our epic day :)

Mondays are often tough to get through and i was betting today would be one of those Mondays! Granny got on a plane back to Halifax yesterday so with one less adult the kids were a little cranky at 4am (Wesley) and 5:30am (Isobel) when they woke up for the day. But the stars aligned and the day turned out pretty good. By 8:30 there was a crew out front digging up the storm drain grates and Hydro One cherry pickers in the back cutting trees. Safe to say that took up the morning.

 

 

 

 

We did a fun experiment  with red cabbage too! We soaked red cabbage in hot water for a half an hour then mixed in baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice. The colors changed and then when the kids mixed them back together again they changed back to purple...pretty neat stuff!!

   

new family member!

 

We got a new pet a few weeks ago and I've been trying to get a picture up but it's been a little crazy around here with Halloween and a visit from Grannie. But Flipper is fitting in well and the kids are loving him :)

trick or treat

The kids had a great Halloween, and we had a fun watching them get so excited! We carved pumpkins and then hit the road as soon as the rain let up! We did about 12 houses and they pretty much hit the trick or treat jack pot :) Wesley and Isobel had a friend trick or treating with them and together they were all pretty brave! They remembered their "trick or treats", and "thank you". Isobel preferred to say "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
