Daddy's in BIG trouble!

Sean has been talking about cutting a hole in the downstairs closet (next to the stairs) to see if there was any room to store our holiday stuff. Just his Halloween stuff alone is located in 4 different storage areas throughout the house. He finally decided to cut the hole yesterday and we found out that there was a good amount of room. Kate had come out of her room to see what all the noise was. She placed her hands on her hips and told Sean he was going to be in BIG trouble because you can't put holes in the walls. Kate also informed him that Mommy is gonna be so mad at him that he would have to go to time out! I was laughing so much along with Sean that he had to stop what he was doing just so he could catch his breath. He told what he was doing and what it was for. She asked if she could help and did so by holding the flashlight. When he was all done she went in there a told us that this is her and Bubba's new hide-a-way. Sean & I decided that once we sheet rock & mud it that they could paint it what ever they wanted.

Here is the picture that was taken after he took out the sheet rock out of the closet! There is some more room to the right which you can't see. There is enough room for 3 kids to sleep there comfortably! I don't know if I like the idea of having people under my stairs!

Halloween... No Camera

Yep..... My camera decided that on Halloweeen it would not work anymore! This is Sean's favorite holiday and he spends most of the months before halloween making his decorations for the front yard and the foyer. All day long he was waiting for the rain to stop so he could put his dtuff outside, which finally happened right before the sun went down. As he was setting up I was getting the kids ready, and was going to take pictures when the darn camera decided not to work (YES I had charged it!!). So I went to get Sean's Nikon, but come to find out we did not have any film! Well once again my Mom to the rescue and she loaned us my dad's digital camera! In case you have noticed my mom ROCKS......... as for our camera it is back to Best Buy for them to fix. The kids and I went trick or treating with our family friends Chris and one of her sons Nate (who happens to be one of Jake's best friends and Kate current boyfriend, per her). We had a lot of fun in her neighborhood and seeing all the deco's. Sean opted to stay home and hand out candy and watch all of his horror movies, though he only was able to watch 30 mins of one due to Kate getting tired.

We hope all of you had a great Halloween :)

The Misfits

We are half way through our soccer season this year and our team the Sunrise Misfits are doing great! So far we are 3-0-1 and we are only getting better. The boys this year play very well together and are a great team. This season we have 7 returning players and 8 new. It is so much fun to watch them all play. I think having Jake is all of those soccer camps this summer really paid off. He much more confident and assure of himself that no matter what happens in the game he is proud of himself and we are too.Next year we will be twice as busy with soccer since Jake will hopefully go to U12 Boys select and Kate will be U6 mix. She is already Sean's 3rd asst. coach and has been practicing with the boys. We are so proud of Misfits especially our #9!

Disneyland A GoGo

So our trip to Disneyland was AWESOME! We had a lot of fun there this year as we do every time we go but to see the kids excitement made it so much fun. Sean & I were talking the night before we left and I told him that I think we may have a little daredevil on our hands with Kate. "Price" is always right ;) Jake tends to be like Sean with roller coasters (does not care for them) where Kate is like me (loves 'em). They both loved Star Tours, Pirates, & Haunted Mansion (which was done up as A Nightmare before Christmas), among many others. But little Tink (Kate's nickname) wanted to go on BIG rides so we decided to take her on Big Thunder (Jake opted to sit out with his Taw, my mom). She LOVED it so and told us along with our niece Leah that she wanted to get wet on a ride. Well an employee heard her and told us she is tall enough for Splash Mountain..... my first thought UMM NO! But the lady said that she would be safe and would really like it. So Sean limped his way over to get fast passes for myself, Leah, Kate, and himself (again Jake hung out with his Taw). So this time "Price" was wrong. The entire time we were in line she kept telling anyone and anyone who would listen that this is so exciting she is gonna get really wet! So we get on and Sean sits in the very back with her while the niece and I sit in front of them. For most of the ride she was standing up because of her height and was squealing with delight. When the drop came all you can hear is Sean saying "Sit Down" and Kate yelling "wee dis is so great and I get all wet I LOBE this ride". They take a picture of you when you go down the drop but every time we went on it all you see is Sean and this little patch of red hair in his armpit! Not much of a picture. Jake had a great time as well and faced his fear of heights and the unknown. He went on more rides then we thought he would and told us that he will go on more next time we go. He love Buzz Lightyear the most since he was able to shoot against his dad and a few times beat him. We promised Sean we would not tell anyone (oops). But poor Sean and Jake they both were having some discomfort with Sean's knee and Jake's feet. But all in all we had a great time. In fact Sean & I were talking today and we thought that we would try to again next year. It was the best time to go and enjoy with the kids!
