Happy Halloween!!!

Soooo no pics for this post.

Just wanted to say Happy Halloween!!!


I went to get pumpkins for Josh and I the other night but both places I went to didn't have any more. So we are pumpkin-less this year. However, I did dress up.

There will be work pics posted later tonight in between our trick-or-treaters...


Until then

BOO!!!!

Pumpkins

So on Sunday was a pumpkin carving contest that Big Brothers Big Sisters put on. It started at 1 and Nic picked his pumpkin.

It only took us a half an hour to get it done and then had to proceed to wait until 2:30 for the judging to start and 3:15 for the results.

We took these just after it was done and then proceeded to head over to the park nearby. It was a colder day to stand outside in the shade of the pavilions carving pumpkins, however it was fun!

Josh and I are going to do our pumpkins probably on Thursday night so that they are still crisp for the trick-or-treaters (the 6 we got last year) to see.

Office

So we had a company meeting last Friday and this is what they opened with.



It was quite funny. The accounting team are the ones dancing and putting it together. I am quite glad that I am not yet in that department. Especially to do that in front of 100+ immediate co-workers, as well as putting it on youtube!

Lots of stuff

So it has been a while since I downloaded all my pics off my camera. So here goes...

This is Skeeter laying on the couch like she has never done before. I found it quite funny...
We hung out with our little brother Nic and taught him how to put together a tent. It lasted about 10 minutes and then he lost interest but it was a fun 10 minutes.


We owed the other softball team a couple BBQ's and this is what I brought to the first one. It was fun to make.
And really yummy to eat!!
We hung out with Nic again and thought that since he was a boy he would enjoy looking at the engine of something and smashing it to pieces... Needless to say we should have saved it for our neighbors oldest boy. He would have loved it.

But that's OK, it was fun none the less.
We had our first snow of the year earlier this month. It only lasted for the day, I don't think it even lasted the whole day.

That day I actually wore shoes to work. Now there is no snow and I am back to sandals!!
Our team made a double or nothing bet with the other softball team and we eventually owed them a 2nd BBQ. This is what I made for the 2nd BBQ.
I had a blast decorating it. I pictured what I wanted it to look like in my head and it turned out pretty close to it. I was pleased with the outcome!!
It is a delicious strawberry cake.

Teddy Bear Day

So last Wednesday was National Bring your Favorite Teddy Bear to work day. I was looking forward to taking my favorite one to work. Low-and-behold I forgot it at home. When I got to work I went on-line and searched teddy bears and found an image of one. I printed it out and taped it to my monitor so that I could still slightly participate in the day.

It doesn't look like my favorite teddy bear but it is semi close!

That is a picture of my puppy Skeeter on the monitor.

Some People

Some people that get elected into positions let the amount of power they have go to their head...

This was a popup on my Bonehead of the day award:

Next Week

Next Wednesday (October 8th) is National bring your Teddy Bear to work day.
I think all that read this should do it.. I am.

I will even take pictures for everyone to see everyones favorite Teddy Bear!! You should do the same!

Fall

You can always tell when its becoming more fall like.


Not only are the tree leaves changing colors but the air is getting more and more crisp in the mornings, the windows on cars are starting to need to be scraped in the mornings, you are wearing warmer clothes, and you can start seeing snow in the forcast.

It was a nice summer, not to hot and not to cool. I am not, however, ready for winter yet.

We already have some house projects aligned for the winter to keep us busy on the weekends. I will keep you all updated as we get closer to them...

Sunday

Boy was Sunday busy!!!

We started off the afternoon with our neighbor Ellie's 9th Birthday!!
She was totally all smiles!!

We then proceeded her birthday with spending a couple hours with our little. The first hour was spent catching ants for this...
We caught a total of 28 ants.
We took it back to our house and played some Candyland followed by Twister. We then decided to take a look at the ants to see if they started makeing their tunnels...Low and behold.. The two little tiny holes in the top of the lid to let extra air in the ant farm (found out later holes aren't needed) were letting the smart little suckers out. We now have about 19 ants roaming our living room. The last 9 in the ant farm still hadn't started to make the tunnels when we left the house this morning for work.

We will probably try to catch a couple more to get the ant number back up tonight. The holes are now covered as to not let any more out.

We finished the day off with another birthday party for our friends' now 5 year old daughter, Abbie.
She also was all smiles!

Heros

Tonight is the start of the new season of Heros. So exciting!! We have a friend coming over and will probably make it a weekly event until the season comes to an end.



We did it last season at a different friends house and this year its our turn...

If you are a fan of the show catch it at 7PM MDT time.
