We went to the Science Museum!

We recently took a trip to the LA Science Museum, where Andy and Chloe
played in the rubber dirt garden and dug up plastic tomatoes, corn,
cucumbers, and other vegetables.

Chloe kept wanting to put the veggies in her mouth. She seems to
prefer the taste of plastic vegetables over the ones I cook for her.

Progress on the house

Painting, tiling, and kitchen cabineting, oh my!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a super exciting Thanksgiving dinner at Whitney and Jon's home. Chloe felt otherwise.

This year, Tiffany baked a beautiful owl cake.

So lifelike, that when the head had to be removed in order to cut it, many tears were shed and it had to be hastily put back on.



And she tucked in to a cupcake instead

Guiness Book of World Records

Being a good company daughter, Chloe agreed to dress up as Super Girl in order to get her picture taken with 1500 other super-hero garbed people to break the "world record for most people dressed up as a super hero in one place". The record is meaningless (and broken by 77 people) but the event was to promote a new DreamWorks Animation movie "MegaMind" and Will Ferrel was there to help with the proceedings. It didn't hurt that she got free cookies and juice.

It's a Boy! Due mid-February!

MegaMind in theaters Nov 5th!

Some minor demo between living room and dining room

Hopefully to create a more open room flow.

Should we be worried the contractor showed up with his 65yr old father
in 90 degree heat to do demo, had no masks and had to borrow ours?

Here goes the kitchen

Some Labor Day Photos

3 day weekend here.

Thirsty at the butterfly farm



An evening visit to the beach on Sunday to avoid the crowds. A bit foggy



Time to practice newly acquired sandcastle building skills






Baywatch towers have been repainted. Fun to walk up



And even more fun to run down
