Christmas cards were mailed on Friday! Yay!
Shane and I finished decorating and Ryan was outside playing in the snow while Dad shoveled.

What was I thinking?

I know I am crazy sometimes......of course I know that everyone has been extremely busy! Being the last week of school and the last weekend before Christmas.....the lists just keep getting longer. Anyhow, Over a week ago, there was a list at Shane's preschool asking for parents to volunteer to bring stuff for cookie decorating the last day of school. My bright mind said to me "Oh that's like a week away, sure I can make cookies on the weekend, no problem" HA! Weekend came and went, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday......I ended up taking Shane to bed at 7:30 as he was nodding off. I fell asleep too! (Too many late nights in a row will do that to a person) Anyhoo, I woke up at midnight and panicked! I have to make cookies for Shane's class tomorrow.....Well, here is the fruits of my labour. I crawled into bed at 4am........Just thought I would share some of my insanity....
There were 30 men, so enough for at least 2 per kid and tonnes and tonnes of stars!

Ryan's Christmas Concert

Shane's first Preschool Field Trip

First the Hay ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins! (note to self: pumpkin patch on Chadsey Road in Greendale)

Storytime in the barn on hay bales to sit on and (awful) hot chocolate to drink.....yuk!
Outside just before heading home to pet some goats......couldn't catch the ducks or llama...

The boys were so cute and they were remarkably good. The weather held out for us too!

First Day of School

First day of Grade 2. Ryan is in Mrs. Krajnyak's Class.

First day of Preschool at the Sardis Children's Centre. Teachers are Sarah and Mary-Lou.

Agassiz Fair

The boys were fearless in the bouncy castle!

Mini Golf is always a big hit with both Shane and Ryan.

The Carousel is also a favorite. Couldn't believe that it was a $1 a ticket and this ride alone was 4 tickets each. How long does the ride last? About 2 minutes......

Aren't they cute together? Again, this ride took 5 tickets each......Again 2 minutes........

Good thing this was only bumper cars.....LOL.
