Adventure #3
So we set off after swim and headed up to Monterey
We got to My museum. It was pretty awesome. We spent about 3 hours there and had to pry the boys out.
Buzz takes a break. Once he found that costume he would not take it off
peek a boo
The cat in the hat went that way
Hey I'm building here
Spiderman
Buzz to the rescue
Logans "serious" fireman face
Some sort of crazy dance
I'm so good I can drive with my feet
I had to make do with these lil guys but it was closing by that point so I didn't get to view them long
We pricelined a stay at the Portola Hotel & Spa. It was pretty swank. They have a pirates club for kids so they both got a pirate booty chest filled with stickers, tattoos, eye patches (obviously)money and jewels. And two lil plastic pirates which did a lot of swashbuckling during our stay. They had to wear their accoutremonts to dinner where Logan had Landlubber Pizza and Ronan had the Swashbuckler hotdog and Skallywag fries. I was hoping one would get the Macaaaaaarrrroni and Cheese just because it was so darn fun to say.
And our landslide is getting worse. This was the start, last week
When we came home it looked like this.....

The aquarium was PACKED. We've been lucky the last few times we've gone there was hardly anyone there. The last member event we went to there was hardly anyone there. This was sheer madness. We spent two hours there and saw hardly anything. It was not very fun. AND the sea dragons were closed as were the penguins. Not happy campers.
The crack is now 4 inches across. When we came back from a bday party someone had put out cones and a sandwich board caution sign thing. Hopefully it stays put but you can see there is still water seeping out so who knows how long it will last. At least there is no rain in the forcast this week.

Saturday adventure
What a week.
1) Rain rain and shall we say more rain? 1.29 inches overnight. and its been that way nearly a week. We had a mudslide near our house. No damage but the road appears to be sinking and the crack that has been there a long time also seems to be wider. Now that may be because we are noticing it more due to the mudslide below it but.....
2) Had a health scare. Ok not really I just scared myself by googling the condition. Don't ever do that. Its never good. Had a biopsy and all is well. Simply age and hormone related.
3) I think Harley is taking a downward turn. She is back to drinking tons of water and she is barfing alot. She also seems to be losing the weight she gained back. Back to the Dr next week.
4) Off on an adventure today. Membership has its benefits and tonight we are going to a members only function up at the Aquarium. 2 hours of exploring without the teeming masses. we are going up after swim and are going to go to my museum. Then check into our hotel, have some dinner and relax then go commune with the fishies.
5) Tomorrow is the boys sweet little cousin Pressly's birthday. How can she be 3 already? She is so funny, she is totally going to be hanging with the big boys. Cute and tough, that is her in a nutshell
6) Indiana Jones is the bane of my existance. I should have never bought that game for Logan. It is without a doubt the cause of 90% of the arguments in this house. Curse you Lego Indiana....

Report Cards and Conferences and Carnivals
Oh MY!
So most of his card was good. There were a few areas that downgraded. Mostly due to peer pressure I'm thinking as it involves listening appropriately and following directions. Logan is totally a "if someone else is doing it, I'll join in" which does not give me comfort when he is older and really starts getting peer pressure.
His comment section said:
Overall this has been a good trimester for Logan. He has made great progress in all academic areas. I am especially pleased with his progress in reading and writing. I am however a little concerned with his behavior. He has been struggling with listening appropriately and following directions.
HA Someones goofing off so he's joining in.
We have our conference on the 28th so we'll see what she says.
They also have their school carnival coming up which is their big fundraiser so if anyone has any ideas for silent auction items let me know. I have a few things gathered so far but would like to get some more. Also if anyone has any fun carnival type games for grades K-6 let me know.

Seven on Sunday
another week past and nothing much to show for it.
1) We went to the Drive In last night. Rango was playing. Not bad but a bit much for the younger set. Leaned a tad too much to scary rather than fun. And it was forkin cold. Definitely need to dress warmer for sitting outside.
2) Jury Duty. Got the summons in the mail. Now I'm willing to do my part but why do they have to make it so freakin difficult. I'm sorry but if I get called (after the initial call in) there is little to no chance I'm going to make it from home or work to the courthouse in one hour. Just not happening.
3) /Charlie Sheen - WTF is up with this guy? Its either he's totally going off the rails or he is totally playing the media for a fool. Either way Shut him up,
4) The tsunami. Holy Hell thats some gnarly business. We had warnings and evacuations all up and down the coast. Didn't amount to much here but man that mess in Japan. Heart breaking.
5) Daylight Savings. I don't have the best sense of time anyway and whenever it comes or goes it always frigs me up for days. Is there really any point to it anyway? Its not like the day is actually longer or anything its just a # on the clock.
6) I need to slow down. I nearly killed myself on my bike riding home from boxing. I was going way to fast into a corner and hit some sand or dirt and nearly took myself out. After the fact of course I was thinking well what if I didn't pull a rabbit out of my hat and make it through without eating it? I'd be either dead or badly hurt and I have two small kids. I need to exercise a bit more caution.
7) Bubble Blaster Smileys - Its making me insane. Make it stop.

belated snow pics
Here is the mountain leaving town.
Pics of the hills across the street on Sat when it snowed in town.
Trying to capture the snowfall on film.
Trike A Thon 2011
Today Ronan participated in his 2nd St. Jude's Trike a thon. They have been studying bicycle safety all week and he can tell you ALL the rules (and at top volume as well)
Lets get ready to roll!
Everyone repeating the 4 rules
After two laps, it was time for a snack. That riding stuff is hard work.
Lets get ready to roll!
After another 2 laps he had to stop for another snack and when he prepared to climb aboard for laps 7 and 8 he was taken out by a rampaging big wheel. Has a bit of road rash on his elbow and he said "I don't want to ride anymore" so we watched.
