Can't think of a good title :)

Halloween is almost here! After discovering that there are much fewer choices for boys than girls, Derrick has decided to be a Hot Wheels racing dude and Danae is going to be her favorite princess Cinderella. After being nagged 5 million times a day on when Halloween is....we made a countdown calendar and there's only 9 days left!

So far we are all good here, we've been taking advantage of living near "activities". We went to the beach and had a blast! Leroy finally got Derrick in the ocean splashing and kicking the waters butt. Danae wanted nothing to do with the water and was content helping me make a sand turtle. She did however love to see the surfers out there. It's her "new thing", she wants to surf all the time. We come across random things on our adventures, and one thing this past weekend was hot air balloon rides! We were on the 126 headed to Ventura and right there smack dab on the right side of the road....a hot air balloon giving rides above the valley.



We only have 11 months to go for my one year "contract" that I have to stay in Fillmore! It's horrible when you just want to get out of a place. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to basically fight to get hrs every week, but it makes it so much more worse.

I finished our Christmas cards! All 41 of them, made by hand, each one embossed and cut by my own little hands.....I refuse to support Hallmark when I can make cute cards too :)




Some things we've learned while down in SoCal:
~Like Dorothy said, "There's no place like home"
~You can't make a u-turn at intersections down here, it totally sucks
~Drivers seriously don't know how to enter onto a freeway going highway speed in Ventury Co.
~Fresno has the best craft stores in the world
~You can find more Hot Wheels in the central valley rather than LA
~You never know how much you had till it's gone


Well, I think that's all for now....at least all my brain can think of :)
