Special weekend

Elliott and I had a very fun few days- glen was away for work and Elliott and I had all sort of adventures.  I didn't catch it all on pictures, but we went for Sushi together, and had his buddy over for dinner.  We've also been to 2 hockey games this past week- which he loves. 

 Here Elliott is at is first movie in the theater.  It was in 3-D, which isn't awesome for little people, and he ended up watching the most of it without glasses.  But he loved it, and didn't move for an hour and a half!  And ate the whole bag of popcorn of course.

 I learned that Elliott loves to rake leaves!  And he is good at it too!  There will be millions more for us to do in our yard next month.

Elliott and I went for an evening bike ride and collected all the beautiful leaves that are falling.  He likes to keep one in his helmet- he copies "Mike the Knight."

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a really fun, happy Thanksgiving.  Though it wasn't traditional in any ways, it was filled with friends and happiness (and really good food!)

 My girlfriend got married- it was the first wedding for the 3 of us to attend.  There were about 30 kids there all in all, so the dance floor rocked.  Elli had a good wipe out earlier that day and was a little sore, but he managed to have fun.  He has a special fondness for the flower girl!

 The following day we went up to Sun Peaks for an amazing brunch, and hike on a beautiful fall day.  We love Sun Peaks in the off season and it is only 45 min from our house.

On actual Thanksgiving we had a little party at our neighbours house.  The best part (besides not making thanksgiving and being with great people) was when B invited everyone downstairs so that we could watch the kids play rockband.  He is for sure going to be a rockstar- knew a few cords, could sing all the lyrics and has awesome rock moves.

 Elliott wanted me to use washable felts to make him a zebra.  I am SO not artistic, but he thought it was great.

 Family board game nights!  Pretty fun!  Although the games are slightly mind numbing...

Last week

Sorry no blogging!  Work got crazy busy, and I got super tired of course, and though did lots, I skipped out on the computer.  Here's a brief synopsis of our week.

 Couldn't resist- the boys peeing in the backyard QUICKLY so not to miss a second of fun.

 A sweet neighbor girl comes over on Friday afternoons to play and help.  She had a great idea to dig up all the carrots.  The kids loved that- and then proceeded to eat a bunch of them!

Glen took Elli and his friend on a hike, and then ran into other hikers at a waterfall.  How awesome is that?  The boys are wayyyyyy different together than if there was a mom around.
