November

So it's near the end of November and I haven't blogged in a while. Two reasons for this, one is we have been working on finishing renovating our kitchen and the second reason is I haven't taken many pictures this month. Having 3 weeks of rain didn't help things either.

Just so you have some updated pictures of the boys, here are a few from this month.

Our kitchen is pretty much finished, but not quite! We are still trying to settle on the paint colour and edging that still needs to be done. Here is what the kitchen makeover looks like so far...

The Christmas season is pretty much upon us now and the kids are getting excited for the big day. Next weekend we will be getting our tree and hopefully I will update the blog again after that.

Hallowe'en

As our boys have been talking about Hallowe'en for a while now, finally it arrived! We actually don't do too much for Hallowe'en but still they get excited. On Friday the kids dressed up for school. At Kyle's preschool they had their monthly party day where they sing some songs and tell us what they learned during the month. Here are the various characters that came to class that day.

Shelby carved the pumpkins as per the kids instructions and then I asked them to make a face similar to their pumpkin faces and this is what they came up with.

After a last minute costume change Aaron wanted to be the jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. Apparently you have to be serious to be a jedi!

The boys trick-or-treated for a little while and still collected more candy that we would let them eat, score the rest for the parents!:-)

Aidan, Michael and Keira went with Aaron and Kyle collecting candy for a bit and then they all watched The Jungle Book.

So Hallowe'en wasn't too crazy this year, but the kids enjoyed it and they are already talking about what they want to be next year!?
