Ice Skating

My sister Jessica and her husband put their daughter in ice skating and invited Emma to join. She ended up falling in love with it and really wants to keep going. We're really lucky because we live so close to the Olympic Oval, where obviously the Olympics were held here, and they have amazing teachers. She only went to 3 lessons and past the test to move onto the next level. We're really excited that she found something she loves and hope to start up again in January. (I just wonder why she picked a sport were I get to freeze while she has fun? The sacrifices we make.)

Carving Pumpkins the Lazy Man's Way

Okay, so it's not really that we're lazy, it's I'm mean and hate the mess carving pumpkins make. I think they turned out cute though. And the kids really loved them. They got to help a lot more than if we were using our sharpest knives to carve them. There was a lot less yelling, don't touch that, and don't poke your sister with that, and don't throw that crap on my carpet! I think this will be our new tradition, plus it takes like 5 minutes (perfect FHE)!

Catch Up

Okay I'm playing catch up, although this isn't everything I'd like to post it's the most current. Next year I will be much better, well hopefully! I didn't set the standard too high this year so it shouldn't be too difficult to beat it next year right?





We went to a pumpkin patch this year and it was so much fun. As you can see the kids had a blast, well Grady had a blast when he wasn't face down in the dirt. Steady there little man.
