The weekend is in our sights, collecting the van from our trusted mechanic… not so much. I just cannot get over this weather – absolutely perfect for sending the boys out to run and run and run! Since we are stuck at home for the Thanksgiving weekend I am thinking we will have to take a walk down to park and enjoy this rather unseasonable sunshine!

My personal completion for the day is Echo’s infant tutu. It is tulle knotted on a plastic hairband. You put hot glue on the tips of the ends to hold it on and I wrapped masking tape over the portion with the pointy bits that grab your hair. Colours of choice – grey and purple. So this weekend, once we are houseguest -less I plan on taking some pictures of her in it, and maybe do some of myself (without a tutu of course).
Infant Tutu
Both of the twins FINALLY completed their Apple lapbooks. Today it was mostly loose worksheets and colouring. I am planning on taking the free wall in the hallway to the bathroom and posting their Halloween art there.
Gavin and the back cover
Trinity and Emanuel spent some time colouring. Pumpkins and pumpkin related decorating. I am planning on bringing up our Halloween tree (the mini Christmas tree that I put Perler bead Halloween decorations on) and the kids assembling their haunted treehouse with Ken.
Colouring
The boys and Ken (well mainly Ken), managed to make us a suitable leaf pile in the backyard. So the 3 girls in the family tried a few poses on for size. Gavin was a great helper standing behind Ken and telling Trinity to LOOK AT DADDY! He is definitely our little photographer. I hope he retains the interest!

Tomorrow Ken and I (and Echo) are leaving Chris (she) here solo with the other 4 kids for an hour or two to make a run out and see if I can find a nice shirt for the baptism, but otherwise Friday will be relatively calm – with no van it is up to Ken to run alone with Echo to Public Health to do a weigh in. We are waiting on the hospital to fax something to our paediatrician of choice before we can make our appointment for the girls. Fingers crossed that happens soon! Tonight, well tonight I plan on sitting around and watching Gintama – ON MY ITOUCH! I got an App (oh dear!) that lets me play Crunchyroll who has the episodes translated and I am over 70 episodes behind!!! Can you say TIME SINK???? YAY!
Just us girls
LOVE the picture of you three girls, and the one of Trinity alone, she’s getting so big!! I can’t believe the weather you’re having. Care to ship some up this way? I shouldn’t complain, it’s actually not that bad. I wasn’t too impressed with the 8″ of snow we got on Sept 24, but it IS the Yukon. Nothing is out of the ordinary up here LOL
Thanks Stephanie. She is growing like an absolute weed! I know, the weather is crazy nice right now BUT the boys would rather have snow! Figures. Someday I REALLY want to make it up to the Yukon!
When you finally make it up here, you already have a place to stay 🙂 Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, I’m heading home now yay! The couch had my name written all over it, can’t wait to do some stitching 🙂
lol thanks!!! ooo be sure to let me know what you are stitching. Enjoy the weekend.
