Happy Halloween!!

How can it be Halloween already!! The kids were so excited to carve pumpkins and get ready for dressing up. Jayda got makeup to wear and for days on end so bugged me to put it on!!! I was ready to throw it out!

The pictures are a little out of order! We went to quite a few houses and they ate a lot of candy. Everyone is so generous with what they give out!!

Jody and Ricky joined us again this year. It was so much fun! Ricky is 3 1/2 and gets so excited about everything!! The Telus flag stuck in the ground, cats, solar lights etc, etc! He is so cute! I was also surprised that Keagan wore his wizard costume. He wanted to be Batman again (I think he has worn it at least 2 times for Halloween) Aunty Trisha found it for him and I think it is super cool. He has a magic set at home and plays with it all the time. He couldnt see very well and got pretty hot.

The last harvest

The kids and I went for one last ride with Dad this fall when he was combining the canola. The kids just love to be with Grandpa and I think they help keep him awake!! You will have to check out Trishas post, she wrote a very nice tribute to the farm boys. I am sorry that this is so late being posted.....I havent been very good to keep up this blog!

Waiting for the bus

Keagan may be hard to get out of bed in the morning for school but he is usually out waiting for the bus for 20 minutes. He loves to ride his bike up and down the driveway until the bus comes. Jayda has to make sure that she says hi to Bill the bus driver and then we walk back to the house. Keagan doesn't have much to say about school but I know that he likes it! He has been learning so much. The first week he said that it wasn't as much fun as kindergarten and he liked recess! I sure hope it will never be a fight to get him there.

Lets try again!

Keagan wouldn't let me get a good picture of him on his first day of school....he just doesn't cooperate!! It drives me crazy, doesn't he know that I am a scrapbooker???? One day he will wonder why there isn't many pictures of him!! So these were the second or third day of school!

So I was fairly proud of my pretty pupcakes that I made for the party!! All the kids enjoyed them (they mostly just licked the icing off and left the cake!!) I got the cute stand from Tanya's garage sale (she always has the best stuff!!) and it worked perfect!

How many parties can a four year old have?!? Today Jayda had Madi, Kenna, Bilan, Selma, Ricky, Rayden and Easton over to help her celebrate. They had so much fun!! Jayda had such a hard time waiting for the presents!! They made their own pizza's and some of them had a few bites out of them before they even got to the oven! We all enjoyed pizza and then "Pupcakes" as Jayda calls them. Then she opened the presents!!! What a lucky girl. Once that was done there was a pinata downstairs. They all enjoyed hitting that and I am pretty sure that Keagan got most of the candy-even with Ben holding him back!! That sure made him mad!! Jayda got LOTS of Polly Pockets (lots of pieces to lose!!) so the girls had a great time playing with them. Kenna & Selma got to stay for a sleepover with Jayda and they are all asleep!! AH peace and quiet!! This party planning is tiring!!
