Merry Christmas

From Santa and his little helpers.

Love Those Sunny Winter Days

Here are the boys at Sargean Bay Provincial Park this morning. Tried to get together and sit still and smile at the same time. No such luck!

Watch Out Death Star

Here comes the Rebel Alliance!

Birthday Masks

Venom and Iron Man!

Owen's 5th Birthday Party

Owen turned 5 on Sunday. We had a Star Wars party at the pool in the party room complete with an R2D2 cake and a Death Star pinata. The presents were a hit, especially the iron man mask which can make a room full of 5 year olds squeal!

The Loot

All in all it was a fun filled event. Owen hooked up with a couple pals and ran from house to house for nearly two hours. Theo overcame his initial trepidation and by the end was running his hardest to keep up with the boys. They were so far ahead that thye were usually on to the next driveway before Theo could even get to the door of the first house.

The funniest part of the evening when Yoda and Commander Cody waived their light sabres and a pack of trick or treaters and Theo jumped into the mix and waived his uponed fruit bar at them - A jedi warrior in training!

The Way Home

The sugar high kicks in and the boys double home on the stroller made for one.

Yoda and Commander Cody

Yoda & The Caterpiller

Yoda, minus the green face paint and the 'cacter-priller' take it to the streets tonight.

Pumpkin Carving

We don't get any trik or treaters down are dark and scary road but we carved the pumpkins today just in case! The boys got to choose their own design, Ann carves and I clean the insides.

Happy Thanksgiving

We planted these beets back in March and some of them grew pretty big. Looks like borscht for the next week.

Hockey

We've enrolled Owen in the One Goal program. For $50 they loan you all the equipment and teach you how to skate. Here he is on week 2 already skating around the ice!

Halloween comes early around here

Ann found this 'official movie merchandise' labeled Cat in the Hat costume at the Thrift Store for 2 Bucks! Co-incidentally Cat in the Hat is the boy's favourite cartoon these days. Owen still wants to be Yoda this Halloween but this costume got some mileage the other day along with Theo's

Owen and Abigaele

Here's Owen and his pal Abigaele at the beach having a little snuggle.

First Day of School

On the way to Kindergarten. What a big boy!

At Home Warming Up for Digger Days

Theo's new favourite past time, watching garbage trucks and fire trucks on youtube:

Bat Men

Owen and his pal Lucas getting their chests painted at the face painting station:

With the band

Owen further exploring his love of the microphone and getting right into the action with African drummer Jean Pierre Makosso. Good thing JP was gracious enough to share the spotlight:

The Co-Emcees

Owen exploring his new found love for microphones and public speaking:

Digger Day

Ann and a few of the mothers from the day care organised a 'digger day' fundraiser. Tons of trucks and tractors were on site for the day and the kids got to climb all over them...a pull the air horns until their hearts contented.
