The kids have NOT adjusted well to the time difference!! Yesterday, we were up at 4:00am and today 5:15am. My girlfriend, Michelle, told me it takes one day per hour of time difference to adjust so that means we'll be getting up at 6:30am!! Wahoo!! (that is sarchasm!) So, michelle, how long does it take for kids to adjust to "Vacation time"? I need them to sleep until 10 and go to bed at 7pm!!
Day 1 -- We spent roaming the beach in La Jolla ...then we got rained out. "It hasn't rained in La Jolla since March" (to quote my bro-in-law). It wasn't really raining but it was misting, overcast, and too cold to continue our picnic. So, we headed to basecamp, ate, and then headed to the Scripps Aquarium.
Day 2 -- Legoland!! Fabulous, fabulous time!! Then off to Ruby's Diner for a surprise birthday treat for Noah....he turned 7 today!!

catching up....
Ok, so I am going to end up going a bit out of order. I know my family is still waiting to see pixs of the kids in their halloween costumes but right now, I am updating my blog from sunny San Diego, CA. I don't have a way to resize pixs to post now so will have to update and post pixs when I get home.
We survived our flight out. The kids were great. The only bump we really experienced was that 2 of our 3 dvd players wouldn't work. ARGH...but I will say, the kids kind of took it in stride.
Hannah was funny though, she got antsy about 2 hours into the trip and asked, "are we there yet?" ... which of course we weren't we still had 4 hours!! When we told her that, she said, "then, I just want to go home." I wonder how the other 200 passengers would have responded when we told the pilot that he just had to turn us around and all those going to CA were going to be SOL. I will say though, if anyone is capable of convincing a pilot to turn a plane around (w/o bodily harm to him), it would be Hannah!!

Still not Thawed
Guess where I went????
Hint: With LOTS of "friends", say like 40,000
Have you guessed? I went to the Phillies World Series game with my husband last night!! It was CRAZY there. My husband is a HUGE Philly sports fan, and when I say HUGE, I mean there probably isn't anyone alive who is as big of a Philly sports fan as he. He has tickets to everything!!
Anyway, he couldn't have been more excited that the Phillies are in the World Series. Not only might they win another penant (he was at the 1980 series as well!!) but this year he got to take his son, his uncle, his dad, and of course me. We didn't all go to the same game but I am certain each of us had a Great time!! Now if you didn't watch the game last night, it was not your typical cool night at the ballpark. It was 42 degrees and POURING!! So not fun when you are in seats NOT under cover!! Fortunately, we both semi-planned for it so it wasn't so bad...and being a diehard fan, we stayed at our seats watching until they put the tarp on the field.
In the end, they ended up postponing the rest of the game until tomorrow night. I'm not sure if I will go back for the game or if someone else will go in my place but it was well worth the frozen fingers and drenched clothes!!
GO PHILLIES!!

Call Me Jack...
as in Jack-O-Lantern. That is what the kids decided to name the pumpkin we carved this weekend. Nice and original, right? It does make me laugh when they put one and one together and think they are the first to ever come up with the idea. A pumpkin named "Jack", who would have thought? LOL.
I had my son a pen and paper and told him and the girls to go draw Jack's face. The rules as I stated in a previous post are that they must agree on all parts of it. Unfortunately, I am not much of an artist so they also have to stick with squares, circles, and triangles. After much debate the kids decided on this ----
We had a great time digging the guts out and getting all messy!!
