I cut the boys hair last week and grabbed the wrong guard when I went to do the top of Tyler's head, so now he looks like he's in boot camp. Good thing he's too young to care. I brought lunch to Jake at school for Lunch with Dads week on Monday and Kristin made it back from her business trip for both of us to go to his Thanksgiving feast on Friday with the kindergarten classes. Kristin and I went with friends to the San Diego food and wine festival Saturday and stayed overnight down town. Jakes pre-school teacher from before we moved, Ms. Stephanie, came and stayed with the boys and they had fun. Jake has off school next week so Kristin arranged for Jake to go to his old pre-school with Tyler for a couple days so that should be neat although we had to explain to him that his old class mates aren't there anymore.

It finally feels like fall here, the leaves are changing/falling and it's perfect sweatshirt weather. Today we went to Midland park to ride the train and play on the playground there. Kristin heads off for a business trip this week. Tomorrow I'm meeting Jake for lunch at his school.

We didn't have soccer this weekend so the boys and I went to Home Depot to build a project. They had their choice of three different ones... a boat, a tool box and a helicopter. Needless to say they chose to build the helicopter. We had friends over both Saturday night and Sunday night for dinner. The kids had a blast playing. The boys had off today, so Kristin had to take off because unfortunately I had to work. A veteran that has to work on Veterans Day! They had fun but reaffirmed Kristin's choice NOT to be a stay at home Mom.

The boys finished out soccer for the season. The next season starts up in a couple weeks.
