October 31, 2010

getting ready to head out to the towne center to go trick or treating

knocking on the door at home

look! it's daddy!

eating their first piece of candy (reeses' pieces pb cup) in the car.

bren doesn't seem too sure yet about what we are going to do...

brennan wondering why he's got a pumpkin bucket

dashiell and nana heading into the first store, radio shack.

we left nana to buy a few things that she needed at the stores around here...

if you look really closely, brennan is SMILING!!!

brennan scores some candy! yay!

second-to-the-last stop was petco. he wanted to look at the hamsters =)

costumes off, and ready to have one more piece of candy for today!

dashiell wanted his chocolate lollipop (tootsie roll pop) and brennan chose the same, but grape.

he didn't like it though, and gave it right up. =P

he hadn't put it in his mouth yet at the time i took the picture

this was actually quite gross.

derek put brennan in the tub, and then when he went back later to check on him, he had pooped in the tub AND played with it.

guess we can't leave him alone in there anymore, just in case.

mom told me later that he did that to her not too long ago too. but she was in there and took him out immediately.

hmmm...

[he felt really bad about it all, too. he was sad.]

the poop found it's way into all the toys, as well as the sides of the tub.

we didn't have enough bleach left in the house to clean the tub, so i had to head out to walmart to get some more. derek was the brave one to rinse him off and wash out the tub. i gave him a new, clean bath in our tub. thank goodness we have another!

first time in many years that i actually dressed up for halloween. actually i think maybe 10 years. i don't think i've ever dressed up at chs.

so i crocheted the hat and sweater to be edith, the middle daughter in despicable me.

gru (terry), margo (christina), edith (me) and agnes (ali) and a minion

later in the quad, with the rest of our minions (my students who dressed up to help us out!)...oops! including richard, my student teacher =)

later in the evening...we were at john's house to celebrate his birthday

jane noticed brenny was missing some hair...that it had been cut. if you look closely at the top of his head, you can actually see it. =( it's so sad. don't know if he did it himself or if dashiell did it.

had to have been the previous night or earlier today. i totally would have noticed if it had been earlier. it looks terrible (to me).

here's steven!!

oh...look at their height difference! brennan is less than one month older than steven (dob 4/12/08)

almost looks like their 2yrs-3yrs-4yrs by height...

mom (and i) finally finished this evil 550pc puzzle. it was a whole lot harder than we ever expected. ranks just below the evil sunflower one we did over the sumer.

okay, but not over the uber-evil black and white musical note one.

halloween party at brennan's library story/craft time with miss april

the best part, at least to brenny

October 25, 2010

October 24, 2010

inaugural los angeles rock and roll half marathon

the los angeles river

my new medal...it's heavy!

hmm, so which one looks better?

last week's long beach a/2 medal or this week's l.a. rock and roll medal?

matthew's team lost today, in the first round of playoffs, to the same team they beat last week.

they lost 16-8 in overtime.

their defense shut us down, pretty good. their #5, was also really good on their reverse....which we couldn't seem to stop. and then we kept running down the middle, only to be shut down as well. oh well.

matthew played a good game. no tackle, but he did pressure their QB twice. i even got one on 'film'!
