222 of 365 - Trick Or Treat!

Ashley did well again this year.

Her and a friend went out by themselves

for awhile and then

Steve went with them once it got dark.

This was the first year that

Zach didn't get to go out.

I think it was a little hard on him

but in the end I believe he

had a pretty good night!

221 of 365 - Pumpkin Carving

After a very long carving process,

Zach & Ashley completed

this years pumpkins.

As you can see,

traditional pumpkins just

aren't an option!

Zach was laughing so hard

while he was carving the

Koolaid man and

Ashley was just plain proud 

of her  Ballerina.

Great work kids!

220 of 365 - Treat Bags

I made all of my kids 

Halloween 

treat bags.

I used my Cricut to

cut the cute little

pumpkin tags.

The kids were all pretty excited

by the time they went

home today!

Only 2 more sleeps!

219 of 365 - Mamma Mia

Ashley and I went to see

Mamma Mia

tonight!

AMAZING!!!

What an awesome show!

218 of 365 - Dinner in a Pumpkin

I tried a new recipe...

dinner in a pumpkin!

You cook all of the inside "stew",

put it in a pumpkin and bake it for an hour and a half. 

It was really good and now we

are trying to figure out

how to make more before the 

pumpkins are all gone.

Great for a snow day!

217 of 365 - Heavy Snowfall Warning

It has snowed all day

today! Apparently we could

get up to 20cm tonight.

As you can see, 

we haven't gotten our stuff

put away for the winter.

It's supposed to be

+10 on Saturday

so I guess I know what

we'll be doing!

216 of 365 - I Thought You Should Know........

Only 2 more months until 

Christmas Day!

You're welcome!

215 of 365 - Ghosts

With Halloween only a few

days away, the ghosts

have made their way

out of the box and into my 

living room!

214 of 365 - Unwind

After a great day with my family,

a glass of wine and a 

little reflection was

the perfect way

to unwind

before dinner.

213 of 365 - Date Night

Steve and I went out

for our Anniversary date

tonight.

It was great!

We went for dinner

and then went to a movie.

212 of 365 - Thank-you Julie!

We are forever grateful

to Julie for taking amazing

family photos for

us last weekend.

They turned out awesome

and we can't wait 

to find another reason to

get her to take more photos

for us!

Thank-you again Julie!

211 of 365 - Jack - o - Lantern(s)

How many are there really?

Only 3 but it sure

looks cool!

210 of 365 - Makin' Cupcakes

Ashley's class is having a

bake sale to raise

money for a field trip

to Blue Mountain.

She really wants to go since

they have activities like

zip-lining!

I'm sure these cupcakes will

go fast!

Nice work Ashley!

209 of 365 - Starbucks VIA

This one's for you Tina!

The VIA instant coffee

packets now come in 

flavors!!

I thoroughly enjoyed

my Mocha this afternoon!

They come in

vanilla, carmel, cinnamon spice

and mocha!

So good!!

208 of 365 - Under 17

Zachary had his first curling

game in the Under 17 

league today.

Unfortunately I forgot to 

take my camera

and had to use my phone

for this photo!

207 of 365 - Charity Bowl

I finally got to see a whole

football game today

and it happened to be the

last football game for the season.

It was very exciting as 

Zach's team, 

Bethlehem Stars, beat

 Walter Murray

14 - 7!

As you can see,

Zach had quite the cheering section.

Thanks for an awesome

game Zach!

206 of 365 - Rags

Ashley wanted rag rollers

in her hair tonight

so that she has some

super bouncy

curls for tomorrow!

205 of 365 - Picture Day

It was picture day for

Ashley today.

She spent quite a while

in the bathroom this

morning,

making sure she looked

beautiful.

Great job Ashley,

you are always

beautiful

to me!

204 of 365 - Brotherly Love?

I guess we should be thankful

that Zach still

shows his sister a little

bit of affection!

203 of 365 - Moonlighting

 I was letting the dog

out and the moon looked

awesome behind the

trees.

Perfect for tonight's photo.

202 of 365 - Happy Thanksgiving

I am so thankful for the family

that surrounds me 

and for each day that

is given to me!

Happy Thanksgiving!

201 of 365 - Happy Anniversary

Steve and I celebrated

12 years of marriage today.

We've been together

for 17 years

and it really hasn't felt like that

much time has gone by.

Happy Anniversary Steve!

I love you!

200 of 365 - Turkey Dinner!

We had so much fun in the kitchen

today!

I love cooking with my mom,

we make such a mess but 

everything is amazing 

when we're done.

There were 14 people 

having turkey with us this evening and 

Ashley got to say grace.

We have so much to

be thankful for!

199 of 365 - Mmmmmmmm! Cookies!

Mmmmmm!

I just finished baking some

crazy number of

oatmeal raisin cookies.

The house smells so

good!

Have a great 

Thanksgiving long weekend!

198 of 365 - Spider

This spider hangs in my

kitchen window. 

I received it as a Christmas

gift last year and

thought it was too pretty

to put away!

It is actually a 

Christmas Spider

and sparkles in the sun.

197 of 365 - Baby Blue Eyes

She was so sad at 

lunch today!

She's always got an intense

look about her

and those blue eyes

are amazing!

196 of 365 - Spooky Shadows

With Halloween only a few

weeks away, it was time

to get out some of the

decorations!

195 of 365 - Hurry Hard!

Zachary had his first practice

today with the 

high school curling team.

Between H.S. and league

curling, Zach will be

curling 6 days a week this year!

All of this begins right after

football ends in 2 weeks.

194 of 365 - Warm Fall Sun

Keelah found the one spot in the

room that had sunshine this morning.

Doesn't she look

comfy?

193 of 365 - Trailer Repairs

We had to take this arm out of the

trailer to be repaired.

Thankfully Steve knows

a welder who is going to try to

fix it for us!

192 of 365 - Egg Nog?!?

What the heck?

It's not even Halloween yet!

Ashley was sooooo

excited when we

brought this home for her tonight!
