Frosted Mini Wheat in my Freezer

The surprises never end in the Lang house. The kiddos are home today because of the fires in So. Cal. and will be home again tomorrow. So, it’s only natural that I would open the freezer and find Frosted Mini Wheat cereal. At least it wasn’t anything alive!
It’s actually been a quiet day for having everyone home. I headed to Blockbuster and brought home 6, yes, 6 movies. They are only 2 movies into the stack, so we’re good! Normally I would send them outside to play, but with the smoke in the air, we are inside. Luckily the 2 littlest kiddos are napping. I should probably be doing something amazing with this time, but chose to spend it here.

A quick and BIG thank you to our good friend, Maria, who is an amazing seamstress and all around awesome person, for calling and wanting to share costumes that she’s made over the years, with the kids. We went to see her yesterday and she had piles of amazing costumes lying around for the kids to try on. Max came home with the cutest Dalmatian costume, Gabi got to bring home Minnie Mouse AND Tinkerbell and Tristan is borrowing a Knight in Shining Armor. She is fixing a Cinderella dress for Arianna and MAKING a lab coat for Maddi. I wish I had learned this skill. Thank you! Thank you!

Clay and I took some friends to our favorite Spanish restaurant last night. If you’re ever in San Diego, try out Costa Brava. The owner is very passionate about the food and wine and on Sunday nights they have live entertainment. Lots of fun!

Well, the fires are raging on. Last I heard, we are up to 7 different fires burning with 3 of them being purposely set. Crazy! Many people have been evacuated. A friend’s husband is a local firefighter. Remember those prayers! I’m thinking it’s no different than knowing that your husband is going into a battle zone.
Thanks!~
