Thats right the total for this year is more than double last year. We added 30 boxes of twinkling net lights to the lawn bringing the new total 8335 lights. The great thing about these lights are they only use a total 425 watts which comes out to about 11 cents ever 2 hours. To put things into perspective our Christmas tree with 300 standard lights uses 305 watts.
Santa visits Rocklin again. He is greeted with three more kids this year. The triplets to be exact. Like last year Austin got up there and showed everyone how it was done. Kaitlyn followed soon after and wanted nothing to do with the man in red. Sydney and Lucas also wanted nothing to do with him while the triplets who didn’t know better sat and pulled at his beard. All of them got a present from Santa so they were happy. We snapped a handful of good pictures. Sadly everyone had a camera so each kid was looking at a different one for the group shots. Maybe next year we will be more organized.
Another Halloween has past and lots more scared kids visited the Sawin house. This year we added lots of new items including a second fog machine, things that drop from the sky and best of all eerie music. The sounds of cat fights, ravens, and other eerie sounds kept many kids and teenagers walking right on by our house. I figure the more that walk by the more candy I will have after Halloween. We started Halloween early this year. The kids started out painting pumpkins while the big kids took power tools to the rest of the pumpkins. Will won this year with an Elmo pumpkin. Overall another great Halloween, I can’t wait until next year. Click on the picture below to see more pictures.
Another Saturday morning at the park. We discovered why other kids don’t go to the park early. We all know its not because the kids like to sleep in but the slides are wet. Kaitlyn’s cousins came out to play also. Click to see more pictures
