Halloween

What a fun night. The kids had a blast and we did too of course.

Ashley and Braden shared a pumpkin to clean out and carve, while Amber and Andrew tried helping us.





Amber patiently waiting for the next step.







Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the finished pumpkins. Ashley drew a witch free hand and then her and Braden took turns carving it. They did a really good job.

Braden went to school as Spiderman but we couldn't find his mask so I ended up doinga few images on his cheeks. Ashley didn't go to school that day (she missed 8 days in all) and we are still waiting for the test results to see if it was chicken pox or something else.





We still took Ashley out trick or treating, we just kept her away from the other kids.

Ashley was spidergirl, Braden was a bear, Amber was a princess and Andrew was a pumpkin.

How the time flies by

OK where do I begin. Since the last post lots have happened with our busy family.

Ashley and Braden have een busy with school, Brownies and Beavers. Ashley had the enrollment night at Brownies where the new girls officially became Brownies while Ashley and two other girls advanced to second year Brownies and became circle leaders. Braden and Ashley will both be participating in the Remembrance Day Parade next month. After the parade they will go to a local church and have a day of fun and games.

Andrew saw the neurologist, all went well. She is referring him to see a pediatric opthamologist in Kelowna. After all these years of going down to Vancouver to see the neurologist we find out that she goes to Kelowna every few months. Who Knew. So on that note she will see us in Kelowna when he is due to see her again. While we were down there we spent a few hours at the orthotists so Andrew could get his new AFO's (Ankle foot orthotics). And guess what she works with an orthotist in Kelowna that we can go see for adjustments. Now why after going down there for two years do they finally tell us this now. Some people huh.

Darcy and Jodi picked up Amber for us in Namaimo when they were there and she spent a couple nights with them. Thanks guys. Amber came back with an uneven haircut and bangs. GRR. She also came back with a nasty cough and runny nose. What's new. Otherwise she is doing good.

Amber's birthday was yesterday, BIG 4. We were going to have a party for her and Andrew yesterday (Andrew will be 3 on Thursday) but we had to cancel it as Ashley has developed some kind of a rash like thingy, almost like chicken pox. Took her to Doctors on last Wednesday, he said not chicken pox but consider it contagious, so she missed 3 days of school so far and has developed more spots over the weekend so back to the Dr's tomorrow. Hopefully we can have their party this coming Sunday.

Mike and I are doing good.
