I mentioned that I 're-did' my massage room here at the house, this is a picture of the red paint. I still need to get some art on the walls and a few more personal touches, but it is coming.
A couple of weeks ago, the Holiday Train came through Medicine Hat. We have never seen it before so I thought this year we could go and take a look. I got this great idea to head out to where the train would be coming into the Hat, so we could watch it go right past us. We actually went out to where Mark used to work, Earthworks. It was pitch black and no one else around. I had my camera ready to capture the train and then we heard on the radio that the train was already downtown! We had missed it. I did have fun taking pictures of the boys in the dark. The flash just about blinded them, so I had them close their eyes until just before the picture was taken. For some reason when I told them to open their eyes, their mouths had to open as well.
When we did finally get down to the train station, I was disappointed. They were talking about the train on the radio and the one dude asked if the train could be seen from space. The responce was, 'I would like to think so!' So I was expecting a lot of lights! But there wasn't. See for yourself, this is the engine car.
We of course had to take the boys to see Santa at his castle in the mall. I have pictures of past visits to Santa out and Carter saw himself crying and reaching for us. He was a bit concerned that he may cry again this year. We had to explain to him that we was little then and there is no need to be scared of Santa. The visit went well. They even got a reindeer ride on Santa's knee!
Carter had a little Christmas party at his school that consists of singing songs and then making some crafts as well as decorating cupcakes and cookies. I always enjoy watching these little kids singing their hearts out. Here's the little dude getting lined up by his teachers.
Ross Glen school alternates having a school Christmas concert and this year was a year that they had a family fun night at the school instead. On his last day of school, all the classes did put on a small little concert. Logan was too far away for me to get any good pictures of him, but I did get one of him as he was walking back to his classroom. During this time, a girl from another class was walking out as well, but left her mark while leaving. She threw-up all over the floor! When going through my pictures on the camera later in the day, this is what I saw......
Did you see it.......I captured the girl in action! YUCK!! I'm very glad she missed Logan and only got the floor.
Just last night we had our 'Christmas' with the Ertmoed's. We had four very excited boys running around. Good thing Christmas is only once a year and is only 5 days away! They did sit still for a couple pictures.
Carter has been having 'bad dreams' again the past couple of nights. A client of mine gave the boys a gaurdian angel on a cross a few years ago. I have been giving this to Carter to tell him that she will keep him safe. When we were going to bed last night this is how we found Carter.......
.....nothing but sweet dreams last night.
