Santino at pre-school

I decided to take some pictures of Santino
at school with his friends since his school
doesn't have picture day. He never wants to
smile for me or pose, but as soon as I broke
out that camera boy that kid couldn't get
enough. He grabbed his two girlfriends and
was all smiles, what a lady killer he is.

Getting ready for Halloween!

Santino can't wait for Oct 31st.
Each day he asks is it time yet?
I know he see's visions of Hershey
bars and peanut butter cups in his
eyes. Last night we went walking
around our neighborhood to see all
the decorations. I'm getting excited
just thinking about the candy too!!!

Baby Kenny's shower!

Sunday was baby Kenny's shower,there were so many
people that showed up. We ate, played games, the kids ran around
and had some delicious cake. Phil & Elizabeth got
so many nice presents. Everyone is anxious for this
little boy to arrive, he is going to be so overwhelmed
by love. Grandma Kim, Aunt Lisa and Aunt Ashley did a
great job with the party.

Peltzer Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we headed off to Michaels for
the decorate your own pumpkin activity. Santino
decided to make one with glasses, he was so proud.
After that we drove over to the Peltzer Pumkin Patch
and the kids had so much fun running and jumping
around in the haystacks. Juliana was thrilled to be
able to move all their pumpkins to different locations.
We also went thru the corn maze, and watched the pig
races. Santino wanted to ride the ponies, but changed
his mind last minute and so Julie got to ride, she liked
it just a bit, as you can see from her face. It was fun
watching the two of them

Happy October!

I can't believe it's already October, time
is flying as I'm sure you've noticed. But still
the weather in Temecula is in the 90's, I wish
it would get cold soooooo bad. Who wants to go
to the pumpkin patch in tank tops, shorts and
flip flops!!!! Here's some random shots of the
kiddos. Oh, and don't forget to VOTE!!!

Julie's roller experiment

We decided to try curling Juliana's hair for
a wedding we are going to soon. I thought small
roller's would be perfect, but I was wrong. It
only made her hair super tight and curly, this
is NOT how I wanted it. Anyway we thought it was
so funny and at first we didn't like it, by the
next day when we washed it out, we missed our
little Shirley Temple. What do you think, let
us know in the comments if you like it or not.

Children's Book Festival

This past Sunday we took a trip up to Costa Mesa
for the Children's Book Festival. It was a chance
to meet and greet many children's authors. We really
wanted to meet Jamie Lee Curtis, Santino has a few
of her books and loves them. But sadly we got in line
too late and they had given out the last of the 300
tickets so we didn't get to meet her afterall. We were
able to hear her read to us from her latest book and
I got some great photo's, she's a very smart and articulate
lady, we all really enjoyed seeing her.
