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..
There have been a bunch of new projects going on here lately including launching many new sites. One of the sites currently launched was Some Girl Games which should be doing pretty well soon because we are getting custom made dress up games for girls. Then once they are finished being made we will be able to submit the games to many of the top girl game sites around.
Well besides all that not much else going on, just the usual. My son did hit me in the eye today with one of his toys today though. He actually did it pretty hard and I sort of lost vision in that eye for a while and it was pretty scary. That toy is going to be off limits for a while haha but of course I forgive him for it, I knew he didn’t mean to.
The weather is getting nicer and nicer, this is the time of year where it cools down and the winds start kicking in.. my favorite! I love windy and chilly weather. I’m thinking of getting a pumpkin or 2 pretty soon as well as the kids costumes, it will be a fun Halloween thing for the kids plus I can make some yummy pumpkin things after!
So I don’t have anymore refills for my current birth control Yaz and I need to schedule an appointment to get a refill before this month’s supply runs out. I am kind of curious to see how I would feel without taking them for a while but I also don’t want to end up pregnant. These pills seem to make me a bit moody and weird. I will probably just go and get some more but I want to switch to a new kind because my current type can increase potassium and I don’t really feel comfortable with that. I don’t really feel comfortable taking any medicine at all but I definitely have enough children right now. I’ll write about this more when I decide what I am going to do..
I was just looking at some pictures and videos we made at the park yesterday. It was so much fun to watch my son walk around in the grass because he looked so proud while doing so.. he would walk a bit and then pick up a leaf, then walk some more and pick up another. At one point he had about 10 different leaves in his hand. We decided to go yesterday after his appointment and I’m glad that we did.
I told my daughter that next time we go we will bring kites because she mentioned kites. She had a lot of fun too, running around with her brother and playing on all of the slides and stuff. We actually go to the park pretty often but my son has only been walking on his own for about a month now so this was the first time he actually got to run around at the park on his own. We usually just slide down the slides with him on our lap (which we can still do) but anyways, it was just really fun and I want to go back soon!
I didn’t go over my dad’s house for a few weeks because of everything that has been going on but I just went this past weekend and it was pretty fun. The kids played outside and I washed my car and just relaxed outside. My grandma was gone though, she is going to be gone this whole week because she just went on a vacation to stay with her club at some all inclusive hotel near Mexico or something. That wouldn’t be my pick for a place to vacation but they go all sorts of places.
My dad also had a bunch of stuff for me, it seems like whenever I go over there he has things to give me because he either has too much of something or just wont use it. Things like spaghetti noodles and other random things, sometimes my grandma will pick up some odd thing for me while she is out shopping and I end up weith some weird things lol It was fun over there and my son was even walking around outside, it was so cute! My daughter helped me wash the car and just played in the water and got soaking wet! It was hot though so it was okay.
Hopefully everyone is having a good Labor Day and doesn’t need to work. My day is going alright we aren’t really doing anything but the usual. I went to my dad’s house yesterday though and we had a little barbecue. September is a fun month and soon it will be Fall and the weather will start cooling off and will be nice. For some reason September is full of birthdays, I know at least 9 people having birthdays this month including my son, my boyfriend, my mom, my brother and some other random people.
So yeah, lots of fun things to look forward to this month.. going to have a bunch of celebrations, my son’s FIRST birthday, my brother will be 18 and I will also be taking my son to his 1 year check up at the end of the month. Happy Labor Day to everyone and Happy September 1st!! haha
