Saturday

We got a new van a 2001 Toyota Sienna. It runs so much better, doesn't vibrate! It doesn't kill while driving or have the RPM's drop out on the freeway and hiccup, woohoo! Speakers work and the air conditioning. It has volume and radio station controls on the steering wheel!


We went to Alona's soccer game in the freezing cold, had lunch with Grandpa while Paul played games with uncle Jared. After picking him up, having dinner and playing a bit left and stopped Gardner Village on the way home. There were a ton of witches to look at. One stuck to the side of a building, one in an out-house, one brewing at a cauldron, dancing, flying, playing baseball, hula hooping, driving a team of ghosts in a covered wagon. I liked some of the sayings that they had, "Just us girls", "Will cast spells for chocolate", "you call me a witch like its a bad thing." The girls were real troopers, their mother doesn't whine or complain about the cold, their daddy wanted to go to the car and they stayed with mommy and finished looking at the witches. We would have missed so much had we not stayed. We went there after eight o'clock so all of the shops were closed, I'll have to remember that next time so that we can get hot chocolate!
