Fiesta del Sol, again!

For the 3rd year in a row, we attended the Fiesta del Sol at Tempe Diablo park. This year, we gathered a group of friends from our neighborhood and carpooled it to Tempe. Oh my gosh, we had so much fun! Gambling, drinking and 'auctioning'. My crazy sister and drunkski friend Chandler ran the bases, we danced for hours and then ended up with all the other college kids in Gilbert at Denny's at 1AM!*I forgot my camera this year, so John took pics with his iPhone. Considering we all look like zombies in these pics, we fired him at the end of the night, he's no longer allowed to be the group photographer ;)

FINALLY, I got to go on my first school field trip with Hayden! Last year, they didn't give us enough notice, and it was too hard to find help with Tay. This year, I'm sure being the room-mom has something to do with it, I was notified waaaay in advance. So, I had my very first bus experience with first graders. (Tammy and I went for a glass of wine after, if that gives ya any idea ;-))

Needless to say, I had a blast, and it was really nice to spend a couple of hours with Hayden! I've already got the next one on the calendar!

Trick or Treat, 20-10!

I was going to say that Holidays are fun around here. But, every weekend is like a Holiday...so maybe it's that life is just plain fun around here?!

We went down to the Houses for white chili, or is it green chili? I don't know...but we went down there and enjoyed some awesome chili in the driveway! The dads took the kids trick-or-treating while the moms drank wine and handed out candy. I've heard a rumor that next year the mom's have to take the kids T-O-T'ing...I'll have to hurt my ankle or something ;-)

Bentley, the class pet.

Hayden got to bring Bentley, the class pet home for a weekend. Bentley was a decent houseguest. He didn't make too many messes, kept his caloric intake to a minimum and slept in Hayden's room. She's a good caretaker...I see a future working with animals, for her. Just not sure if that's in a vet's office or in the circus! ;-)
