Parent Viewing Day

A few months into dance the parents get to come and watch what the kids are learning and what they do in class. Jocelyn is in Celtic dancing for the first time and just LOVES it. She prances around the house practicing all the time.
They work really hard in class.

Can't wait to see the year end show in full costume and watch the progression. Jocelyn was also asked to be in the opening dance for the year end show. She is VERY excited about it.

Stampeders Day

The western final was on and the Stampeders were in it. Jocelyn decided to make herself red and white. Got dressed in all red and white and made a flag to go with her outfit.Spencer ALWAYS does everything that Jocelyn does.
Too bad the Stampeders lost. The kids still had a great day though.

November Still

And then it snowed! For three straight days!LOTS of snow.

Play!

In the beginning of November we had some GREAT weather! The park is just the best! We love playing there.
Look at this mom.....a berry.

Halloween Fun

This is what Jocelyn wore for Black & Orange day at school. She looks so big!Jocelyn woke up with some CRAZY hair! We carved pumpkins Saturday morning, HAD to make pumpkin seeds. She's picking seeds out of the pumpkin "guts".

This is Spencer's contribution.....pluutthhhh!

Spencer picked out this pumpkin design.He really wasn't that into it though! Jocelyn on the other hand was VERY into it.Even did some carving! Great job! This was the design Jocelyn picked! DRACULA!!

Making pasta skeletons.This is the ONE good picture that I got of Spencer. These are all the kids that I have during the day too. We had a little Halloween party...they were all very excited.We even had "snakes" for lunch."No....no pictures!"I'm not sure who was more excited about Jocelyn's costume. She was excited to be a cheerleader and I was even more excited that she didn't have any make-up this year!!

Just Hangin'

This is Spencer zoning out right before nap time.My girl....
The ham....Cheese

This was so cute....Jocelyn and Spencer had just got there pj's on. Jocelyn had bought this book for him (with her own money) and decided that she wanted to read him a bedtime story.

He was so excited, he didn't want her to stop!

Spencer wants to do EVERYTHING that his big sister does!

WOW!

I thought that I should update all the people who DON'T know about my recent surprise. Here are a few pics of my BROTHER! He came to visit and we had a REALLY great time getting to know eachother. He came over in the afternoon the day that he was leaving and spent some time with me and the kids. Spencer fortunately had a short nap that day and got to spend some time with his uncle. Jocelyn of coarse was at school so she sorta missed out. But she was very impressed with his video gaming ability!
Uncle Tim knows the way to a little boys heart....new cars! Tim was an instant hit even without the cars!

Tim and I got along right away. It's still weird to think that I have a brother, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I have lots of catching up to do.....looking forward to it.

Thanks for contacting me "Little Brother"!

Busy, busy, busy!!

Well I guess that I've been a little busy! Haven't even looked at the blog for at least a month. So here are a few pictures of just life in general.Fruit by the foot....almost as tall as Spencer!!Here we were making candy necklaces. Spencer ended up putting on about 5 fruit loops and then just ate his necklace.We do lots of crafts at the dayhome. Spencer has loads of fun and loads of pompoms too!Homemade bird feeders....what a clean up job that was.

First Day of Grade 2

Wow....grade 2 already! They grow up so fast. She was very excited.She looks so old here, ready to go!Proud dad! Off to school!

Spencer's 2nd Birthday!

Spencer had his second birthday on August 24th. He had so much fun!When he was taking the tissue paper out of the bags he kept saying "Oh wow, wow, wow!" before he even knew there were presents!

Puppy!Thanks Auntie MaryBeth, I love my bomber jacket!

He certainly got ALOT of cars! He was in heaven!

The concentration is incredible.

This is a great bike that Grandpa Don got for him. He's still a little bit small but it won't take long before he's zooming up and down the street like his big sister.
