Boooo :)

Halloween is fast becoming my favourite holiday. The kids have a blast, you get to have parties and chocolate and face paint...so much fun! We've been decorating for a while and today we had a Halloween party with some of Wesley and Isobel's friends. Here's a few pics of our pre Halloween fun, happy haunting everyone!

Firestation

 

Here's some pictures of our trip to the fire station last weekend. The kids love the fire trucks and they even had a pancake breakfast on the go!!

 

 

 

a few moments of quiet!!!

For about a half an hour the other afternoon all was quiet in my house. It doesn't happen much that my house goes more then a few moments without someone looking for something so I enjoyed  it...and had to sneak in a few pictures :)

We just moved a big table into the Wesley's room so that he could keep his growing Playmobil collection set up and play with it more easily. He's been loving it and is even letting Isobel join in every now and then.

But while Wesley was working at his Playmobil Isobel was hanging out with Fiona. She read her stories for a long while. Fiona is always patient and loves the attention. She seems to like the books about farm animals the best :)

Fall

 

We've been enjoying our cooler weather and have been taking in every sunny day we can. I could almost feel the snow today...burr! But i do love fall, it's my favourite time of year. the leaves, the pumpkins, thanksgiving and Halloween...what's not to love! Our trees out front have started to change and we've started decorating for Halloween.

 

We've also been hitting the shore close to our house whenever we can. One of the best parts of our neighbourhood, and Kingston is being able to walk to the water!

 

happy thanksgiving

 

 

Wishing everyone a great long weekend, here's just a few things I'm thankful for :)

 

Early christmas :)

Wesley picked out this Christmas book from the library last week and I had to share it. It was pretty cute, and has some fun crafts in it. The mice make all their Christmas presents (instructions included) and Wesley thought this was pretty interesting. We made the snail cookies (mini cinnamon rolls) and they were so easy that all i did was read the instructions to him and make sure he had the right measurements. Perfect kids recipe that I'll be pulling out again and the kids loved them. I did cut the sugar in half and it went unnoticed ;)

Petrol

We have this beautiful black cat that comes to visit us every now and then. He'd like to move in, but Francis and Fiona aren't so sure :) The kids love him because he meows incessantly and pretty much climbs right up your leg. I love him because he has five toes...big paws are pretty darn cute!! Wesley has officially named him Petrol because he "patrols the neighbourhood".

Francis and Fiona hiss at him...through the window but don't want to come out.
