The Great Pumpkin

Day 4 was marked by the official pumpkin carving ceremony.  

Roxanna was quite impressed with the process and the end result.

And seems even Simon couldn’t believe his eyes.

The festivities continue with Hallowii

This afternoon started with a trip to the pumpkin patch. Important lessons learned…

when going to the pumpkin patch remember to:

  • dress for mud, and
  • put the memory card back in your camera before leaving the house.

And after the pumpkin patch wii had much fun and chocolate at Jackson’s house.

Pee Wee Monster Bash

Day 2 of Halloweek was marked by attending the Pee Wee Monster Bash at the local community center. This was an exclusive event and the party of the season, as evident by the sold out attendance. Kids paraded around in costumes while participating in many toddler friendly activities. Lots of cookies, prizes, games and music. Without a doubt, the best party ever!

Celebrating Halloweek

It’s that time of year again, where people dress up in silly costumes all for some free candy and we love it! We love it so much that we celebrate the 7 days of Halloweek, the festival of candy. Halloweek is celebrated by a series of rituals that are performed every day throughout the 7-day holiday. Some are family-based and others are communal, with the grand finale – Halloween - traditionally observed on October 31st. The primary ritual is to dress in costume and eat mini-chocolates every day for seven days. The number of candies and chocolates tends to increase each day.

Today marks Day 1 of Halloweek, where festivities officially began celebrating with friends at our Toddler Group.

Look who’s talking

For our most recent update, here’s a short video clip you might enjoy.

Forecast: feeling under the weather

Our most recent trip to Burlington didn’t go quite as planned. Roxanna ended up with a cold, double ear infection, croup and teething x4 molars, but despite all this she was still able to put a smile on for friends, family and of course, the camera.  Seems she’s learned at a young age that you can always try to hide the tell tale signs of a bad nights sleep behind a pair of large sunglasses…
