Halloweeeeeeeen


On monday night, we carved the pumpkin and roasted the seeds. Bobs had the most fun picking out all the spices that would go on the seeds.


They practiced trick or treating using hot wheels.


At daycare, we weren't sure if they were supposed to dress in their costumes so we only had them with their skeleton shirts on. When Bobs saw all the other kids in his class dressed up, daddy had to drive back home and grab their costumes.


It was quite cold out this year. -7 the last I checked, with lots of snow.


KC is a construction worker. I think most of the kids looked like construction workers with their toques and warm clothes and hats.


Elliott was a skunk - a very cute one at that and I don't think he was very stinky either.




It was quite the challenge to get all 5 boys dressed and ready to head outside. This is the coldest Halloween so far in their lives.


I think only around 20 kids came to the house. This is a third of what we usually get.


You can see Bobs' artwork from daycare on the wall behind the kids.




The parents wore hockey jerseys to dress up a little bit. In the past, we have dressed in other sporting gear, and one year we were oil and gas field workers.


Honestly, we all now have more candy than we know what to do with including all the candy I bought that didn't get handed out.



Bonus photo of Ike and Missy in Regina. Mermaid and a pumpkin!! I just love the poses.

Friday Fun


Mads loves his firehat so much, that he brings it to the breakfast table.


I had the day off from work and so I planned a fun day with the kids. We started off at Vecova in the morning to meet Elliott and his mom at the gym.


We got there early so we had the gym mostly to ourselves for the first 15 minutes.


In the afternoon, the boys had haircuts and then after daddy came home from work, we went to a Fall Fair at the local neighbourhood church.


We walked over with some of the other kids in the neighbourhood. We went last year as well and they always do such a great set up.


Daddy hung out by the bouncy castle with Bobs, while Mads and I checked out a few stations.


We decorated a cookie, and Mads could not believe he was actually allowed to eat it.


They had popcorn and hot dogs just like a real fair. Mads was having a great time.

Fondu Night


We went to Elliott's house tonight for cheese and chocolate fondue.


After supper, we played outside in the snow.




Then we went in the hot tub, and finished off with chocolate fondue.


Group photo from last night

 Something like 33 kids and 25 adults were at the party last night. Most know each other from as far back as 15 years ago at the University of Calgary.

We finally got a new camera. I dropped the old one on the rocks at Elbow Falls. Enjoy our Elbow Falls photos from September long weekend.
