Halloween

This past weekend we celebrated Marisol and Flynn's 6th birthday at Legoland. They decided to do this instead of having a birthday party, but we are already members of Legoland so I wanted to make their birthday celebration there a little more special. I found a great Plum District for two nights accommodation in a villa with beautiful ocean views at the Grand Pacific Palisades, which is right across the street, and then we told the kids they could each invite a friend (and their friend's family) to join us at Legoland for a day of fun. Thankfully our Plum District deal also included tickets to Legoland and with a recent Klout Perk in hand too, we were pretty much covered for tickets for our guests.

On Friday afternoon Legoland was attempting a world record for having the most vampires in the same location at the same time. Unfortunately we fell short, but with over 700 vampires in attendance, it really was quite a sight. Of course the kids and I dressed as vampires to attend. This was a great way to kick off our weekend of fun.

Now, I don't profess to be an expert when it comes to face painting. I can whip up a quick costume, but I don't have a terribly steady hand so I normally stick to the basics when it comes to painting faces. However there is a bonus to being a Klutz Books Ambassador, they sent me the Face Painting book which comes with make-up, a sponge, and a brush. A bonus, was they had a tutorial for making a vampire face that was perfect for the little man.
