Curly Wurly

Ellie got a perm!! On Monday at 3:30 we went to Charlie's who took 4 hours (poor lady) to curl, etc Ellie's long, thick hair. Ellie was a trooper and endured the process without too much complaint, although she mentioned that her bum had fallen asleep after about the second hour :) We're still trying to figure out how to work with the curly wurlies but so far we're loving it!

Happy Halloween!

We had a blast on Halloween! Mia was a witch, Ellie was a
ladybug, Rod was a big
giant, pink whoopie
cushion (laughed until I almost peed myself) and I was a "serial killer". Get it? Hey, it was easy, o.k? We went with Troy and Janae and the girls to Santa Clara. Rod talked Mia into going into the Haunted House which she of course) came out of screaming. But now, a week later, she's talking about it like it was the coolest thing ever. Go figure. Ellie didn't set a foot near the place (since she got scared out of her mind after Rod talked her into doing it 2 years ago...) We stayed outside and ate food that a wonderful group of people put on every year. The girls got a tonne of candy and loved hanging out with their cousins. I have since eaten all the good stuff from their Halloween stash and am eagerly anticipating next year!
