Happy Halloween!

the girl with the most cake

Last week I celebrated my birthday. I was absolutely delighted with this cake...

that my wonderful, thoughtful husband brought home.

He ordered it from the girl with the most cake, after seeing their cupcakes at the Carp Farmer's Market in the summer. It is even more gorgeous in person, and it tastes as good as it looks.

I had a little help blowing out all my birthday candles...

and a lot of help with the eating of the cake!

My wonderful, thoughtful husband had also prepared a fabulous meal and brought me roses...

Grandma & Grandpa came over with gifts and wine...

and watched me open presents from family. Thank you everyone for the thoughtful gifts and the birthday wishes!

one and one + two

This will make Grandma & Grandpa happy.

Rare photos.
All four of us together.

I am out from behind the camera.

{But unfortunately too dorky to remember to take it off from around my neck}

Monique captured these photos of us on Saturday, just as we were leaving Saunder's Farm and saying good-bye...

And I can't believe I am doing this. I really do not like to post photos of myself.

But I happen to have this not-so-lovely one from the weekend. Because this is what happens when I hand my camera to K, so I can take a phone call...

and Auntie M asked me to send her a picture of my new hair. So there it is.

See Auntie M?

It is darker. Straighter. Redder on the top, dark brown underneath.

And with bangs {except they are swept to the side here because they hang in my face and I am not used to them so they kind of drive me crazy}.

I also find a lot of photos like this...

on my camera after I pass it off to K. Now that is a photo I have no problem posting.

Revenge is sweet!

thanksgiving

When Auntie M was here for Thanksgiving, we took her to a Sens game.
And pumpkin picking {and then for a Pumpkin Spice Latte}...

We had Thanksgiving dinner at our place with Auntie M and Grandma & Grandpa .

I was thankful for kindergarten art...

Pre-school art too...

I was thankful for my husband. He BBQs a good turkey.

And for my little kitchen helper...

{She wanted to do dishes. But did not want to wear her tutu to do it...?}

Happy Thanksgiving!

auntie m is in the house

Visiting from Calgary.

Copying Miss S and her new do, it seems...

Playing endless rounds of Sequence {the kiddies new favorite game}...

Bringing me goodies from back home.

Like these pillows I have been wanting from Restoration Hardware {we don't have that store here, so I gave her a shopping list and some $ and she did some shopping for me back home}...

She also brought us pizza from here. Uh huh. She brought pizza on a airplane. Because I love it. And I miss it. And it is soooo yummy {they have a banana bread pizza - 2 pizza rounds with cream cheese icing sandwiched in the middle}.

That is one good Auntie.

new do

for Miss S...


It is very hard to get photos of the new do.
Because Miss S is not one to sit still.
So this is the best you are getting for now...



And yes.

That is my 3 year old playing the Wii.
{We love Mario Kart}
So what if I said my kids would never watch TV.
That was before I had them.
Get over it.
