A Quick Trip Home

Home for a few days to visit our favorite people.  Then back to LA before catching a flight to Sydney Australia!

Happy Weekend

Pumpkin Patch

Halloween is in full swing around here and we had a lot of Halloween related fun while Nanna was visiting.
Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch, carving pumpkins and making our entry spooky with spiderwebs and jack-0-lanterns.

We attempted family photos and did manage to get an awkward shot before the kids disappeared...one at a time.

Face painting was fun and they went for the old stand-by.  TIGERS.

The photo above cracks me up.  Notice all the camera men in the background?  The kids picked their pumpkins and we were getting our last shot before leaving when I noticed all the photographers back there...what is going on??? Oh, its LA.  Paparazzi. They were following Kyle Richards and her daughter (she is on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and is the Hilton sister's aunt.  Some of you may know her.  I had to go home and look her up)  Fun experience.

Palm Springs Getaway

I mentioned we slipped away for a few days last weekend to Palm Springs while the kids were totally spoiled by their aunt.  Palm Springs was a nice quick getaway, albeit HOT - it was 111 degrees on October 1.  We didn't mind as we spent most the time hanging by the pool.  We stayed at the Viceroy Palm Springs and the grounds were gorgeous and so quiet while we were there.  It was perfect!

An unexpected sighting of the Marylin Monroe statue that is in Palm Springs through June 2013.

Disneyland...take 2

We have started this month with so much fun!  Reinforcements are starting to arrive in the form of family and friends.  We have visitors or are traveling every week in October before we head overseas.  It will be a whirlwind!  The fun part is that while the kids were enjoying trips to the beach and aquarium this week, we got to sneak off to Palm Springs, but only after we conquered Disneyland once again... 

Lots of kisses from Mickey
