crazy time

going on day five of having the kids home. friday and monday were planned days off due to parent teacher conferences. but today school was cancelled due to high winds, the fires and intermittent power outages. scary. i'm glad that they are home with me because the wind is cranking and when you step outside you can smell the smoke. the closest fire to us is the stevenson's ranch one. not TOO close, but close enough. i think what is more of a threat for us right now are these winds that make the whole house creak and shake. i love october but this strange weather is very unpleasant.

friday i took the boys, and myself, to get flu shots. and of course on the car ride home andrew starts sniffling and not feeling so well. now sofia has it too. she is scheduled for her shot on thursday at her 2 yr. check up


here are a few pics from our disney trick or treat night. had so much fun getting candy, going on tower of terror with becky, and watching jordan and sofia dance and dance and dance. at that point andrew was so sick he was asleep.

then we had a little birthday party for sofia and jeff on saturday.


sunday we had no power, which was actually kind of fun. no tv, no clocks or computers. just hanging out playing baseball in the backyard, reading. we did go to my parents house for dinner and a card game. by the time we got home the power was back on. i was kind of looking forward to lighting candles and enjoying the peace.

these conditions are kind of scary. trying not to read too much into it. but hoping that it goes away just as quickly as it came. melissa - are you guys home? stay safe everyone. love the b's
