a little rain

it's been raining here in california...and as everyone knows...california only does stuff in a BIG way....if it's sunny, it's sunny for months and months, if it's an earthquake, it has to be major...and if it rains...

well, it has to rain buckets and buckets...the thing is, we californians aren't used to bad weather...it's pretty funny to see people drive in the rain...they don't know how....and even though i grew up in winter weather...i have become accustomed to 'good' weather...when it rains like it has been...i think...i would rather stay  in today!  but, in all honesty...i love the rain...makes me feel like it's actually winter...it's fun to be able to wear this:

                           to use this:

to wear these:
                                        

                                      





...it's fun to wear a little winter gear..and of course, it's always fun to
  'sing in the rain'

but, of course..it better not stay...rain can last a week...max...then we're back to that gorgeous weather everyone else is jealous of!!!

what the boys said

here are some things i heard today....on the way home from park city, gavin sang us all the songs from his 'cd's'....mind you the cd's are in his head...he sang 'a pirates life, zippedeedoodaa, puff, the magic dragon, a made up thomas the train song and a made up lightening mcqueen song...he ended with away in the manger'..after that he said he ran out of cd's.....he sings pretty good, on tune, and fills in any part he doesn't know with 'na na na'.....other things i heard...'owen, don't do that'....he takes charlie's paci and runs off to suck it himself...he also made a great concoction of dr. pepper, hot sauce, more hot sauce and then just a little bit more hot sauce...you should have seen his eyes when he sipped it!! gavin and owen were playing their 'good night' game...that's when they shoot the foam disks from their air foam guns...right at our heads...they are pretty funny boys...and very entertaining...
