Thanksgiving

I Love cooking with my oven mitts on!

Turkey time has come and gone but I thought I better post something before halloween comes!

October has already flown by and I can't say that I remember what has happened. Falls is here and there have been a few mornings where there has been frost on the ground and the trees are staring to loose their leaves now. We definitely have more to rake here than we did in Ottawa. Kian loves playing in the leaves and loves helping with the gardening.



Thanksgiving we spent at Renee and Darcy's place. Mark was in charge of the turkey which was cooked at our place and taken over to theirs. Unfortunately the power went out right when Renee was about to put all the trimmings into the oven and use the stove. So out came the BBQ and the camping stove. Everything was finally cooked and ready in time for the power to come back on.... Dinner was wonderful and it was really nice to spend it with family and new friends who we have met out here.

Kian, Mark and I went out apple picking at Renee and Darcy's last weekend. We have a ton of apples and they taste fantastic! I have started making apple sauce and tried to start making pie but is just isn't the same without Ang doing her share of the cutting and mixing! It also takes me about 6 times longer with Kian running around wanting to "help"!

Our big adventure this week was to the dentist.... It was the one night that I wanted to go out and I think that Kian knew it! He wasn't even in the bathtub and somehow managed to hit his mouth into the tub and chip a tooth. When you only have 8 it is noticeable. Anyway, he does have a loose tooth and hopefully it will tighten up (is that what teeth do?) and not die. The dentist had to grind down the chipped one a bit which took 4 people to hold him down. I guess he isn't going to like going to the dentist either with a traumatic experience like that to back it up!

Kian has become a little fish in the swimming pool! I have been taking him every Friday to go swimming and he won't get out of the water to go home. He is now doing the doggy paddle and blowing bubbles, he also jumps off the side and doesn't mind going under. Today we went to a new pool which had a whirlpool. It looked like fun so I decided to go in with him. Well, it was a lot faster in the pool than it looked like from land. I was so tired once we finally got out from trying to hold him up and trying not to drown myself that we both needed a nap this afternoon! Maybe dad can come next Friday and see how far the little fish has come!

Couldn't make it through lunch after my swim.
