Jacks Art Day

Loren brought home this giant piece of paper and it was perfect for us all to draw on.
(Or cut, in Luke's case)

Jack is very precise in his drawings...and he likes to stay in the line.

This thing shoots ice cream!

Jack is also more precise in his cutting, thankfully,
and no fingers were lost on this day by anyone!

Art day

Luke thinks that drawing is okay.

But, his favorite thing is to do is cut all the paper into pieces.

Many pieces of paper that I keep finding around the house 3 days later.
He was busy for at least 15 minutes...so I was happy!

Too cool

Jack wearing his "sunglasses at night"
Although I see Luke in his pjs on a chair behind Jack so it is probably "sunglasses in the morning".

Good chili, bad chili-ish recipe

Loren make this awesome chili in the picture above.
Sadly he doesnt have a recipe for it but just threw it together with sausage, steak, navy beans, canned tomatoes and some veggies.
It hit the spot on an cold night.

This Rachel Ray recipe did not hit the spot...and I would like to warn you all (all 3 of you) to NOT make it.

Balloon Ball

We are sad that baseball season in over but over the moon that the SF Giants won!!!
Can't wait for spring training!



Our new favorite game in the house is balloon ball!

The boys will play it forever...or until the bat runs out of air.

Halloween 2010

 I'm back...

Sparks was a great trip for me, but not so much for Jack and Daddy.

Jack didn't do so well while I was gone.

But was fine the second I got back.

 We took the boys downtown Santa Cruz for a little trick or treating.

And it was packed!

Think we will look for something a little smaller scale next year!

 Lots of Giants fans - including Loren as a pumpkin Brian Wilson!

 While it was very crowded, Jack had no problems foraging ahead to get his treats.

Luke was a little more overwhelmed.

 After downtown we went home to watch the game and eat a little supper before hitting up the neighborhood.

 I make SF clam chowder in hopes for a win!

 It was really, really dark in our neighborhood and not many porch lights on.

This time Jack got scared and I had to carry him...

Luke was the trooper dinosaur!

Jumping Jack

Jack at the halloween gymnastics!

He is a great jumper!

I am going to be out of town at a conference for the next few days with no internet.
Im am hoping to survive!
Anyway, I won't be posting as I havent been able to make the forward dating blogger work.



Happy end of the week!
