Today was a busy day! First I insisted on putting Paigie's hair up in pig tails and it was very cute! I took a picture, but I packed the camera already. I'll post it later. Grandma showed up on the train, we picked up Cam from school and went to the mall. I got tickets for Disneyland there and Cam's hook and sword for his Captain Hook costume on Halloween. Later, Mom and I had some fun at Jo-Anns and Petco. They have a great saltwater fish tank kit that isn't very big and not too expensive and I'm really considering it! I'd like a yellow tang, Nemo, and a worm thingy that looks like an anemone. I'd really LOVE a Lion fish, but I don't think the tank would be big enough. Petco has a beautiful cat that I'd really love to have. I don't think Tay would appreciate it though. This place is turning into a zoo!
Paige and Cam BOTH went without naps today! Crazy kids. Maybe they will sleep well tonight. Mom and I catch a flight at 6:00 am to San Diego. Gotta get up early.
Good night!

My kids are silly
Here's what I came home to today.. Paige had been riding in the cop car with the motorcycle in the back that plays "Born to be Wild", wearing her sunglasses with a big grin on her face. Cammy hopped on top of the car and grandma pushed them around the house.
Then the kids were watching something relatively scary and Cam told Paige she should get up on the chair with him in case she gets scared. How sweet is that?? I had to get a photo for evidence.
When Jeff got home, I got to go out and have a pedicure. It feels so nice to have someone massage my feet and legs... *sigh* It's supposed to be very warm here this weekend. I hope it's as nice in California. Mom and I are going to Disneyland. WOO HOO!!!

Paige eats nasty things
I forgot to tell you this story about Paigie.
Cam wanted a tuna sandwich, but all we could find was canned cat food. He asked if he could eat that and I said "NO WAY!!!" Then he asked if he could feed it to the cat and I said that would be fine. He got it out, scooped it in a nice bowl and set it out for the kitty. Paige pulled a chair over to the counter where the cat was and while I wasn't looking, she pulled a table knife out of the silverware drawer, dipped it in the wet food and took a HUGE bite. I turned around just in time to see the look of horror on her face and cat food everywhere. She did a big thbbbbbttttt with her tongue, sprayed it everywhere and hollered for me to get a towel to wipe off her tongue. Poor little girl! I asked how the cat food tasted and she said "Yucky!" I think that's a good sign. Maybe she won't do it again.
The frogs are kind of creeping me out. I don't know why. I thought I'd like them, but they are a little creepy. I don't know how to explain it. They have tiny eyes and a pointy nose and they just look funny. They seem nice enough. The sharks are fine. The biggest one jumps a lot so I'll have to make sure the lid stays on. The loach swam straight inside the Sponge Bob house straight away much to Cam's amusement. He's been asking why the fish don't go in the house. One of the frogs was in there today too, so maybe they'll go in more often. My friend has a phobia about fish and I never understood, but those frogs... Reminds me of some Stephen King book. It would start with some person saying the frogs were creepy. :) I must go to bed now. Three posts in one day must be some kind of a record for me.

Sharks!
I went out tonight and got three little sharks and a loach for the tank. Here are some photos, including one of the froggies. 
It rained a lot today. Just like typical Seattle fall/winter. It was dark at 8:00. Kind of depressing..
The kids and I slept all afternoon, so there isn't much to report :)

Yay for a new yard!
Friday and Saturday, Mr. Kevin landscaping came and fixed our yard. I'm so happy!! He still has a fence to build for the dogs, but the parts won't be in for 2 weeks. Still, YAY!!! He put chip under the fort, helped level out the ground and laid new sod. It looks SO much better than before. The dogs are not allowed on the grass. No digging and no pottying! Jeff and I went out and bought some bark, flowers, ground cover and stones for the border near the deck. I need to go back and get more flowers and stepping stones, but it is looking very nice. Here are some photos.
Oh, the photos were taken by ME on my new little Nikon Coolpix camera. SO not an SLR and not as great as Jeff's camera, but I'm totally thrilled with it. I'm going to take it to CA with me next weekend. Okay, it's really OUR camera, but I'm going to call it mine for right now. I don't know what Jeff would want with it anyway when he has such a fabulous D2X just sitting there. :)
This weekend we went to Wenatchee for a wedding Jeff was photographing. Check out his site soon, I'm sure he'll have a new slide show up. There were a lot of fabulous photos, of course. The kids, Mom and I spent Saturday together making cards and we also went to Smallwoods Farm which has a petting farm area. We fed the silly animals tons of carrot sticks. Later, when I saw a cow on the way home, Paige yelled "I want feed him carrot!" After Smallwoods, we went to Leavenworth and checked out the shops and finished up at Cold Stone Ice Cream. yum yum.
When we got home, Jeff met with a bride who chose him to photograph her wedding next month at Shilshole Bay.
Tomorrow, we need to get more flowers and I think we'll round out the fish tank with some pretty fish since the frogs have survived the first few days with us. I'm so excited they are still okay. I feel like I've accomplished something by providing them with a decent habitat :)
Good night.

Back in Wenatchee
Yay, we made it to Wenatchee again! Jeff has some new fancy thingy bobber that lets him surf the internet while we drive or rather while I drive. Pretty slick.
Paige screamed about 1/2 way over here. She screams until she chokes herself and then throws up. All because I wouldn't roll down her window. I bet that if I HAD rolled it down, she still would have screamed because the right song wasn't on the radio or because it was too quiet or too loud or too cold or too hot or something. She was SO MAD. She's better now. Really tired so we'll head to bed soon.
Our backyard is a disaster! I'm very excited though, it's looking really great for being such a mess. The guys brought in top soil and were spreading it out as we left today. I'm so excited for fresh dirt! They are also going to put chip under the kids' fort and they ordered the fence stuff we need, but they'll have to put that in later - about two weeks for it to arrive. Okay with me though, the fence will be really nice. Better than we expected. I gave them some pizza and they gave Cammy some Vietnamese food for lunch. Such nice guys.
Then, the Schwan's delivery truck showed up in our neighborhood and the driver is the same guy who delivered for us when we lived in N. Everett. Yay! I really liked him :) He even remembered me which is weird. Super nice guy.
Cammy has really had a better attitude the last few days. I'm so proud of him for working so hard on it. We took a walk this afternoon so the dogs could go to the bathroom since our backyard is unusable. We walked up to Jenn's house to deliver the gifts we brought home from Paris. Jenn is home again from the hospital and doing better. Her new organs look great!
Heather got a job at Children's Hospital. YAY HEATHER!!! :) Congratulations!
Oooh and the frogs are still alive. Yippee :) All is well here.
