Silly faces,

hide and seek,

and good times...

with a good friend!

Hampster Ball...

...turns my kids into zombies.

And for this reason they don't play it that often!

Halloween Fun

Ok, here are the pictures from Halloween. My little pirate and Indiana Jones love to pose. I should have taken some without their pumpkins and I didn't get any from our night out but oh well, I'm not a photographer.

Yesterday was a crazy day. We went down to Orange County after we dropped the kids off at school. After brunch with Joanna and Tommy we headed to Camp Pendleton for Tyler to pick up a part of his uniform for the ball. The traffic was so lame and it took us forever to get home! We picked up the kids and Tyler started getting the chills. We got home and took his temp and he had a 103 fever! After a good night sleep he's feeling much better but I still think he's crazy for going out to set up the soccer field today.

Today is Kayley's last game. As far as I know her team has won all games but two. I know we're not supposed to keep score, but I do. It's amazing the improvement I've seen in all the girls as they practiced and learned to work as a team. Kayley is amazing at dribbling and stealing the ball. She isn't the fastest but she sure has fancy footwork! I plan on getting a video of her that I'll post later.

Besides the game (and the party after), we have nothing on our agenda for today and we're going to take a looong nap! Hooray for daylight saving time tomorrow. Now if only my kids will sleep in!

This was my view at lunch time today. With Tyler by my side we sat on the beach, consumed smoothies, talked and enjoyed the beautiful summer fall weather. Ah, what a day!

Ten On Tuesday

1. I'm feeling much better today.

2. Tyler is really blessing me by doing so much while I'm at work. Today he did all the grocery shopping. I love my husband!

3. Halloween was very fun. Kayley ended up being Indiana Jones and Cole was a pirate. We went trick or treating for about an hour and the kids really enjoyed it. Then we went to trunk or treat at First Assembly. I took some pictures but I'll post them later.

4. Tonight we start a class at church. I'm very glad to finally get involved in something besides church on Sundays.

5. I wish I were in a sundress and flip flops, drinking a smoothie while walking on the beach. Instead I'm indoors, freezing from the air conditioning and wearing fancy clothes and high heels. Oh well, at least I can see the palm trees swaying outside the door.

6. I just took a typing test and found I average 50 words per minute.

7. I spent some time reading up on the candidates and measures for today. There are so many people on the ballot that it's a little overwhelming. I think I'm convinced that most of the propositions are just a scam for politicians to carry out their agendas.

8. 11 days until the ball! Man, I gotta find shoes and a clutch to go with my dress.

9. I introduced Tyler to Modern Family and he loves it! Now onto Glee...

10. Tyler went into the doctor for x-rays last week. Everything is looking great and he's healing much faster than she had expected at this point. He was given the ok to to start running again! I'm amazed by Tyler's attitude toward getting better. He's stronger than I am in that way, that's for sure.

A Weird Day

Today hasn't been especially stressful. It has been a normal Monday. Besides the fact that the internet was down all day at work and I'm slightly annoyed by someone I work with it's been uneventful. But I got home today and I just want to scream. I can barely breathe and my body just does not want to function. I don't get it.

So I think I'll go to the gym and work out all this anxiety.

I hate days like this.
