Halloween

This year was a fun trick or treat night and the kids were of course very excited too. After carving their pumpkins (which we grew in our garden) we were ready for a night of non stop candy collection! I love how the twins and eventually Kate too think halloween is so great because most days when you ask for candy, you don't get it. But this night you walk up to almost any adult, ask for candy, and they give it to you! How completely exciting. I remember one year when William was little, put his costume on again a week after halloween and tried to go out asking for more candy, too young to understand this is a once a year gig.

Trouble with toddlers

Our favorite little toddler has become our resident wall artist...daily! It is such a treat to walk around my house and see her artistic creations all over my walls, chairs, couches, cupboards, doors...just about any old surface you can think of. All I have to say is thank goodness for steam cleaners and magic erasers!

Apples...apples...apples

We did the annual apple juicing day again this October. This year Nathan and Adam went to Creston B.C. and picked up about 8700 pounds of apples, then hauled them to Edmonton. We brought the kids for the first time, and they made themselves 'useful'.

Over all it was another great year with friends making the best liquid gold around.
