October activities...

Making jars and jars of salsa, late into the night....

Watching pots...


Making his own wrapping paper for a birthday gift. We ended up with 3 blue and red Optimus Primes, one red and green, and one all yellow. Added glitter to the belly grills and chest windows & was a much admired present at the birthday party.

Yes...expressing an interest in potty training. Have had several evening tinkles before bath time, but we're not pushing it on her at this point.

Chance has a loose tooth! Could this smile be changing soon???

Visit with Gramma & Grampa

Had a good visit with Grampa & Gramma from Regina, thanks for coming guys! Had beautiful weather and had a good time hauling in some produce from garden: potatoes, carrots & tomatoes. Also we decimated our sunflower field, which made a huge difference in the appearance of the back yard. I hung up some of the heads for the birdies ("burts") to enjoy.

Had a good walk around part of the Glenmore Reservoir, nice fall colours starting to show.

In other news...Chance's first tooth is loose...could have a crash course in tooth loss coming up soon!

First Day of Kindergarten!

Happy kiddo -- he was very excited to start school. He will walk from his daycare to school (a few kids there will be in his class), but I thought the orange schoolbus made a nice background!
Marching them in...one little girl got a bit tearful...

Bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to go in the morning. His shoes were ON, his jacket was ZIPPED, and his backpack was READY.

New Things...

New handmade blanket and pillowcase made by Mom!

Newest hairstyle....french braid pigtails!

Sportball Soccer

Go Chance, go!

Stretching!!

Learning some footwork...

Listening to Coach.

Happy Son!

Mishmash

Chance and his huge sunflowers. They're even taller now, and some golf-ball sized heads on them but no blooms yet.

Peas on the menu, every few days in our house! Yum!

New apple tree!







Karin loves the sandbox. She got pink eye this week.
