Dinner time with the Archers
So you shouldn't turn your head for even a moment at dinner time. I wasn't paying attention until Harrison started laughing really hard. I myself couldn't swallow because I started laughing. I was then told by Scott that I "shouldn't encourage that behavior." Ok so hard not to when you see your child like this.....

William's first hair cut
Well it took over 21 months to grow what he has and it was time for his very first hair cut. What a big day! It was just a little trim and we received a frame for his locks and a picture to remember this special event. They both had a good time at the Kids and Co Hair Salon. There was a playroom in the back with a slide, maze and ball pit. But when it came time for the hair cut, William got to choose between a four wheeler, horse, motorcycle and jeep. He chose the motorcycle.

Colorful People
Do you like people watching? I love people watching. Concerts are the best places for it. We thought Stephanie and Kelly would enjoy some people watching at Venice Beach today. It is known for its colorful people. No matter what day you go, you will always find something or someone entertaining.
You may see the Reggae man with a large guitar playing for a few women...
You might see the guy with skin tight shorts....

Upgrade to the Big Boy Bed
This morning we had to lower Harrison's crib so we figured it was time to adjust Will's bed too. He had been in his crib with a crib tent on it for a few months since he had been able to climb out. We had been putting it off since we knew that he wouldn't nap again. And we were right. He was very excited about his new bed so he jumped right in and curled up. A few minutes later, we knew he wasn't sleeping when heard him walking around in his cowboy boots and saw his hand under the door :)

Back at home
The boys, Belle and I came home this afternoon. The Sesnon fire is close but I think we are going to be just fine. It smells like someone is burning leaves outside but not necessarily in a good way. It is an overpowering smell that hurts when you breathe it in. There are ashes everywhere. My chest is still hurting really bad from yesterday. The good thing is that the fire is now on the other side of the 118 Freeway from us so it is unlikely it will jump the freeway. It is loud at our house as dozens of helicopters continue to fly over with their water drops. The other good thing is that it doesn't smell inside our house like it did yesterday so it is manageable to stay home now.
How crazy. I never thought when we moved to California that we would experience all of these things within a 3 month time span (earthquake and fire). I like California but come on, can you throw us a bone here?! And now that there is this fire, we can expect all of those fun animals and creatures to make their way into the neighborhood (scorpions, rattlesnakes, more spiders, coyotes, etc). At first I liked that we were so close to the mountains (3 houses down) but now....I don't know.

Fire Update
We had a mandatory evacuation soon after my last post. I wasn't able to get much more in the truck besides ourselves. We headed back to our house after 5:30pm and were let back into our neighborhood. After eating dinner and watching the news, we decided to leave. We could see flames from our house and the newscasters were saying that winds were supposed to reach 70mph tonight. I am glad we left for our safety even though William will not go to sleep now. He thinks we are having a slumber party. As we left our neighborhood, there were 7 firetrucks just waiting. If you look at a map, Santa Susana pass is where the fire is (Porter Ranch). The Santa Susana turns into Kuehner which is our exit to our house. It is scary and we just hope we wake up tomorrow to good news.
