~Winter Already??~

What a difference 20 days makes!! Looks like my favorite season has come and gone quick as a wink once again. So we went to bed last night with the snow starting and woke up to a winter wonderland. Hate driving in it(doesn't everyone?) but its beautiful to look at. The kids are in Heaven of course, I don't think much compares to playing in the snow when your a kid ;)

~Do ya think she looks happy?~

So of course like all Canadians, the snow came as a big SHOCK(lol) and we were unprepared for clearing the snow in our extra long driveway. We went on a snow thrower 'hunt' this afternoon and of course everyone had the same idea and bought them all before us...uhhg ...I hate when that happens. I called my Canadian Tire connection...aka...Mommy :) and she hooked us up big time, so our new snow thrower is coming tomorrow...bring on the white stuff!!

~Home Early Today~

Joshua's Daycare was closed today so I got to come home early to pick him up. On the down side we spent an hour in the Drs office this afternoon since he is still not feeling 100%(remember he wasnt able to go out for Halloween cause he was sick...) So we saw the Dr and low and behold he seemed to have an Ear...throat...and sinus infection...poor little thing. I have to tell you though, please dont think I am a horrible Mother, he was NOT complaining. The Dr actually said his throat and ear were healing up on their own but the sinus'(which was actually my concern at this point) needed some helping along. So we are home now, with antibiotics and nose spray in hand.

Worked out well that I got to come home early today, everyone in the house had been sick but me and I started feeling not so great yesterday, figured it was only a matter of time before it hit me.

~Joshua Sillies~

Joshua as always has us in stitches but I had to share some of his recent sillies. Last night while I was at my Bible Study Robert put Joshua to bed and prayed with him, Robert prayed first and then asked Joshua if he wanted to pray too and he said, " Dear Lord, please help me to have a good sleep and that I feel better tomorrow and that my nose will stop running and that I don't cough when I race....(pause) if there is a race tomorrow...."

The other day I called him a 'Turkey' and he told me that he wasn't a Turkey and I said, well your my turkey and he came back with "Awe Shucks" I about fell down laughing I thought that was so cute!

~L~E~A~V~E~S~

Everyone is coming down of their 'sugar rush' and its a perfectly beautiful Autumn Day so we had some Fall Fun!! There are still a TON of leaves to fall off the trees around our yard but we made quick work of it tackling what has already fallen so far.

Joshua is still not 100% but you can see that it doesn't effect his mood much :)

After we came in from the raking and jumping we roasted our Pumpkin seeds...yummy!!!
