Brunch

After working 2 weeks straight Mark finally had a day off. When I asked him how he wanted to spend it, his choice was inviting his friends over for brunch. The weather is now pretty perfect and it was a fun day. After brunch we relaxed on the patio. The boys played on the rip stick which takes a heck of a lot more coordination than we thought. Mark and Al sadly realized that they aren't as young as they feel and weren't able to quite get it. Drew and Olivier searched the back yard for bugs and found a lady bug and preying mantis. A perfect Sunday Funday.

Halloween

Halloween was a success. It started out with me going to Drew's school for the annual Halloween parade. All the classes sing several songs, they have a parade to show off their costumes then they go inside for a huge party with so much sugar. In the evening we had several families come over and it gets better each year. The kids couldn't wait to hit the streets and now that they are a little older they weren't afraid. We had great costumes except I'm mad at myself for not getting the kids together to take a big group shot. The only one is them eating before we went trick or treat. We had a rapper, a boxer, a witch, 2 Snake Eyes from GI Joe, White Shadow from GI Joe, little bo peep and Transformer Bumblebee. As for the adults...they did excellent in the costume area this year. We were happy they got into the spirit of things.

Basketball Game

A few weeks back the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors played an outside game at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. We were in an awesome suite with plenty of food and drinks. The weather was great to sit outside and we got to hang out with great friends. A fun way to spend the night.
