So we’re back home. Glad to be home but at the same time we wish we were still in California. We had a really nice time. We got to see family and friends. We stayed with my dad and step mom until Thanksgiving day, then we drove to Vallejo dropped our stuff off at Jamie’s and then headed to Ken and Karen’s. We spent the rest of the trip visiting family and friends. We went to Apple Hill on Saturday. The kids had a lot of fun. I got my pumpkin fudge. Mmmm.

Fumiko and her Great Grandma Fumiko. Sorry it’s blurry. I forgot my camera. >.<

We got to see Clan Tata too. We headed to Cliche’s house and played the new mario game on the Wii and then went out to dinner with Tieria/Kinon/Cliche/Bismol and Sam. Was awesome! Before we left we also visited Kinon at his apartment and ate yummy chinese food with Tieria/Sam/Bismol and Kinon, and then played a um board game. Also Fumiko broke one of Kinon’s plates.

Lots of stuff happened and I need more time to type it all out. But we had lots of fun and miss everyone already. We has lots to do too. Must take a look at office furniture since Kai’s chair mysteriously broke while we were gone. And some of our dishes mysteriously disappeared. Seriously. My mom has no idea what happened to them. Oh also friends of my mom took Kiyoshi and Eevee home and then some other friends took Puff. So we are pet less. We miss them, but they went to good homes.

So Sascha’s birthday is getting closer. It’s on Monday. :O David and Dianna arrived yesterday so Sascha is pretty excited about that. We picked up Sascha’s birthday presents last night and the day before. We got him a pair of Converse from Target. They’re dark gray with gray skulls on the back. We also picked him up a couple of long sleeve shirts since he doesn’t have many. They’re thermal-ish material and have pretty cool designs on the front. One is a phoenix and the other is a guitar with wings. And then there is the gift from my mom. She got him a new DS Lite. He’ll be excited once he opens that up. It’s a modded DS, with a crystal see through case. It’s pretty awesome. We’ll be doing potato salad and chicken kabobs on Monday provided mother nature allows us to do so. I’m also making him a chocolate mousse cake with home made whipped cream and most likely getting ice cream to go with it. Kai will be doing the kabobs on the grill. Yummy. Speaking of grill I managed to run across grill guards and I assumed they were for barbecue grills. I thought to myself “Someone must be pretty bad with a grill to need guards on it… ” and then actually clicked on the link and found out it had nothing to do with grills. It was for cars! Go me!

Will be making a private post soon. I know I keep saying that, but then I get distracted. But ugh I need to. The whole situation with my moms husband is bad.
