Fall Colors

My entire life every Fall I have been told how amazing the color changes are everywhere else in the country. I have heard that there are people who could not live in California because they would miss the seasons and the beautiful Autumn leaves. On my walk home from church today I came to a realizations. They are all full of bunk. They are making excuses as to why they live in (by choice or not) such cold, harsh dreary places instead of paradise. I say this because the pictures below were taken on my block on my way home from church. If you need more color than this become an artist. This is all the color I need especially when I can ride my bike to the beach.

For many reasons we have not had the boys photos taken for over a year. That is an eternity for me. The day after Thanksgiving I took the boys out front at my in laws and tried to make them Cooperate. These are the results. I think they will do for the time being.

Chandler age 12 Grade 7

Elliot Age 5 Grade Kindergarten

I had been waiting for 18 months to chop my hair off again but I wanted it to go to locks of love. On Thanksgiving my Sis In Law measured it and we finally had enough. I told her to go ahead and take of as much as she could. So she grabbed a hold of the ponytail and cut.

Here is the Front!

This is the result 10-11 inches depending on which part you measured. I know I need a front view the picture will be taken shortly. I am without a doubt a short hair person and feel so much more like me with it. Not to mention the drying time is much easier.

We had a great Thanksgiving in San Diego with many members from my Husbands side of the family. I had my first Vegetarian Thanksgiving, and I enjoyed lots of Black Friday shopping this year. Including going to Michaels on Thanksgiving and scoring the best deals but I can't talk about them until after Christmas so my kids don't find out. I scored the biggest gift for myself from my Mother In Law. A Cricut machine. If you don't know what that it it doesn't matter, If you do I know you are so excited for me. You are welcome to come share in the joy and we can scrapbook, listen to glee, and eat chocolate. I think I went to target 5 times in 2 days, Michaels 3 times, Toys R Us once, Walmart once. I am totally done and ready to wrap. And I stayed in my meeger Budget. Yeah for me. I wish my husband had some idea of the self control I exhibited.
Anyone want to have a wrapping party with me. I was thinking one morning while the kids were in school or next Wednesday night
If any of you feel like buying me a Christmas Present I am dreaming about Glee Karaoke for the Wii.
