Happy Halloween

we had a Halloween party today so we got to don the costumes a day early ....

we have been trying to teach Sam to say "trick or treat" and he smiles REAL big and yells "BIG TRUCK" - somehow he got trick to be truck. but he's so cute & enthusiastic about it, we're pretty sure it will work.

Happy Halloween everyone! :)

Deliveries

we got 2 deliveries yesterday .... an order of frozen meat and new tires. the frozen meat came on dry ice so we put the ice on water and made fog - Sam thought it was SOOO COOL!

and the tires were lots of fun to play in ...

...and on! this picture came right after asking "Sam, is that safe?!" you can tell by the look on his face that he knows it is probably not :)

Happy Thanksgiving

Sunday morning we went to South Glenmore Park for a family photo shoot. Sam was not really the most cooperative so we'll see how they actually turn out (he's 1.5 and we were at a playground - imagine that he didn't want to pose for pictures!)

Eating pie at thanksgiving dinner #2 .... PIGGY!

What's a lion say??

RRROAAR! :)

Fall Fun

One of my favorite things as a mom is living the simple moments through Sam's eyes and we did that today! Sam and I were on our way to do errands this afternoon and the car said +24 and I looked around at the beauty of the fall colors and turned the car around and drove to the park to play in the leaves. we had a blast running down hills and falling in the leaves, shuffling our feet in the leaves, throwing leaves at each other, crushing the leaves .....

we ended up staying a bit longer at the park than I planned. Mom was having so much fun with Sam and put her keys down in the leaves!! Then when we were ready to go - WHERE ARE MY KEYS??!! After the panic subsided, I realized there was no option but to find the keys (all I took with me was the keys and the camera) so I methodically started going through the leaves until I found them. luckily we stayed in one area and it only took a few minutes to find them.

Happy Birthday Mom

I had such a wonderful birthday - I sent Sam to daycare and Stuart to work and had the house to myself with an agenda to do NOTHING! all you moms would appreciate how precious and wonderful that was. I stayed in my housecoat until noon and surfed the net and watched TV, then the power went out so I figured I better get up and get dressed. Once I got dressed and tidied up, I thought a nap was in order and then the boys came home and spoiled me with sushi, cupcakes & flowers!
