busy, busy, busy!

Well, I thought I would have posted before now but as you can see, I've been busy. This week looks like another full one so I figured if I didn't post now, I never would.
Last weekend was my sister's birthday. her and I took the kids to Disneyland, minus Audrey. Her husband and Robert were both busy, so it worked out pretty good. Robert watched Audrey for me. We had a good time, we got there shortly after they opened and headed straight for the Haunted Mansion. I had been talking to the boys all week about riding it, and they did! Harrison didn't mind it, but Charlie was a little freaked out. I had never seen it decorated for Halloween, and it was wonderful. It is decorated right now like The Night Before Christmas. We rode that, Casey Jr's Train, the Merry-Go Round, the Tea Cups, Finding Nemo (another ride I had never been on), Buzz Blasters, and then we walked over to California Adventure. It was hot, hot, hot! California Adventure has a darling area called Candy Corn Acres. There are candy corns everywhere. We had lunch then went on a couple of rides. Maddie and I went on my favorite, The Tower of Terror. We all saw Crush from Finding Nemo, we were going to go on the new Toy Story Ride, but the line was too long. I think Chris had a good time, people were constantly telling her, "Happy Birthday!"
The next day, the five of us went to the pumpkin patch at Cal Poly Pomona with Harrison's Boy Scout Troop. It was fun, and packed with people. By some miracle, we found our group and proceeded to walk around the patch. The boys both picked out some pumpkins and then we were off.
The Monday before that, our homeschool group had a craft day get together. The boys made some cute bird feeders and other crafts. It's always nice to get out with our group.
This week we have a Halloween party with the Boy Scouts, and a field trip to the Port of Los Angeles, and of course, trick-or-treating! This year I have a Clone Trooper Rex and Anakin coming along. (Harrison and Charlie). Whew! Have a good week. :)

The photos are out of order, but you can figure them out. If you look closely you can see Maddie and I in the second row of Tower of Terror. I refuse to pay 16.95 for their photo!
