Yup, we combined many fun things this weekend. It was busy and lots of fun.
We started the weekend with some leaf fun. It is really nice that my parents get so many leaves at their house because we don’t have that many at our place. Plus my parents got free labour as the kids raked and raked…of course all of it was for nothing after they started jumping into their pile. Fun!
That evening was our family Thanksgiving dinner. Mmmm, turkey and all the fixings meant full tummies. The next day we took the kids to the Marsh so that they could work off the previous evening’s dinner as well as work up an appetite for more food. You see, October is a double birthday month for our family with Elspeth turning 4 and my sister in law 40. We finished the weekend with dinner with Glenn’s brother and sister in law where there was more cake and a brand new calico house which is being used with the new sweetie cart, train and rowboat also received over the past few days.
Here is how the sugar shack looks without all of the snow.
More leaf time and some net fishing with her uncle. All any of the kids caught was weeds.
Pre-dinner gifts.
My mom had made up some adorable cupcakes. Coupled with the 4 candle we had one delighted kidlet on our hands.
Okay, random cuteness to end it all.
Elspeth made a Thankful tree at After School Care. Apparently she is thankful for us and candy. (Hence the sweetie cart for her calicos)
Plus, Katrine landed her double toe which meant a trip out for frozen yogurt.
