Welcome back and happy Tuesday! I can't even believe we have kicked off November already, and it has me in a panic because it's jammed packed with one thing after another. This means I'll blink and it will be the start of the holidays. I am looking forward to them but not quite ready to think about planning for them. Yikes! One-day-at-a-time. I just need to remember that. Sadly October went out in flames so here's to hoping for a less disastrous November.
Take a look at last week's pictures:
The winds were insane last night and into today. This tree at work snapped right in half near where I park, but it happened overnight so I just saw the aftermath and was glad my car was nowhere near at the time. Meanwhile in LA the Getty Fire broke out early this morning and could be seen from UCLA in the wee hours. Imagine waking up to this picture first thing in the morning as parent with a kid there. Thankfully we have a great parent group with locals that kept us updated. The campus is east of the 405 freeway and the fire is on the west side with winds continuing to blow it west away from campus. They are safe but's it's still hard not to worry especially if the winds decide to change direction. LAPD also had them on alert to possibly evacuate but it never came to that. Classes were cancelled for the day though since roads were closed and some teachers, staff and commuting students couldn't get there.
Day 302- Tuesday, 10/29/19
I think it might be dinner time. LOL! They have banded together to stare me down, and I'm the only one home right now so it's all on me. Just wait until the time change. That will really throw them for a loop.
Brandon and I carved pumpkins this afternoon and John was able to bang his out later. We're ready for tomorrow.
Happy Halloween! Brandon, the creepy clown, went out treating for 2 whole hours and brought home enough candy to feed a small army. John also wore a Jason mask and played pool while passing out candy and watching the Niner's game. They are finally having a good season.
Day 305- Friday, 11/1/19
It's so crazy that November is here already. Brandon is at basketball practice and John is still at work so I'm the only one left to pose with the monthly marker. It will be nice to have more kids home later this month and into next.
Our nightly temperatures have dropped drastically this past week so I had to pull out the winter jammies which also help with the cold starts to each day. The cat feels it too and has been working hard to seek out the sunny spots in the house. He also like swatching the leaves blow around.
Day 307- Sunday, 11/3/19
The windy conditions did a number on our pool and trees. There are not many leaves left on the trees but you can find a whole lot of them in our pool. Inside Brandon has just finished lunch and is enjoying a few treats from his Halloween haul. If I'm lucky he offer to share a piece or two with me which is nice because we had hardly anything left after the many ghouls and goblins came to our door.
That's it! See you next week.
So scary about the fires!! I hope UCLA stays safe and you guys up north, too!
ReplyDeleteCrazy and so scary with the wind near you and the fires near Tyler! So glad everyone is ok! Hoping your November is a much calmer weather month!!!
