Disneyland for the Biggies!

We surprised Esme and Chan for fall break and took them to Disneyland.  We didn't tell them where we were going until we landed in LAX actually!  It seemed easier to tell them this way so we didn't have to deal with all the whining and agony of counting down each day, etc.  And they were so surprised!  It was Esme's second trip so she was super excited.  Chan was excited cause she was but truthfully had no idea what we were doing and was actually quite nervous.  It took him a little while to calm his nerves but in the end he had a blast.  We all did of course!  Here's just a preview of our pics and I'll post more later.  Still need to download them all...

Happy Halloween from Disneyland!

Halloween in Cars Land

Being silly for the photographer

The orange lighting was actually from the Anaheim Hills fire that was going on.  Thankfully it only affected us on this one afternoon.  

Enamored with the characters :)

Visiting Tinkerbell in Pixie Hollow

Esme loved this ride!  I can't even remember how many times she went with either Allen or mommy.

A Good Nights Sleep

Fall is here and the weather is cooling off and the days are getting shorter.  The babies never had a hard time sleeping when it was light out but they definitely fall asleep faster since it's dark at their bedtime.  We're pretty consistent (and they're ready) with bedtime at 6:30pm for them and then they usually sleep till 6am.  The big kids sleep at 7:30 and sleep till around 6am also.  Chan can still nap but can also go without if the day doesn't allow for it.  The babies of course are still napping in the afternoon so our weekends really revolve around that.  We do morning activities, come home for nap, and then usually play in the yard or walk/bike/ride around the neighborhood.  The girls still love their wagon and love going outside.  That's a word Evie knows and Poppy just bangs on the door and grunts. 
On our neighborhood walk, one of the highlights is going to see if the cows are near the fence and then feeding them ti leaves.  

Another favorite afternoon activity is scoop net fishing at Liliuokalani Park.  Usually Allen helps the big kids and mommy makes sure the babes don't fall in the water ;)

She gets this from her dad ;)

Dumping the little fish in the bucket.

Pops and Evie love this part!

They follow each other everywhere

Evie really want to use that scoop net too!

Out Saturday mornings always include Esme's gymnastics class.  If Chan has a game at the same time then we split up, boys and girls.  Otherwise we go to his game right after gymnastics. 

Chan still loves his cat suit and sometimes Esme dresses up with him.

They still fit in the cart!

These girls are getting so big!  Their turned 18 months at the end of September!

Made in the shade.  Napping on a walk with Nana.  

This pic was taken on the same changing pad but with a different cover.  It's a little crowded now!
