301 of 365 - Food, Football and Friends

What a busy day today!

The kids all enjoyed their snack today -

Worms & Dirtcakes and Moldy Fingers!

Next was followed up by the semi-final

football game.

It was a little bit cold!

Bethlehem vs. Holy Cross.

Unfortunately the Stars lost but they should be 

proud of a very amazing season.

This was the best that the senior football team has done

since the school opened.

Congratulations on a great season boys!

And finally we got home,

Ashley got ready and,

as if planned,

her friends showed up!

She went out trick or treating for about an hour.

That, in a nutshell,

was our Halloween.

I hope you all had as much fun as we did!

300 of 365 - Carving....

It's getting hard to get Zach and Ashley 

home at the same time

and long enough to accomplish anything,

let alone carving pumpkins!

They got them done

so now we are ready for tomorrow.

Do you love the very detailed

pumpkin Zach carved?

You should have heard him laughing

when he made the decision!

Great work,

once again kids!

299 of 365 - Pumpkins - Check!

Our pumpkins are ready 

to be carved.

Zach and Ashley will get that done

 tomorrow night

because we ran out of time tonight!

298 of 365 - Button Shot

Team Turner played very well today.

The game ended in a tie

and this end in particular had us all

on the edge of our seats!

That yellow stone stayed right there

on the button for quite awhile.

It did eventually get taken out and the other team

did end up scoring 3 to tie it up.

The boys are playing in a qualifying spiel

next weekend.

They have a good shot at getting a great spot

at Northern's this year.

Good Luck boys!

297 of 365 - Thankful for.......

It's a little late but it was still very good.

We finally had a chance to have our 

Thanksgiving dinner tonight.

We had turkey, stuffing, potatoes,

fresh cranberries, gravy 

and of course....

Pumpkin Pie!!!

Before we ate we each had a chance to say

what we were most thankful for.

The one thing that came up most was

"our family".

Without family we don't have much.

(Unless you ask Zach, we have pumpkin pie

so we have it all!)

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

296 of 365 - 1/4 Finals and a Halloween Dance

Both kids were busy this evening.

Zachary had a football game,

1/4 finals.

The Stars won 35-25!

It was snowing quite a bit and

 it was a very good football game.

Semi Finals are on

Halloween!

Ashley had her Halloween dance

tonight as well.

She dressed up as 

"Boo" from Monsters Inc.

She was "Boo" when she was 2

since Monsters Inc was her

favorite movie.

She decided that she needed to revisit that

costume again this year.

Another great Friday night,

thanks kids!

295 of 365 - Halloween Candy

Candy is calling my name

so I played with it instead of 

ate it!

294 of 365 - Scraping Windows

Welcome to owning a car Zach!

He's thinking about a 

remote car starter.

Might not be a bad idea for Christmas.

293 of 365 - SNOW!!!!

Heavy snowfall warnings all day today.

Zach wanted to play football in the snow,

there you go son!

292 of 365 - Coordination.....

Jack, 

a little one that I babysit,

is starting to eat finger foods.

Mostly he grabs a whole hand full

but every few bites he tries to

pick up his food with his

thumb and forefinger.

291 of 365 - Game On

Today was Zach's first curling game of the season.

They won 6-2.

Great start Team Turner!

290 of 365 - Construction Site

They started demolition on the Victoria Bridge

yesterday.

One section of the bridge is gone

and I don't suspect that

it will take too long before the rest

is gone.

289 of 365 - Let The Sun Shine In

And face it with a grin,

open up your heart and

let the sun shine in!

The sun was poking through the trees

this afternoon,

beautiful!

288 of 365 - Mandarin Oranges!!

We are on our third box already!

287 of 365 - Editing, Editing and More Editing

I realize that these photos are not

from today but, to tell you the truth,

 I really didn't have time to think 

about a photo for today.

I have been editing the photos from my brother's

wedding and would really like to get them done so they

can stop waiting.

Here are some that I have done today...

I would also like to thank Julie Cortens

for trying to help me figure out 

some impossible corrections.

For the most part,

I am 99.5% happy with the photos I

took.

Now I just have to wait and see what David & Lindsay think!

286 of 365 - My Crew

Here they are,

my kids.

They are so sweet

and make me laugh regularly.

I am so happy that I decided to open my daycare again.

It's who I am and

what I do best.

285 of 365 - Apples, Apples, Apples

We bought a 20lb box of

apples from the market on Saturday.

They were a really good price.

Today I made apple butter.

I make it in my slow cooker and it takes about 14 hours

but it is so worth the wait!

I think I will go and get more apples 

next Saturday so I can get some pies in the

freezer too.

284 of 365 - Taken Over

Look very, very close.

There are 11 ladybugs on my rake!

I set it down to go and put some

leaves in the bag

and when I got back

the rake was covered in ladybugs!

283 of 365 - Fall Bounty

Steve and I actually had a few hours

by ourselves today!

We took advantage of the situation

and went to the Farmer's Market for breakfast.

It was a beautiful day

and we ended up coming home with some

pretty awesome stuff.

One of the vendor's had a 

"Gameday Special".

Beets, Carrots, Onions & Potatoes.

we got it and made stew!

20lbs of apples for apple butter and pie,

honey, fresh salsa

and a bag of

Seabuckthorn Tea Leaves

made it home with us as well.

It was a great date!

282 of 365 - Game Day

Only 3 or 4 games left

this year.

Unfortunately,

I cannot go to today's game

since it begins at 3:00.

Good luck today Zach!

281 of 365 - Little Miss Sassy

This is Londyn.

She is a very sweet little girl

with what can sometimes be a

rather large attitude.

She was wearing her pearls today.

Such a sweet girl!

280 of 365 - Hearts In The Snow

Today is 

mine and Steve's 

14th wedding anniversary.

Thank goodness it wasn't this cold 

on our wedding day.

279 of 365 - Classroom In A Book!

Thank Goodness!

There are a few photos that need a bit of editing

and I am very happy that I have this

handy, dandy book to

help me through!

278 of 365 - Uploading.......

1200+

photos take a little bit of

time to upload!

And now onto the editing!

277 of 365 - Goodnight!

Yes,

I know it is still from the same function

but

it is a new day!

1:30am -

David & Lindsay are heading up to their room.

Congratulations and Goodnight

Mr. and Mrs. Maynes!

276 of 365 - Mr. & Mrs. D. Maynes

What an 

AMAZING

day!!

My baby brother married a wonderful lady

and our family couldn't be

more happy for them both!

I had a great time taking their photos all day

and I am 100% exhausted!

I couldn't choose just 1 photo today

because I wanted to share a few

of my favourites with you.

275 of 365 - Wedding Rehearsal

I have been asked to be 

THE Photographer

for my brother's wedding.

Rehearsal was this evening and I took

that opportunity to 

practice.

274 of 365 - #40 - Our Very Own "Star"

Zach got to play tonight.

We really enjoyed watching him.

The Stars won

34 -14

against P.A.

Thanks for a great night of

football Zach!

273 of 365 - Good Sports

These boys are so awesome!

I have had them in my daycare for the past 9 years,

they are part of my family.

Today Adrianna was playing with the

vanity and she wanted to put

lipstick on the boys.

They both let her climb all over them

and apply the lipstick!

Thank goodness it's just pretend!

went zipping past our house this afternoon.
