Halloween!!!!

Another Halloween Sneakpeak

Halloween is this evening. Just like last year, we went to Mormor and Morfar's house for lunch and dressed up for them. Bobs is a Construction Worker. Mads is... well... a blue bear or something. I didn't want to spend money on a costume so we used an existing outfit that has ears on the hood. Bobs' didn't cost a penny either. He already has the tools for toys and the hat was Daddy's from his field days. It fits Bobs just barely at the smallest setting, with a toque underneath. 

Mads has been waking up really early lately. Around 5:30am. This doesn't bode well for the time change coming up next week - Fall Forward. It means he will be up at 4:30 am. Yikes!

Mads sits up and Bobs tries to go Potty

Mormor came over on tuesday and we made an apple cake with apples from her garden that she was happy to get rid of. We also coloured a face on a paper bag to make a big mask.

Mads likes to sit up for longer periods of time.

Over the weekend, we went to Kristin's place and she carved our pumpkin for us. 

Here are all the boys within the same camera shot. I knew I had to get a photo fast.

Shawn is now in the hospital. His bone marrow transplant actually takes place today. The procedure is much like receiving a regular blood product. The recovery will be difficult and long, however, and the chemo and treatments leading up to the transplant were arduous. Keep him in your prayers today.

Photos from Kristin's Camera

This photo is neat because it was taken while Bobs was staying at Joachim and Kristin's while Mads was being born at the hopsital. This is his first look at his little brother from a photo Daddy sent using his blackberry.

It has been extra busy around our house lately. Our friend Shawn is in town and is staying with us while he prepares for a bone marrow transplant next week. We are going back and forth to the hospital with him where we can. Mads cheered up a waiting room on tuesday. After next week, Shawn will be at the hospital recovering and getting better for about 5 weeks and then he will stay with us again for awhile until he can go back to Edmonton.

A few loose ends need to be tied up with our kitchen. Then throw laundry, groceries, naptimes and meals into the mix, and you have a busy busy house! I am trying to convince Shawn to start a blog about his experience as a way to let his friends know how he is doing. I'll be sure to add a link if it happens.
