Woo hoo! A video!!!

Let's see if I can make this work... I caught PA making up a little song yesterday with my flip camera...if you don't have one of these, I highly recommend! Ours was less than $100 at Costco...it holds about 1/2 hour of video and is tiny and super easy to use...I think it would be perfect for budding Spielbergs ;)

Aurora loves to cook...and sing!

Breakfast by Poppa

Aurora is into "scary stuff" lately and with Halloween fast approaching, her obsession is in full swing. Every where we go, she is distracted by all the spooky decorations and costumes. Even breakfast becomes an adventure when it's a chocolate chip eggo turned into a bat with a whipped cream body...

SoCal Wildfires-we are ok!

You know, just in case anyone is worried or anything...we are fine, here in Mission Valley...we are about 2 miles from the Qualcomm Stadium evacuation center. The sky is still pretty blue and I am just starting to smell smoke and a tiny bit of ash...

My friend Jessica took her kids and DH and left Escondido early Monday AM. She said they had three hours to load up the van and they are with friends in Temecula. Shawn is not at work and PA's school is closed too. I am going to work on the girls Halloween costumes today and just carry on I guess. Shawn is going to donate blood and some supplies and tents.

Last night, I went to the grocery store...almost ALL the water was gone. We are fine and not expecting to evacuate or anything, but please keep us all in your thoughts :)

If you feel the need to do more than that, I suggest donating through a reputable agency like the Red Cross.
