In September we had noticed that there was this water pooling up in the cracks out front of our house. Then on the same day that California had a huge power outage, I noticed a pool of water in our garage. We called a plumber to come check on the problem, but because of this power outage he was stuck in traffic caused by non working traffic lights causing him to arrive at night when it was dark. So he and Dan using a flashlight walked around the house trying to access the situation. He turned off our water and left and did not return until the next day. We did not get our water back for several days. Adding to the pain of no water, they began to tear apart the house, leaving exposed beams, insulation, 7 fans and 5 dehumidifiers. That left the house at an inside temperature of over 90 degrees and loud noise, so we lived in our master bedroom with the door closed and went out for our meals.
Yes, it was a pain however we are very grateful for insurance that covered the majority of the $20,000! Oh yes, we did get new floors and some fresh paint! It's fun being a home owner.
Sam had a preschool play date at the Irvine Railroad Park. Pumpkin picking, hay maze, bounce house and a train ride.
We started the tradition last year, where we take Sam to to Laguna Hills for rides, including a horse ride and right before we leave we pick out our pumpkins to bring home and carve. Sam loves it!
Two of Sam's best buds, Tyler Stover and Max Mullany.
One of Sam's favorite things to do at preschool, is riding trikes and even better when it's with all of his friends.

For Sam's preschool I volunteered to help out on Orange Day (Halloween party.) We carved a pumpkin, had orange colored snacks and made pumpkin hats.
For our church Trunk or Treat Danno decided to do the shark theme, Sam and the car as sharks and Danno and I as the victims. We didn't have to ask Sam twice.
