Happy Halloween Part 2

For the last 3 years,  we've taken the boys to my dads house to do trick or treating around the block.  We go for dinner and then go out around 6.

I always take the stroller with me just incase Alex gets tired but he wanted to walk.  He did awesome and actually walked the whole time...we were gone for about an hour. 

Ryan and Alex did awesome and were so excited with there stash of candies, I let them have 1 or 2 each and they were pretty happy about that! :D

The Stash!

Happy Halloween - Preschool

Today we had a Halloween Party at preschool where we brought all kinds of treats and the kids dressed up in there costumes.

Of course my treats were cupcakes :D

How cute are those little mummy cupcakes!  And of course by the end of the party there were non left, just how I like it...I don't want to have to take any home!

I dressed my boys up in there costumes before we left for preschool, they were super adorable.  Ryan was Thomas, he wouldn't be anything else!  I still get to choose what Alex is so he ws a little green Monster...omg soooo cute!!!

The boys had a great time doing crafts, singing and story time...oh and snack time!!

and I just adore this costume, I think i'm gonna save it forever lol!

Happy Birthday To Me

Yep, another year has past...it sucks.  I'm getting older but not quit looking my age, actually younger which is good, wish my body felt as young as the rest of me does. ;)

I had a good day with family.  Thanks to everyone for the birthday gifts and wishes :) <3

Pumkin Patch!

Today we took the boys to the pumpkin patch.  It was the perfect day to go, so sunny and warm!

As soon as we went in Alex was picking up pumpkins from left to right, he wanted them all!  It was pretty cute.

The first and only 2 pumpkins that Alex picked out were perfect, nice and round and no weird marks on them.  I adored the pumpkins he choose :)

The boys loved running around and check out different things at the pumpkin patch.

Very cool pirate ship, wish I had a back yard for this!

We had a blast going through the corn maze, running every way and getting stuck at dead ends...the boys loved it!

After the corn maze we finally headed to the pumpkins....where boys got stuck in mud!

We finally made it to the patch! There is Kevin, Ryan, Alex and my Dad!

Of course Alex went straight to picking out pumpkins!  I love this next pic, he found a great pumpkin, probably more than i thought he could handle but he actually picked it up, but before I could snap the pic he dropped it.  He tried so hard to pick it up again and was getting mad at it.  In this picture it looks like he's using his super powers to try and pick it up again! :)

We got a  good stash of pumpkins, i'm pretty happy with what my boys chose :)

 

After picking out some good pumpkins we headed to the barn where all the animals were.  The boys had a great time checking them all out.  Alex was loving it and climbing the fences to get a better look!

Once we were all done in the barn it was time to head out. 

 We had a great day! We left with 8 pumpkins and only spent 20 bucks!....thanks dad for paying out way in ;)

 

Potato Soup!

I've been on the search for some new recipies.  I like crock pot recipies, they are fast and easy, especially if you prepair some stuff the night before.  Today I decided to make potato soup....with bacon!   It smelt so good in the house all day, I couldn't wait for dinner!  Once Kevin came home I couldn't wait to dig in!

YUM!

and of course lots of left overs! :D

And it wouldn't be a proper blog post if I didn't add at least one of my little munchkins in it.  While Alex was napping Ryan asked me to build a train tack for him.  I try to make them big and twirly but his daddy makes them the best.  I didn't do too bad, by the look on his face he was pretty happy :)



Tuesays are Busy!

Tuesdays are busy for me again...not like they weren't already with my own 2 boys but i'm again watching my friends son and his new (well not so new anymore) brother.  I used to watch Harper before our older boys were born.  So i've gone from 2 kids to 4 kids on tuesdays :)  Ryan and Harper are 2 months apart and Alex and Quentin are 10 days apart.  So my day is filled with  a lot of crazy sillyness!

Here's a pic from lunch time.  It's weird getting kids 4 plates ready for lunch and they like all different things so it takes a bit longer to get it ready.  They are all so cute sitting at the big table eating together :)

Lonsdale Quay

Today I decided to take the boys somewhere different.  I decided to take them for a ride on the sea bus.  They'd never been on it before and I thought it was something they'd enjoy.

Just before going on the sea bus we have to go over and over pass.  Ryan was looking out the window and saw all the train tracks and asked me to take a picture for him.  This kid sure loves his trains!

As we arrived to the sea bus it was just loading but Ryan had to use the washroom so we missed that one....that was ok with me because I like to be in the front of the line and get the window seat at the front for the boys.  They were so excited when it was finally out turn....Ryan kept asking a ton of  questions about the sea bus and how does it drive on water lol!

I miss this scenery, I used to work in one of those buildings....good fun times :)

We arrived at the Quay and walked around outside for a bit.  Ryan loved looking out into the water.

The boys liked the fountain area, they would have jumped in if i let them...for now it was just another picture shot :p

After hanging around ouside we went inside the Quay.

We walked around and checked out some shops.  We arrived to one corner of the Quay and one one side i noticed a little play area for kids....then i turned around and there was another, but an actual play area...like a house with a slide and a ball pit. The boys loved it!

Let's just say they didn't want to leave.

After spending a few hours there it was time to go home...back on the sea bus again...again the boys were excited.

We had  a good long day doing something different.  I will definatley bring the boys again!
