Happy Hallowe'en!



This weekend we went to a Hallowe'en party at Aunt Jenni's. She loves this holiday and always prepares the best party. Our cousin Koal was really excited that we came to the party too.


Here are the three of us in costume. Koal's squirrel head was falling off and Chewy's rider was also falling off. (Do you remember this butterfly costume that Katie and Sparky's mom made for me? I love it!)


I found Koal's stash of toys, so fun. (I took off my costume to play, and was wearing my sweater from Aunt Punchy.)


Want to see some of the party food?

Here is the Hallowe'en candy area... with someone's gloves from their costume.


Check out this spread... Aunt Jenni makes the best stuff. Look at all the cupcakes and Hallowe'eny things!


Mummy meatloaves!


Mom made these stuffed peppers that look like jack-o-lanterns.


Ewwww... Jello brains!


We had a blast... Hallowe'en is so fun!


Pooped out the day after the party. Can you see both of us in there?


Did anyone else go to a Hallowe'en party? Do you have special plans tonight? We are going to watch some Hallowe'en movies and wait for trick-or-treaters. Hope we get some!

Something crazy

This morning some wild turkeys (about 20 of them!) were marching up our road, and they turned into our driveway... all walking in a line. I think they are going to my friend Yukon's house.



Have you ever seen weird creatures like that in your yard?

We have a hallowe'en party this weekend - back on Monday with a Hallowe'en post. Stay safe this weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!



Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend with your families. Our big family dinner is tonight. The rest of the weekend we spent playing outside in the unusually beautiful and warm weather and doing house things like FINALLY finishing the roof; running to the hardware store, the dump (I don't think we will ever be rid of the piles of shingles around the house), and the farmer's market; winterizing the gardens; baking and doing laundry! Oh we also found and took care of a hornet problem, and saw a small mouse in the house. Yikes! After attempting to catch him (Mom named him Dudley) a few times, he seems to have run into our crawlspace basement. Anyone have experience with mice and have some tips for us? I hope Dudley will be able to live.... but not in our house.
Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend:

Our front yard. Can you see the ghosts we hung in the trees?


Look at our big tree - almost all of its beautiful red leaves have fallen already!


Here I am after playing outside with my dad and my cuz toys.


Chewy on a walk in our back yard.


Me and Chew relaxing in the back porch after the hornets went away.

How did you spend your weekend? Is it still nice out where you live? Enjoy the rest of your weekend or/and the rest of the week everyone! xo
