I am definitely missing California weather. It feels like forever since our vacation, but I will do a post on it anyway. We had a blast. We ate a ton of food (PF Changs 3X). I got a little burned out of greasy restaurant food, so I was ready to eat at home for sure :) We went to Knotts Berry Farm and the kids loved it. I think they liked it more than Disneyland. Shorter lines, less people, less $ - dad loved it too! We went to the beach with my friend Allyson and her kids, which is so relaxing. We spent some time with my sister (who moved back up here now). We love just hanging out at the hotel and swimming in the pool. I think it will be a yearly trip.

"I'm not moving!"
We were lucky enough to enjoy 10 days in sunny California this month. We flew into San Diego and headed up to Anaheim where we stayed for half the trip and finished off the other half in Palm Springs. The plane ride went great both ways. The only problem we encountered was when the plane landed in San Diego we waited for everyone else to get off. We had talked about that I would go first then the kids and finally Wynden. Karlee decided that she would be the first kid. Well for some reason Wynden went first and Hunter followed. Picture this: Karlee, her suitcase that we needed her to pull to make it all work because we didn't check anything, Lexi who had a backpack on and then her suitcase behind her, me holding Hallie with my suitcase in tow. We were,'t moving yet and Wynden is off the plane now. So I say to Karlee "go Karlee" and she replies "I'm not moving" and I say "why not?" and she says "I was suppose to be first!" She doesn't cry, but she doesn't move either. And for the next five minutes I try to bribe her, threaten her, anything to get her to move. There was no way I could get to her. By this time the few that hadn't hurried to get off the plane were now lined up behind us and the flight attendant is trying to get Karlee to move as well and she is not budging for nobody. Finally a flight attendant from the front of the plane comes and grabs Karlee's suitcase to carry it forward, so now I can reach her and she is of course screaming because he took her suitcase. Wynden finally figures out that we are not coming and returns to find out the problem. So we end up exiting the plane and entering the terminal with three crying kids (actually Karlee was screaming). Everyone looking at us like oh I bet that was a long horrible plane ride, but I just smiled and laughed a little.

The other day the kids and I were taking pictures of ourselves for fun. I was holding the camera and took one of Karlee, Hunter, and myself. I turned it to look and realized the kids weren't in it very good and so I said "oh shoot" and then Hunter said "too fat huh?" I guess I must say this when I see pictures of myself. What a kid!

My sweet tooth
Halloween this year was a lot of fun. The kids got cold kind of early. I was still rearing to go and fill their bags some more, but oh well. No one is happy if Karlee isn't and she gets so cold so quickly because she has no meat on her bones. Regardless We have a ton of candy now and I am having a hard time staying away from it. For a long time our candy bowl has been depleted of anything good in it, but now we have TWO bowls full of snickers, reeses, butterfingers, twix, and m & ms. I love candy bars!! I will be glad when they are gone.
