i finally took my kids outside. 🙂
let me start off by saying that i am a total HOMEBODY!!! i love being home and hanging out. pair that with sick kids, holidays, a husband on vacation– then there you go…a week and a half flown by in a blink of an eye! i made a quick dash to panda express, a few trips to the grocery store, church, the inlaws for christmas.. other than that.. we stayed home. and it was soooooo nice! lots of nintendo Wii playing, lots of firelogs burned, lots of NOTHING. my kinda days. 🙂 🙂 🙂 oh yeah, chris took the boys to play catch and fly a kite– he’s much more productive than I am.
so kira had an extra credit assignment to go to the Getty Museum and yesterday was the only day we could do it.. you know, because i had a lot of nothing planned for the rest of the week. 🙂 so out we went into the world.
it was a lot of work but fun too.. elsie did not practice her museum etiquette and was yelling for dada while in the exhibits– she likes to vocalize in places where she can echo. 🙂 i’m sure everyone was hoping my gang and i would move on. ha! anyways, the getty … a gorgeous place to visit.. and take pictures.. but thanks to kira’s history teacher, i was on a mad scavenger hunt and didn’t get a lot of pics.
i’m tired today.. i think today calls for not a whole lot. 🙂

Jamie, we’re alike because I am a total homebody too! Nothing wrong with that though! 🙂
Love the pictures you took at the Getty. I have been wanting to go there but haven’t yet. Seeing your photos make me want to go there just to take pictures. The first one is my favorite… they look like kid models.

I just went to the Getty for the first time over the summer. My mom took me there for the day and I LOVED IT. My grandfolks live in Bel Air and I’ve driven by the place hundreds of times but never got the chance to go. Love your photos and I’m glad you all got out for a spell!

caleb is sitting in our favorite part of the getty gardens. as soon as we saw that we decided that we had to sneak our dogs back there because they would love to splash in that little creek! I’m sure a little boy would, too! 😉
