Archive for November, 2008
It’s really sad how there are so many fires going on right now.. This is supposedly the worst case of fires since 40 years ago, especially for this time of year! The reason for that is because of the record high temperatures for around this time of year combined with the winds. Luckily where we live has never been affected by raging fires because we don’t fall in a path where they tend to burn. We aren’t on a hill, in a forest etc.. which is the path they usually follow. Although about 10 miles from me there was a fire burning in Diamond Bar, some forestry area of the city.
When we would go outside we could smell the smoke though and see it floating in the sky, it was pretty nasty and sad. I guess it is really important to be careful where you buy your house because many houses were damaged and I believe some firemen were hurt as well. I hope everyone recovers well and gets back on there feet even though that may be easier said than done.
At this point though I’m more worried about this supposed big earthquake that’s expected, it could happen in this lifetime but then there is the possibility of it not but it’s supposed to be a 7 point something I believe. I don’t think I have ever felt something that big before, I’ve only felt a few earthquakes in my lifetime even though tiny ones are happenning all of the time. Just got to be prepared I guess!
Well I haven’t written in here for a while, I have no posts for November at all! I’ve just been busy with projects and other things as I have said in the past. I really meant to get on here and write about how our Halloween went and post up some adorable pictures of the kids. I will probably post a few pictures later but their Halloween was really fun! We carved a cool looking pumpkin and baked the seeds. We went trick or treating for about an hour.. and then we were all tired and came home, besides we got plenty of candy from that short trip anyways.
My daughter enjoyed saying “trick or treat” at the doors and felt really proud of the candy she earned. Of course the second we got home I had to go and check each piece to make sure it looked safe and then monitor her intake = ) As we all know, most parents help with the intake part anyways hehe My son wasn’t too sure what was going on but he looked cute in his little pumpkin outfit and enjoyed looking around..
Last time I wrote I also mentioned my daughter needed to get her flu shot still and she did but she wasn’t happy about it at all! This was the first time where she actually started to scream before they even touched her with it. It made me feel bad and I’m not looking forward to any future shots but I will just have to give her a pep talk the next time so she’s more comfortable..
