Fall photos......





Finally we have had some nice days....which really just means NO RAIN! We have even seen some SUN!!!!!! (shocking! I really should'nt complain yet. The rainy season is just starting!! ;-) After B's soccer game on Saturday, I got some shots of the kids playing with the leaves. Such a treat for them to just grab some dry leaves and throw them in the air or really more fun it throwing thema at eachother!!!!

Halloween 2007 Whewww...it was busy!


But a great time had by all. The weather held out nice for us rainy Vancouverites! Little bit of drizzle for about 5 mins and that was it. We even managed to have a great neighbourhood display of fireworks too at the end of the night. All the kids were decked out in glowsticks, hot chocolate and sparklers too! B & K were so excited for Halloween this year. It seemed like the days leading up to the big event were filled with parties and other fun events!

K had a little party with Sparks and she was dressed at the Bratz Bat. Gotta have some glamour to the costume for my girl. The group (all 14 of them) decorated pumpkin cookies with yummy candies and sang songs and basically got exicted for the big night. B won 1st place in a contest at the daycare for the best original pumpkin drawing. The principal came in a selected first, second and third and he WON! He was so excited. His prize for winning 1st place was a mircoscope. So this weekend we are going to inspecting lots of things. I was quite the proud Mom!

For Halloween, we let Brayden and his best buddy Al do some trick or treating on their own together. Just on our block and they had to do a check in with us at the house. It wasn't that crazy busy so really we could still see them, but they don't need to know that do they? He was so thrilled to have some breathing room from the parents. K on the other hand was an animal. She did more house then the boys. They ended up taking a break and getting warm, but watching Transformers on our couch, mean while, K and Dad and still running from house to house. I was very proud of my girl. Lots of please's and thank you's. She was a Devil and every time I looked at her I started to giggle because she really did look like a little man. That mask was so funny. It is really just fabric but it looks so real. Here is a shot of her at her finest just before we headed out to Trick or Treat. At the end of the night, 2 bags of candy later, hot chocolate and fireworks watched she was begging to go to bed!
All in all, it was a good night and the kids had fun!
