Keeping busy back in Monterey...

 So, it WAS super nice to have gotten picked up in San Jose where the sun was shining and the fog wasn't around...it was a great day in the 90's not complaints.  The problem occurred when we got back to the apartment.  First let em brag on Mark...he cleaned and cleaned and cleaned!  Wow...I didn't know this crappy carpet was capably of looking so mush better!  He really worked hard and it was true evidence that he REALLY did miss us being around!  But being back here meant NO sun...cold weather (we are talking 50's still at night and a high 50's into low 60's)...and FOG!  Now, I understand many of you are sticking out your tongue at me because of the weather thing, but let me tell you - you'd feel the SAME way!  Yes, it IS cooler here...but it's COLD...when  you go from wearing almost nothing BACK to wearing layers of everything it's not super fun.  Plus when you add fog you are totally taking away from much playtime outside cause it's just too cold and misty.  So here are some pictures to show the kids keeping busy our first week back...by the way today, AUG 31st was the first sunny day...still cold and windy, but we were able to bask IN the sun!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!

This is about a 2 foot space- the couch is too short to fill and the fireplace comes out from the wall...I've got my sewing machine in it's box under there...add the big couch cushions and his pillow and walla...the PERFECT resting nook!!  What a doll...I think I could kiss him till his skin falls off!
