Halloween

Kaitlyn our gypsy and Gracie our 80's rocker went out trick or treating last night. Both of them had friends invite them over to trick or treat with them. Which was so good because we don't live where there are many people plus we don't know our neighbors that we do have very well. Gracie came back with 2 shopping bags full and Kaitlyn had one shopping bag. So now we have WAY too much candy, about 30 bags of chips and 9 cans of pop. Think I am going to freeze some of this candy for later.

With both kids gone last night Matt took me out to dinner. I had Tandori Salmon and Matt had a Lamb shank. Oh it was SO good! I was a very different night not having the kids around and it being Halloween. I guess this is the beginning of our kids growing up.

Anyway, it's hard to believe November is on us and in just 3 short weeks will be heading to Texas to visit Dave and Linda for Thanksgiving. I do have to say my holidays are all mixed up and those usual "feelings" you get around this time of year are just not there. I think this has to do with Canada celebrating Thanksgiving in October and then having Halloween. Just a bit backwards. Our trip to Texas is one we are looking VERY forward to. It's been about 6 or 7 years since we were down there last. Plus I think we are also looking forward to some warmer weather!

Well, over the next few months we have a lot planned and lots going on so stay tuned to all our adventures! And to our family and friends in WA~ we will be home for Christmas and can't wait to see you all. We miss you all very much and look forward to seeing you when we get there!
