Halloween weekend Recap

Halloween, in its typical fashion was cold, damp and gloomy. The night before halloween, we carved our pumpkins. This year was the first we just threw out the seeds. We always clean and bake them and no one even eats them, so I saved myself the heartache this year.


I worked from home the day of Halloween, and it was great! I had time to get the cups and plates and stuff set out and tidy up a bit. It was a wet halloween, but we just put rain gear and warm clothes under the kids costumes, and they had a great time collecting candy. I walked with them to a few houses and then went home to order pizza and have a glass of wine, and hand out candy to the EIGHT kids we got lol. The kids loaded into the back of my SUV with an adult and they drove from house to house, hopping out at each driveway. It seemed to work well.





November 1 (Friday) was picture retake day for Garett (he was sick on picture day), and also preschool picture day- I can't wait to see their photos :)

The power was on and off all day, and Ty and I were supposed to go downtown for dinner as two men I work with were saying goodbye to go back to their home stations. But between the power being off, and the week feeling so long, we decided to bail and stayed home, picked up a ton of sushi and watched a movie with the kids.

Saturday, Tyler's store started hosting their Pokémon lessons for kids. So he took Garett in to build his deck, and learn the ins and outs. It's every Saturday for two hours, so I think that's their new thing lol. Saturday night, Tyler had a gig with the disco band, so I stayed in with the kids and ordered in some food, and cuddled.

Sunday was a lazy day. We didn't get up to much, but Garett started his drum lessons, which he was very excited about. 

This week they are raising money for charity at school/preschool, so it's a bunch of theme days. Yesterday was crazy hair day, so G had a mohawk that we sprayed black and green, today was school spirit day (they had to wear their Squires shirt, which I FINALLY found last night), tomorrow is PJ day, then its sports jersey day and Friday is hat day. We send a couple of dollars each day, which he loves to hand in lol.

Tomorrow, we are having our neighbours for dinner, so I have to place a grocery order today. And Thursday I work from home (I am on a once a week schedule, which is great!) and I get to catch up on laundry before the cleaner on Friday :)

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
