The Costumes

This year we went with purchased costumes. Here are my ghoulish creatures of the night posing with a kindred spirit on our lawn:




Here is a close-up of Katerina's head and her make-up:

Hallowe'en Pumpkins

The kids picked out the patterns and traced them on the pumpkins. I did the carving, except for Shayna's pumpkin. She did her own. Joel doesn't have one because he was away this Hallowe'en. In picture order: Shayna, Joshua, Katerina, Isabella, and then mine.

Birthday party

The twins had their birthday party last weekend. They turned 9 years old. We had the party at a bowling alley. Here is a picture of the boys:




Here is a picture of the girls (plus one boy):




And, the group shot:

I wanted to borrow their bags

The poor, poor Eskimos. At least the loss tonight to the Stampeders wasn't as awful as the last two times. These guys were sitting a couple of rows behind us tonight.



I took the twins and 2 of the neighbour kids (their first time to a CFL game). We still had a good time but we did leave a little bit early as it was a 7:00 pm start.

Friends!

Last week, I accidentally locked the cat in with the dog overnight. I guess they came to an understanding that night.

First Day of School

New school year. A brand new school. The same pose as last year. lol

Isabella's new fashion accessory

She was very excited to get these. My little fashionista initially picked out the most expensive frames, but we settled on a moderately priced pair. She really likes these, too.
