Brrrr....

and it looks like winter has hit with a shiver and snow storm.  It was sooo windy and cold.  You could barely see the other side of the valley while we were driving to playschool!  It's horrible out there, but there are some pluses.  Marc stayed home from work today and it looks like he'll be home tomorrow as well.  Maybe that means there will be pictures of some Christmas baking in the forecast?  Stay tuned!

Halloween party at Playschool

So even with the horrible weather we trekked out to the Family Centre for Preston's playschool Halloween party.  I was able to snap a quick picture of him showing Mrs. Tober his dinosaur costume.  He was so proud of his costume and has been asking all week if it was "Halloween" so he could wear his costume.

And on our way home I looked in my rear view mirror to start laughing.  Preston had picked these glasses for a prize and although before we left playschool he wasn't happy he had picked it (he wanted a whistle straw that a few of the other kids had picked).  He thought they were pretty cool after we all laughed at him wearing them.  What a goofball!

A trip to the Pumpkin Patch

On our way home from Somerset we made a pit stop at Meandher Creek's Pumpkin Patch in Oak Lake.  Since it was the end of their season there weren't too many pumpkins for picking, but the boys had a blast running around, checking out the farm animals, and even played in the little straw bale maze.  I was also able to get a picture of all of them in this cute sign which I never did before! 

Lachie wanted a picture of himself sitting beside the pumpkins and sat right down and said "cheese".  What a good little fella!

  

And then we have our newest pick o' the patch, Wyatt in his cute little pumpkin had made by yours truely : )  He was all smiles even though he had wiggled himself away from the pumpkins just before I caught this picture and and fallen over.  We will definitely have to make a day of the Patch next year as there were many things we didn't get a chance to do as it was almost closing time when we got there, but I did have to get my Pumpkin Patch pictures for the year.

Harvest Ball

So this was a day for me to enjoy what I like most...creating layouts for past, present and future memories.  Check out my scrapbooking blog for more details and upcoming picture of some of the layouts I created today.

What an awesome Friday!

So Marc had taken today off so we could head to Somerset this afternoon with the boys.  Which means it's an awesome day to be me!!!!  He's the one that cooks breakfast and I requested french toast.  I loaded it up with whip cream, syrup and strawberries and man was it AWESOME!!!  It's been so long since we've had a chance to be at home for a homemade breakfast.  It's been a crazy summer and fall so this was a welcome treat : )

Beautiful weather today

It was a beautiful day today so the boys and I walked over to the mail.  When we got there I had a parcel and this was what was in it : )

This was Wyatt's backup halloween costume.  Isn't he cute?  I'll have to do a photoshoot with him in it a little later in the winter as it's a little too big for him, but I just had to take a picture right now.

 And after we got home the boys wanted to play outside so we rode bikes, played in the sandbox and had some swing time.  It will probably be one of the last times before it gets too cold out so they really enjoyed the outdoor time.

It's getting colder outside...

So on our way home from gymnastics we saw the big ring around the sun.  Sundogs this early is a little scary as it's a sign that it's very cold outside so I hope this isn't a warning of what's to come!
