Mads Comes to Work with Me

There was a community event put on by the local city councillor and my office was invited. I brought Mads along and he was in heaven learning dance moves.

He even tried out some breakdancing.

It was really fun being at an event with Mads and getting to know people in the neighbourhood.

Thanksgiving and Getting the Cabin Ready for Winter

We had a lot of leaves to collect this weekend

Daddy tried out the leaf blower.

Mads and Bobs took turns burying each other.

We experimented with the photo options on the iphone. We did a bunch of slo-mo leaf throwing videos. They won't work properly on this blog.

We had a simple thanksgiving meal of chicken, gravy, green beans, yam-nut-apple casserole, pull apart rosemary bread, and three deserts - birthday cake, apple spice cake and pumpkin pie.

Then we put leaves in 23 bags. 

There was a huge wind storm and a large tree fell in the path on the way to the beach.

Bobs interrupted Mormor's book.

Happy Thanksgiving.

It's Been Awhile

 

We went to the cabin this weekend and stopped midway at a road side diner car.

 

 

We also had Sushi on the way home and Mads learned to eat with chopsticks.

None of the kids would try sushi though. Mads even said out loud " that sushi looks like a butt!!! What is that horrible smell?" Embarassing.

They were thrilled to have their usual friends at the cabin, this time with plastic guns.

We tried to go to the Lacombe Corn Maze, but it wasn't open on a sunday. We had coffee and played at a playground in Lacombe. What a cute little city.

 

It was quite cold, at around 0 degrees both days. Next weekend should be much nicer for thanksgiving.

 

Crummy Weather, Good Company
