Halloween in the hood
Vido decided to dress up this year, but wouldn’t tell me what he was going to be. He kept telling everyone else, but swearing them to secrecy. You can view the our photos here.

Halloween goodies for next year
I picked up Finnegan from the Boys and Girls club Halloween afternoon, and they had made these fun treat bags. Plastic gloves with candy corn and popcorn. We all decided to make them for their classes next year.

The Princess sort of green party
Quinn’s party went over well. The dolls were a hit, but I did break down and buy plastic Tiaras. However almost all the girls had their own, so I am returning half of them.
We did a little craft where they made their own wands, and I did make the cake, not from scratch, but a box, but I used home-made icing to decorate it. I also had to purchased a Snow White doll, made in China of course. But it’s a toy she can keep, and it doesn’t get tossed away as some cake decorations might.
We made our patio a bit festive by decorated with toole, instead of store bought decorations. I can re-use the toole, and it was fairly inexpensive.

six to go!
I only have six more to go! woo hoo. I am getting a bit better with making them, and finding out what works and what doesn’t do so we’ll. I had to buy new paint brushes, the cheapie set I first bought didn’t have a fine enough tip. Click the pict to see more.

Beehive Soccer
Finnegan is doing soccer this year and he seems to kind of like it. He did a soccer camp this summer and told Vido, “I love soccer.” He started off the season with an “injury”. He jumped of the play structure at the Boys and Girls club and, we think, sprained his ankle. He’s better now, but will occasionally use it as an excuse.
When I told a co-worker that he was in the u6 ayso league, he said, oh the beehives? It took me a second to get it, the kids swarm the ball like a pack of bees. : )

Birthday take-aways, on the green side
This is the first doll I finished, only 11 more to go. I’ve been having fun making these, and they will be the take away gift for my daughters party. Hopefully they are a little more green than plastic toys.

Commute
On my bike ride to work, I always see these signs with Arnold’s name on them. I do think they are somewhat of an oxymoron since he hasn’t support our parks, but appears to be doing the opposite.

Also the LA Times published an opinion blog. Make your comments heard!
