Halloween 2017

This is a pretty serious season around these parts, monsters in windows, skeleton reaching out from the front yard, zombie guts, and super heros ... we pull out all the stops!

This season is all fun...

...and games!

Zombie Buddies

...with a happy Hero

MOMENT: Heroic Zombie

Keva wanted to be a pumpkin, but that changed. Tavish was intent on some horror in his Halloween this year. In the end, they both got what they wanted, a pumpkin was carved, the place looked festive, there was a party, oh, and candy ... always lots of seasonal candy!

Puppet Play

While Mommy was away for the weekend (running a secondary leadership weekend), Tom assisted Tavish and Riley in the construction of a puppet show stage... let the creativity begin!

MOMENT: Puppets!

There was a chalk invitation with arrows to guide us to the evening performance put on by these two creative souls while their audience sat comfortably under the pergola in the backyard...

Hey Now...

Tavish has taken a keen interest in Smash Mouth's "All Star" song. Yes, the one that was popular in 1999... Anyway, this old songs has received many a new lyrics during this fall's session of creativity...

MOMENT: Monsters or Macaroni

As Tavish was singing the original version in the backseat, Keva joined right in "Hey now, you're a Monster..."

Tavish along with his buddies Riley and Zack, have given these tired lyrics an overhaul...

Somebody once told me, the world is macaroni
I took a bite out of a tree
It tasted kinda funny
So spat out a bunny
And the bunny starting throwing carrots at me...
A hundred years later,
He turned into Darth Vador
And he threw his light saber at me...
He missed by a meter
He hit Justin Bieber
And he started singing at me...

Little Thankfuls

We had a friend-full, thank-full feast for Thanksgiving this year...

Keva, Parker, Zach, Tav, Jack

MOMENT: Kids and a Feast

Our family joined Maggie and Lilly & Jack to celebrate Thanksgiving at Peggy, Jeremy, Zachary, and Parker's this year. The kids put on a silly show, ran around, hung out, and enjoyed fine food. So much to be thankful for.

Apple and Falls 2017

It's pretty much an annual outing since moving back to Toronto - we head off for the day to Niagara!

MOMENT: Apples and Water

We like to pick some fruit, watch some water fall, and fit in a little hike, it's tradition!

An apple for you...

An apple for me...

Whee! Ladder the highlight 

These two...
