A Spence Thanksgiving

Early Morning.

Later that day, we had a total of 8 kids for thanksgiving.

We had duck, red cabbage, sweet potato mash, veggies and buns for dinner.

MMM mmmm mm.

The kids were in the basement playing and we grabbed our food and shoved it down.

The kids played well, so we actually got to sit around and eat and talk like adults. Then we went outside for a walk.

Ike was helping Elliott up which was sweet considering they just met a few hours prior.

We played in the backyard.

Then we explored the fall trees.

Everyone fought over the wagon.

We tried to get everyone together for a group photo.

Cheeese.

Wrestling.

Ipadding.

Popcorn and movies.

So much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

A Puppy Sleepover

Elliott's parents had a wedding to attend so we had a sleepover on saturday night.

Do you recognize the brown jacket? Both Mads and Bobs have worn it too.

Uje and Sabu's twin niece and nephew joined us for supper as they were also having a weekend sleepover at their aunt and uncle's. They are a few months older than Mads.

Elliott brought his puppy over for the sleepover and he fit in nicely with Mads' five puppies that he sleeps with each night.

We don't know if Elliott's puppy has a name, but Mads' puppies are: Browny, Smokey, Dalmation, Spot, and Sally (who actually belongs to Erik and he is Spot's mom). We think Elliott's puppy's name should be Ringo.

After a quiet night's sleep, the boys woke up and and the puppies played together and hid from monsters.

What's New This Week

Bobs did a special Terry Fox run today with all the kindergarteners. Look who he chose to run for. Awww. I love how the teacher spelled Morfar.

Adult Birthday Party

Yes we need to paint that deck. It's well used.

Saturday night we went to an adult birthday party (Elliott's uncle) and brought along some hot wheels to share.

Polo shirts must be the birthday party attire for little boys. Bobs doesn't like to wear them anymore as he really dislikes the collar. He had picture day last week so I bought him a fresh new shirt, without a collar.

Mads had skating again on sunday and didn't do very well. He screamed and flailed for half the lesson, so Daddy took him off the ice and brought him home. That will be a funny story when he is an olympic gold medal speed skater....
