Cookie Day!

Today is Cookie Day for Girl Guides of Canada here in Port aux Basques. We arrived at the school at 10:00 am this morning, picked up our box of Cookies and headed out. A little rain but that didn't stop us. We sold our 12 boxes after knocking on about 25 doors or so. But it was fun! It brought me right back to the days of selling cookies as a child in Brownies and Girl Guides. Ocieanna was the perfect little spark! Dressed up in her fall pink jacket with her spark scarf. She knocked on each door but then quickly stood up next to me and waited for me to do the talking. But that was ok...what more would you really expect from a 5 year old. I did manage to get her to sell cookies at the houses that we knew. She loved doing that! She even got 2 tips! Here's a few shots of my beautiful girl out today!

Boo!

Wow! Has it been a year since last halloween! Isn't it hard to believe how fast this year went. Halloween came upon us so fast we hardly had time to prepare! But we did it! And all in good time. Cecil and I went to the annual Port Club party saturday night and today sunday the kids got to go to the annual Marine Atlantic Kids party. We all had a great time!

The party at the Port Club last night was a blast. Cecil spent the entire night chasing me around...why you ask? This is why! I was the Little Red Riding Hood and he was the Big Bad Wolf. Both costumes were hand made by myself and Cecil. We didn't win but we did get an honorable mention at the Port Club and were given two free t-shirts! It was all in good fun!





















And then there couldn't be a party for Mommy and Daddy without a party for the three greatest kids! It was the annual company kids party which included an hour and a half of bowling and then followed by a pizza party with treats and free t-shirts! They had a wonderful time!

Here's their costumes!
Jadian Batman, Ocieanna the Fairy Mermaid and Kadyn Little Batman.








We'll be carving the pumpkin today and just waiting now until tuesday when we can all go out trick or treating! We can't wait!!!

School Photos

Oh I'm so anal about school photos. I've always had such bad experiences with both my and Jadian's school photos in the past. So I now follow my kids to school and stand up next to the photographer and watch until I see the photo on the screen and let them know that it's ok or a no go. But this year as soon as I seen the photos on the screen of the photographers laptop I said "omg they're beautiful". And then today...what a surprise, I received them in their bookbags. As beautiful or more than what I seen on his screen. They were just perfect. I wish my brother were here so I could call him up and tell him how wonderful they were and that they were in the mail on the way to him. But i'm sure that he sees them and is so proud to be their uncle.

Here are my georgeous babes!

Jadian Grade 2 Age 7

Ocieanna Grade Kindergarten Age 5

Today we also registered Jadian for Hockey. This will be his first year. He's so excited. It's 3 days a week...eek. How do parents do this? We also got an email from Ocieanna's skating and she starts the same time as Jadian and registers next week. Jadian will have skating on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday and Ocieanna will have skating on Monday/Wednesday. Yikes! It's a going to be a big adjustment for us all but they are just so excited to be getting back to the stadium. Last year Kadyn wasn't mobile...we'll see how it turns out. Hopefully he'll stay put for us...haha...yeah right!
