Megan started grade 2 and Evan is in preschool. Yahoo.... so I'm officially the chauffeur and I've volunteered to be the recycle lady at Evan's preschool. I'm not currently as involved in Megan's school this year....but hope to pick that back up once Aaron is a little older. Being involved in your children's education by volunteering in any aspect and going to the PTA meetings makes a huge difference.
We took a weekend in Banff so Spencer could run the Melissa's Road Race. He did very well, inspite of the lack of training for the 22K run (1/2 marathon). His time was 1 hour 50 minutes. Way to go! I also did well as I juggled 3 kids outside in the wind while waiting for Spencer to finish. After the race we wandered around the townsite and looked in the stores. We purchased fudge (Megan waited the whole trip just for that). We also went on a hike and let the kids jump on the hotel beds! (just kidding). I love going to the mountains. It was a nice getaway. Next year I told Spencer that we would run the 10K together and have someone watch the kids for the weekend for us.
This is what happens when you leave the camera out....the kids get quite for a moment and then you discover what they have been up to....and check the memory for the candid photos that they took. Does this happen to anyone else?
One day I'll learn. But some of the pic's are pretty funny.
This little guy or should I say "big" guy is now over 2 months old. He is healthy and strong and has such an easy going temperament, a nice change in our house hold. He has just recently started to use his abs to sit up.
Happy Thanksgiving! May your turkey be large and moist, may your sweet potatoes be sweet and may there be a vast variety of desserts and may you not gain a pound! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love to bundle up and snuggle under sweaters and blankets to stay warm. It is always easier to layer up if your cold....but you can only get so naked to cool you down in the summer months. The kids are back in school, the beautiful fall colors, thanksgiving time, my birthday, Halloween.....it's a wonderful time of year. Enjoy!
