Stan Lee Day 2 and Trunk-or-Treat

Day two of Stan Lee's Comic Con for Heather. She and Kenzie went as Quidditch Players. They stayed in Long Beach during the day and then drove back for Trunk-or-Treat. I dressed up the back of our trunk and got a little ghoulish with the make up. Love our Trunk-or-Treat tradition. Jenna and Kelly were here somewhere, but not pictured. Don't Kenzie and Heather look amazing in the back of the truck? Lot's of kids recognized them from Harry Potter and stopped to comment.

Stan Lee Day 1 and The Bell Game

Heather and Mackenzie attended Stan Lee's Comic Con after school today. It's a smaller Con, but still fun to walk around and wear the cosplay. Her Victorian Steampunk cosplay was amazing. She ended up being photographed by a professional photographer.  We pieced that cosplay together, and it looked like a super cohesive outfit. I love helping her put these outfits together.

In the evening, we took Jenna to her first Bell Game, Fountain Valley vs. Edison. We got creamed, but hey! It's the Bell Game so, ya gotta go. Sarah and Jenna had fun dressing for Twin Day as a part of spirit week as well as painting her face at the game. We sat with our friend, Michelle, and we ran into our Ocean View bff, Grace. Jenna sat with her friends, and we got a fun picture in the parking lot afterward. It was a festive night and a right of passage for our newest Freshman.

Monster Mash 2016

Tonight was the Stake's annual Monster Mash dance. Heather has been hard at work serving on the Stake Youth Committee as the chair for the maze. With the help of her committee, she put together a creepy circus themed maze that was the hit of the night. Jenna attended as a vampire queen, and she had a blast with her friends.

Homecoming Court Friend

Heather's girlfriend, Grace, was nominated to the Homecoming Court at Ocean View HS. We went to support her and watch their high school game. She looked so beautiful!

Cosplay and Costumes

It's Halloween time and Heather is gathering costumes for upcoming cosplay and costume events. Her Harry Potter Quidditch outfit is nearly complete, and Renaissance girl is an option as well. She has so much fun dressing up, just like her momma.

Impromptu Date Night at Disneyland

The girls were both home sick today night so, Kelly and I went ahead and had date night at Disneyland. Nothing better than holding hands and riding rides just like when we were that young, cute dating couple. Hee-hee.

Decorating for Fall

As I packed up the Halloween things there wasn't enough room to keep everything. I decided that the girls' Kindergarten items probably needed to go since they were starting to disintegrate. Before tossing them, I took a photo so I could remember their cuteness.  The spiders were from Kindergarten in Mrs. Crandall's class, and the pumpkins were from Ms. Dillon's class (2nd grade for Jenna, 3rd grade for Heather). I then piled the Thanksgiving decor on the fireplace which looked quite festive. I'm getting slower at decorating, but not sure why. I used to love it, but now the getting boxes out and putting them away seems daunting. I'll probably be purging more in the season to come so that there isn't quite so much stuff to deal with.
