Happy Birthday!

To my Handsome Husband, hope your wishes all come true this year!

 

Leaves!

Getting ready for fall!

 

Cute faces.

 

Lots of fun! 

 

Grownups!

What a great time we had on our getaway!  The kids had a wonderful time with their grandparents and we felt like we were grownups.

 

We went out for a fabulous supper.  It took all evening and we completely and totally over indulged.  Fun! 

We tried to take our picture with the self timer but we kept cutting  off Ed’s head.  Oh well, you get the idea, all dressed up and we actually had someplace to go.

Look at our dessert!

Ed arranged everything with the head chef at the Rustica steak house at the Silvertip Golf course in Canmore.  Wow! It was an incredible meal and we had wine pairings with each course.  I even tried steak tartar, you know it wasn’t that bad but I just couldn’t get past the fact that it was raw.  Now Ed really wants me to learn how to make Creme Brulee.

The Girls

 

 

The girls had a play date last week, they got to put on these fancy nails.  Lots of fun and they looked so grown up, but they soon realized that they are not so much fun to play with them on.  Maybe 10 minutes they had them on, oh well, they had to try! 

Is it just me or are they starting to look 16ish?

10 years!

We made it 10 years of wedded bliss!  In our wedding vows we promised to love each other today, tomorrow and forever.  And since that day we have signed all of our cards whether it is birthday or anniversary to each other“Today, Tomorrow and Forever”.  And today more than ever I want to say “Today, Tomorrow and Forever I choose you!”

We are off to Canmore for a couple of nights just the two of us.  We are really looking forward to it!  Mom and Dad are going to look after the kids for us, please say a little prayer for all of us that everything goes well.  As much as I am looking forward to going away with my husband I am still feeling some anxiety about leaving the kids. 

I am a catastrophiser, what not really a word, well let me give you a definition.  It is a person that takes an ordinary situation and imagines it in to the worst possible event.  An example, Ed is late getting home, well in my mind he has been in some terrible accident and I am a widow and I have to raise my children alone and right about that time he walks in the door complaining about traffic.  So you can just imagine what I am doing with being away from the kids for a couple of days.  I just need to breath!

Wish us luck!

Trick or Treat

Well this was our most successful year yet.  The kids are that much older and they can go further.  And they are young enough to still be cute so I think they get extra candy just for the cuteness.

 

As we have for the past three years we went trick or treating with our friends.  They ran for the first 45 minutes we were out, they had so much fun.  I am not sure how many times Adam said, “ I love Halloween!” 

Somewhere a long the way Isla lost her bunny ears.  I think that we may have to go for a drive and see if we can find them!

As I was tucking Adam in to bed last night he said to me. “Now I can’t wait until Christmas!”  Whew, I hope it doesn’t come too quick!

Pumpkins

So much fun to decorate pumpkins! And be silly!

 

The kids actually dug some of the pumpkin innards out this year.  It was too gross before!

Somehow he got pumpkin on his nose?!?

Finished pumpkins.  Do you like Isla’s butterfly?

 

 

Adam’s is goofy!

Mine is scared.

Isn’t she pretty?!?

AHHHHHHHHH!
