Legoland
 
Couple of weekends ago Sam and Jess, the M's, Jess' mom and I went to Legoland--which was
 
 
 
FULL of Legos, as you can imagine.
 
 
 
Just one example--an armored suit built out of Legos,
 
 
 
Legos even in the swimming pool.
 
 
 
It was all a blast--loved it, but glad I didn't go on this ride!

The America I Want
 
 
 
When I was watching Maddie and Max's school Halloween parade in Burbank last week, I realized that standing in front of me were parents representing the mix that constitutes America: several African Americans, an Asian, a Latino, and a Muslim woman in a hijab.  Behind me was a white guy on a ladder.  All were there for their children, and that mix of kids was marching around the circle together, totally happy together. 
This is what I want America to be.

Quite creative goodies:  

 
 
 
 
Wonder how tasty a bat brownie is?
