Yes! Before the month is half over!

FINALLY!! I have time to make another post. Things have been crazy this month and don't seem to stop for a VERY long time! I'm ok with that.

This past week we had a busy time! I had the little boy I babysit Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Arnold and I had doctors appointments on Wednesday morning. Quinton had his very first class trip on Friday, which Arnold went too. Thursday I also had the girls across the road as well as it was Arnolds Birthday! Wow what a busy day!

This week is a bit slower. Today I"m getting the house cleaned up and new decorations put up! I'm excited for Christmas. It is my favourite holiday for sure! I love the smiles people have, the smells in the air, the lights at night and just everything!! I'm excited.

Today I have already put away the Halloween decorations (minus one napkin that needed to be washed!), and I've got the lights up on the stairs and one set plugged in, the jingle wreath up and the new scents in the house, as well as music going :) I love Christmas!

Next is to find a few more decorations to start putting up. I"m a bit behind on that since they are kinda "all over" in our house. Hopefully I can get everything out of the way and Arnold can help me bring them up. I'm excited for our house to be Christmassy !!

October Photo Catch Up - Fall Leaves!

If you have ever noticed at our house we have no trees that have leaves. We have trees, and overgrown weeds, but no trees with leaves. This is very sad for me and for the boys. I love trees that change colours, and I love seeing them grow and it's just beautiful.

Anyway since we don't have any leaves we have to rake other peoples yards to get a pile! Our neighbours are so sweet to "let" us do that. We rake their yards every year so far and get leaves for the kids to jump in. This year we did it and here's the result:

October Photo Catch Up - Christmas Baking

I'm letting you in on something.... I'm done my Christmas baking! Don't tell anyone :)

My mom was so great and came over a few weekends ago and helped me bake. It was perfect! WE got it all done and were a great line up of baking. I did the mixing, she did the prepping and then into the oven it went. It was wonderful.

Here's a few pictures from then:

October Photo Catch Up - Birthday Flowers

For my birthday I was sick in bed. I had been up most of the night sick and just... eww. So I stayed home from church. My little men were so super sweet and brought me home som beautiful flowers! Heres some untouched images:

October Photo Catch Up - Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Our Thanksgiving weekend was spent at my parents house. We had alot of fun. Jack and I did all the cooking and very much so enjoyed not having to do the dishes afterwards!

Even better was the pumpkins! We went to Korny Korners for our pumpkins. Here's some photos from our trip:
