Coming soon…

We’ve never had a complaint about trips to the museum. You’d think they’d tire of it after years of visits and revisits, but it’s remained a family favorite. I have way too many pictures of them here too, but we always take more.

THOSE SOCKS.It was a really slow day, and the only person we repeatedly bumped into was this cute little nun who was power-walking the whole place!

The kids love watching I Love Lucy, but we had no idea that Desilu Productions also produced Star Trek?! You do learn something new everyday.

We’ve got several other LA outings coming up as we just got tickets to The Huntington and LACMA. We’ve never taken the kids to either one! Such a shame, because I know they will love them both. Trying to decide if we should wait a while for the roses to bloom at the gardens? Anyone know the when the most roses are blooming?!?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

(“Garden” By Noah Gunderson)

I was completely in love with the girls’ idea to be fairies this year, and decided that I’d be a gardener (just to keep the group costume idea going). The boys bailed on dressing up at all early on, but then Cruz recanted. He doesn’t want to be as cool as Jude, he wants candy. I promised him a costume that would get all the candy and more ($5 to be specific) if he’d be a gnome, because every magical garden needs one. And he had zero costume ideas anyway. And I reallllyyyyy wanted someone to wear these eyebrows!!!

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about and that was the beginning of fairies. -J.M. Barrie

We’re off to trick-or-treat with friends! xxoo

When you have five minutes to throw together a creepy doll costume, do it. And take lots of pictures.
