Happy Halloween

 

Happy Halloween!!!!  Each year I put together costumes made specifically to go over snow suits. Generally they are home made costumes as they are the most fun to create and that's what I did growing up. However, this year I made an exception and bought the girls these "fancy" outfits (they were on sale LOL). They absolutely LOVED them!! They do make a pretty adorable pirate and princess!!

 

 

 

 

Dad's handywork again.

More of Dad's creations.

Brains, worms, bobbing for DONUTS!!

Today I stayed with my youngest girl Ely in her pre-k class for their Halloween Party!! They had it all, worms, spiders, games, treats and Bobbing for DONUTS!!!! That was a very YUMMY twist on the traditional game of apples.  Of course my very shy Ely didn't want to go for the donut so MOM had to. LOL. Took me a couple of tries but I did it!!  Wonder what FUN we'll have in Emm's class tomorrow??

 

 

 

 

Frosty frosty day

 

These last few days have been nothing but heavy ice fog and frosty things!!! The weatherman says a chinook is headed our way...hmmm wonder when???

 

 

 

Frost on the Pumpkin

There's a line in the old Cal Smith song  "Country Bumpkin" about "frost on the pumpkin".  (I love old old country songs, strange I know. )

 

Anyhooo, I was playing outside with my girls today and noticed that our pumpkins are looking a bit frosty.  These are just a few on our front step, thanks to Auntie Cheryl we have a nice spooky pumpkin patch for our Halloween display this year.

 

 

 

Where do they go?

 

 

I went for a drive the other day and came upon some train tracks, ever wonder just how far they really go?? They seem to be fading fast around small towns these days. At one time they were the way to travel and now they seem to haul freight rather than passengers.

 

 

 

A trying session.

 

A couple of weeks ago when leaves still scattered the ground I tried taking some photos of my girls.  Well as luck would have it, one would smile and the other wouldn't. One would cooperate and the other NOT!! LOL.  I suppose that's the way with sisters and children. At any rate I did end up with a few cute captures.

 

 

 

Her Favourite time of the year

 

 

First thing this morning, Emm looks out her window and lets out an excited "Woo Hoo". This girl LIVES for winter! She even asked me today if she could shovel the snow. LOL Oh Yes Dear of course you can!! The wind was blowin' from the North and the snow was coming down in heaps today. I bet I shoveled our driveway about 3 times today (darn drifts).  First thing she asks when she got home from school was to play in the snow.  I let her dog Ben out with her and I'm not really sure who had more fun, him or her.
