Disneyland!

I thought you might like to see some pictures of Disneyland all decked out for Halloween this year - the amazing thing is that 48 hours after we came home, the little Disney Elves changed out all of the Fall flowers and planted Christmas seasonal flowers - all this happened literally overnight! Personally I think we could all stand to have a magical team of elves in our everyday life...don't you agree?!!!

It's good to be back home!

Since our kids had a couple of in service days off school last week, we took them to Disneyland then Huntington Beach, California where we walked a WHOLE lot,  rode some crazy rides (can we say Tower of Terror - which isn't named that just for fun let me tell you!!!), and splashed in the ocean - nothing like a nice 5 foot wave washing over your head to deposit some sand in places where it doesn't belong!!!! Happy stitching - here are some vacation pics I want to share....
