Museum's, Dodger game, & Twilight:)

The weekend started with meeting Shannon and her kids and Kim and her kids at the park. It was a nice way to start the weekend... the kids wore themselves out, ate at the park, came home, took a bath and hit the hay!

I am always looking for something to do with the kids that is free or inexpensive. The La Habra Children's Museum was free on Saturday, so Kim and I ventured out there to spend the morning. Abby has never been, T.T. went when she was a tiny baby, and Trevor and Ruby hadn't been since they were about 18 months old. I must say, we all had a great time. I am always concerned about Abby - she's a runner and not the best listener:). All in all she was really good!!!! The kids are really starting to get to a fun age and I am really excited for all the adventures that are yet to come!

Ruby was milking the cow... I'm not sure if this picture is more sweet or more creepy - kind of:)


Police Officer Ruby... yeah right, she's more accident prone than anyone I know. I love you, baby!

This was the Taxidermy. Abby was scared to death. Trevor was a little frightened at first, but a few M & M's solved that and he was posing for the camera.

Bean on the carousel... time for a haircut, my love.

T.T. was bringing me food to eat. I stinking love you!

OK... now time for the good stuff!!!!! Are you kidding me... a Dodger Sweep over the Cubbies who had the best record in the National League! That was hands down the best game we have ever been to! We took the Blue line to Union Station, then the free Dodger trolley to the Stadium. The atmosphere was electric! They won 3 to 1 and we stayed WAY too long to watch the on field celebration. So much so, that we missed our connection on the Blue Line in Wilmington at 12:30 AM!!!!

Needless to say, by the time I got to bed it was almost 2:00am and the kids were up at 6:00am... the things we do for the love of the game:)

Dodger Mania!

Last, but not quite least... I have been sucked in! I started reading Twilight! I am only a 130 pages in, but can't wait to finish!!! The first night I only read about 50 pages and already had a Vampire dream and they haven't even talked about vampires, yet!!!!

This is Ruby at the museum. One of the rooms has a stage with a microphone. It is hard to hear her because it was so loud... but sweet none-the-less. This is her rendition of "When you wish upon a star".

How fun to be at the Dodgers game!! I bet staying for the celebration was totally worth it:)

So glad you are reading twilight! Isn't it the best?

Love your pics. The musuem looked like it was a great time. Yes, Twilight is the best, but totally consumes your free time. Yeah, Dodgers! Ruby's singing is too sweet, love that song!

Twilight and Saving Grace are the best two out of the series I think. I have 150 more pages to go in Saving Grace and then maybe I can get back to spending time with my kids.
