Oct 27, 2011

And...here we go!

1. Beware of being too dependent on anyone but yourself.

2. I am looking forward to curling up by the fire with a cup of tea and watching it snow.

3. And since we bought pumpkins we really SHOULD carve them!!!

4. why do people think there are only evil spirits?

5. Where shall we go trick or treating this year?

6. potato and bacon soup is one of my favorite meals when it's cold out.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, taking Susannah and her friends to the Halloween dance and taking Abby and Sam to the haunted hike, tomorrow my plans include more fun Halloween activities and going to a Medieval/ King Arthur themed fancy dress Halloween party and Sunday, I want to take the children and their friends and meet my friend and her boys at the Prairie Gardens for the Pumpkin Festival!

Bricks4Kidz.....Session 2

Today Sam and Abby had their Lego class....they really loved todays class. Sam really enjoyed the first one, but Abigail wasn't so sure - this time though, she was partnering a new friend which helped - and they got on really well - the new friend turned out to be the Daughter of an OLD friend of mine :) It was really good to catch up with her :)

While they were in their class, I took the chance to relax in the coffee shop nearby over a London fog, some of their yummy toast and a piece of their chocolate loaf! Their food and tea is sooooooo good! It's Aroma cafe in Bonnie Doon mall - now, the mall itself is horrible, but that cafe is fabulous and worth going to the mall for on it's own!! YUM!!! I sat in there and art journaled for an hour :)

Then on the way back through Sears I found the perfect Halloween costume for the party I'm going to on Saturday night - at HALF PRICE!!! Yay!!!! :) And a costume for Susannah at half price too :) which turned out to be ideal - she took one look at it and I knew she thought I was crazy as it looked awful and childlike on the hanger - and was covered in lace! But I knew it was going to look super cute on her! And I was right as usual lol - she needs to remember her Mom is always right hahaha!! :)

Anyway, my two, and Abby's new friend were the last to leave the class and they helped tidy up the Lego for the teachers....the girls didn't want to finish - and the teachers were saying how pleased they were to see girls enjoying it so much because 90% of Lego users are boys and it should be encouraged in girls as much as possible!!!

It's such a great class :)

I definitely plan to sign them up for more in the new year :)
