Macbeths' Madhouse: October Fun

About Us

Brad: The best daddy in the whole world! He was made for this whole fatherhood thing, I'm sure of it! he is managing a huge Auto Body shop in costa Mesa called ICC. he really enjoys all the high-end cars he gets to work with, but could do without the high-end (AKA high maintenance) customers. he is the Sunbeam teacher in our ward and all his little 3-4 year olds just love him! He loves his girls and is completely wrapped around both of their fingers! Becky: Absolutely loving being a mommy! The entire experience is so much greater than I ever could have imagined. I am loving this summer even more than the rest (if that's even possible!) and truly believe that summer is God's gift to the world - or, at least teachers! Going back in the fall will be killer. But as for now, loving all the fun times with my girls! Libby: The most energetic little bugger around! She is the ultimate chatter-box and wows us daily with all of the things she can say. She is loud, lively, and so much fun! She loves the beach, the park, Disneyland, Shamu, singing, coloring, and anything that involves getting wet. Lexi: The spunkiest little thing around! She has quite the little personality and keeps us all entertained with her drunken zombie stagger, her "blue steel" face, and her complete and total obsession with food. She loves the outdoors, tearing things apart, making messes, and books.

October Fun

Here are a few of the fun things that October has brought our way this year.

1. The Openshaws! Their fall break is always in October and it usually results in a fun visit filled with lots of beach time, plenty of trips to Thrifty's, and good old family fun! They started it off this year by all going to Legoland while I was a work - boooo! But my mom was a champ and took both girls along for the fun. They loved it and Amy and my mom enjoyed all the stares as everyone thought that all 7 of the kids were Amy's! As if 5 weren't enough!

Libby and Max had a blast playing together the whole time - no matter where they were. And, turns out they both have a huge affinity for fire-hydrants - who knew?!?

As always, we got in lots of beach time and even made sure we got a Sunday evening stroll in to watch the sunset over the ocean. It was beautiful and we were so happy to have Brad back from his backpacking trip to join us!

2. Quality friend time! Lexi and her buddy Connor have started "playing" together, just like their older siblings. Those Chang boys sure know how to make our Macbeth girls happy! ;)

3. The Annual Witch Party! One of my friends throws a girls-only witch party every year where we all dress up as witches and enjoy treats and socializing around the cauldron (AKA fire-pit) for a night away from the kids. Super fun tradition - I love it!

4. Hawk Football! Yep, fall means football - even if it is just the High School team. I drug Brad and the girls to 2 games this year and since we lost both, I'm guessing that's all I'm going to get out of Brad. This was during the Homecoming half-time show as the fireworks were going off - how cute!

Apparently Libby only smiles for one picture per event (if that!). We had fun and the girls are always a hit.

5. Goofing off! So, this is what happens when you don't buckle your ultimate-back-arching-child into the swing! It was still on, but her feet were touching the floor and she thought she was pretty hot stuff.
