit the streets. Crazy enough, my kids actually asked us to go home after and hour or so. We didn't complain because they were already loaded up on candy. It doesn't end there, tonight is our trunk or treat. More candy, yay :( I took a picture of Matt, but his wig doesn't show well in the dark, so I will take another tonight. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
