jack-o-lanterns

some of our pumpkins... from l-r, mikehiela's ghost, gord's bat, ron's grim reaper and cole's bat (i thought winnie the pooh!! it's cute!) and then i had to massacre the little pumpkins from the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago and make some luminaries... just love them!

pumpkin carving

spent the day at my church with my friend renee for 'super saturday'... it's great, a bunch of women getting together to have fun and make crafts... we made a set of wooden letters (*smile*) to spell 'Christ' and a wooden Jesus, mary, joseph and a lamb. had lots of fun, i look forward to these every year.

after, our friends ron & rhonda and their kids came over for dinner to carve some pumpkins. had lots of fun, everyone got in on it, including our two year olds. it was the first time we've ever gotten together with anyone to do this, usually it's just a family affair. it's fun!!

have a great weekend and a safe hallowe'en! God bless!

happy birthday to my dad

love ya, pop! i know you read (but NEVER post!!) so i thought i'd announce it to the world right here... actually, this is a favour to your other daughter jenni who always forgets your birthday and i have to remind her, so this is easier than actually phoning her;)

i love you dad. hope it was a fun one!

prairie gardens

it's canadian thanksgiving here this weekend, and we had a wonderful time. gord and i had our anniversary this weekend, but we won't be celebrating it until next weekend... i can't wait, i'm so looking forward to some time with my husband. life's been busy and our wonderful intentions of having friday night date night every week have suffered!

we went out for dinner with some friends on saturday night, then went over to mom & dad's for thanksgiving dinner after church on sunday, and today we went to the haunted pumpkin festival which is something we do every year... we look forward to it every year. we went with renee' and her family, then all met up back here with elizabeth and her family as well for dinner. lots of fun, and love having dinner with friends. don't do that enought, either!

have a wonderful week!

goofy kids

all i wanted was one picture for my wall upstairs. i didn't get one where they are both smiling (or at least looking at the camera and not making a goofy face). oh well, still some cuties nonetheless;)
