Spooktacular!!

Happy Halloween!!
The boys had a great night.
Sooooo glad we enforced a nap or else there would have been no trick-or-treating......they were bouncing off the walls.

Here are the dudes all dressed up!

INDIANA JONES



HAUNTED SKELETON

'Look what I got!!'

'Just look at me!!'


Mark & I put on the essentials out of the tickle trunk.
The boys told me I was a Rock Star and Daddy was a Daddy in a Hat!!

First things first.....
.....Here are some pictures of the boys to please the Grandparents and Auntie Keri....
......they look the same to me!!! ;o)

The boys had a spirit day at school on Friday. The theme was wacky hair and clothes day. They both wore their shirts inside out and backwards and then we did this to their hair........


Carter's looks like a patch of grass and Logan looks like he got up too early....or he had been smoking some sort of grass!! (Just kidding. Ha!)
After hockey on Saturday, Mark was going to go to work to drive with a guy who is wanting to get his class one. About 10 minutes after he left I get a phone call from Mark......I knew things weren't going to be good when he starts the conversation off with,
'Ahhhh, is our AMA up to date?'
On his way, some hose blew off the transmission and pretty much didn't let the truck go anymore. I did just re-new my AMA membership but cancelled Mark's. This just meant I had to 'be' with the truck so the towing would be free.

I used this opportunity to grab some 'blog material' by taking some pictures.

The boys found it pretty entertaining........Mark did not.
Sunday morning brought another hockey game. Logan scored another goal!! While sitting in the stands, I just happened to look down and this is what I saw....
Not sure why everything that is little is cute!!

Speaking of cute.......back to last Friday at school.......in the afternoon of these Spirit days, the school has an assembly. They have a bunch of 'stuff' to do with the kids and one thing that Carter always talks about is 'Rosco' the school mascot. The class that has the most participation dressing up in the theme, gets to have Rosco for the month. Well, Carter's class had 100% participation and won Rosco!! Carter was soooo excited. His teacher even called upon him to go and get Rosco from the Principal.......in front of all the kids in the school!! She said that he was a bit hesitant at first, but once he had Rosco all was good.
So, I had to bring my camera to school and take Carter's picture with Rosco.
Pretty sure this little boy is the happiest Kindergartner out there!!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving came to Medicine Hat!
We had a good visit with Mom & Dad and Grandma & Grandpa.
Weekend activities included watching Logan play Hockey (He
scored his first goal!!), lots of shopping, card playing and a whole lot of food!
We had our turkey dinner on Saturday, just so we could have left overs on Sunday. (They are the best part!)
Here we are making a toast and having the boys tell us what we are thankful for.
Grandma brought the boys some special wine (just for Kids......Auntie could have had some too!) so they enjoyed drinking from wine glasses.

Our special centrepiece was courtesy of Carter and Mark/Dad (not sure who's idea the flowers were for sure?!?). Carter made the turkey in school and was really proud of it......and got really upset with Grandpa when he ate some of his feathers!!
We also had a lot of animals running around the house. They were spoiled just as much as the kids. Hemi got his fill of whipping cream and icing from Grandma.
The animals were thankful for each other.
After the family left yesterday, we spent a few hours cleaning the house and then we could just hang out. Ryan and Evan came over for a few hours to play later in the afternoon. I warned Ryan that the last time Evan was over to play he ended up bleeding. Not 10 minutes later, Logan came out of his bedroom crying with blood coming from his mouth!
"Mommy, Carter kicked my tooth out!"
The boys were fooling around in Logan's room and Carter had his foot in the right place at the right time and WHAM! We then were on the hunt for the tooth.
Check out the hole in the kids face now!!
Thanks for the fun weekend Ma & Pa, Grandma & Grandpa!
I'm very thankful for family, all our great friends, my three wonderful boys and life itself.
CHEERS!
