Halloween 2010

Here are my 3 little goblins:
Michaela is a skeleton, Madison is a vampire and thanks to Rick Riordan, Morgan is Athena.

I had to dress up for Tiny Tots. Last year I was a pirate and scared some of the kids. I figured this year I would tone it down a bit. I still managed to make some kids a bit uneasy. I think it was the black hair that freaked them out.

Egyptian Museum

We took a trip to San Jose and visited the Egyptian Museum.

Morgan checking out the Rosetta Stone.

King Tut's sarcophagus.

Michaela making friends with a mummy.

Michaela's First Fund Run

Michaela's first Fund Run was a bit chaotic at first. Some of the kindergarteners did not know what to do. When the start whistle blew they just stood there. They eventually got going and seemed to have a lot of fun.

Kindergarten 2010

My baby started Kindergarten today. She is very excited. She has been wanting to go to the "big school" like her sisters for a long time now. And after being in my preschool class for the past two years I was more than excited to send her. She loved her first day.

I was glad to have school start. My kids were all at their breaking point. They might have killed each other if they had one more week of summer vacation. Now if I could just remember all of the pick up times. Two schools and 3 different pick up times: 11:24, 1:53 and 3:00. Today was the first day and I feel like a yo-yo.

Independence Day 2010

This year we decided to go to Cal Expo to see the fireworks. It was very crowded, but it was a great show. Trying to get out of the parking lot and getting home was quite the experience.

Here we are at about 6:30 pm. Only 3 hours until they start the fireworks.

This is why you have an Uncle. Madison is busy playing with his iphone, Morgan is using him as a pillow and Michaela is poking him with various objects. I guess this is why we never get invited to "family" outings.

Finally, the fireworks show! The girls thought it was much better than the ones we do at home.

Disneyland 2010

I did not take many pictures at Disneyland. Too busy going on rides! Michaela was tall enough to go on all of the rides. Including Indiana Jones.

Here is everyone in the submarine in Finding Nemo. Madison does not look too impressed.

Everyone on Space Mountain, my least favorite ride. Michaela is hiding behind Morgan. Michaela likes Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain best. Indiana Jones and the Matterhorn were her least favorite.

And now we are on Splash Mountain. Michaela does not like this part. You can barely see her sitting next to Dale. The girls made me go first. I got pretty wet, but it felt good.

Disney Wedding

Morgan, Michaela and Madison.

Mr. and Mrs. Disney

The Disney women.

It looks like Morgan had a little too much sparkling cider.

The newlyweds.
