Here’s what we’ve been up to since my last post…
My parents’ anniversary/my father’s birthday dinner:
B was just out of the shot on this one. I had another pic with him in it, but then all you see is his head…
DoT’s birthday:
Hallowe’en:
(FYI: E is a leopard (?), A is a vampire, and B (obviously) is Super Mario.)
When I asked them to pick their favourite treat when they came back from trick-or-treating, this is what they all chose… (Although, after a few sips, none of them wanted any more.)
And finally, “helping” with the yard clean-up to get ready for winter…
School is in full swing now. They are all doing okay, although following parent-teacher interviews last week it sounds like E and A need to be separated in class, or they can get a little out of hand. Why doesn’t that surprise me? B is thriving in the French-immersion program. He loves learning French words and is always asking us how to say something in French or reporting new words to us when he learns them.
All three are also taking piano lessons, swimming lessons and skating lessons this fall. It keeps us really busy. They love, love, love the skating lessons; and it is quite fun to watch them on the ice. We bought B new skates this week, and that set him back a bit since they were different than the ones he’d been used to. But, unlike softball in the summer, with skating he seems quite happy to just keep getting up and trying again. Good thing, since the lessons go until March. So if he didn’t like skating it would make for a long winter.
We’re all getting excited about Christmas coming. Today we saw Santa at the mall for the first time. When Santa asked them what they wanted to Christmas, A & E said an iPod, and B said “a marble”. Heh. Last year, B wanted a nutcracker. He is the easiest kid ever to buy for.
K…
