The week that was...

Wow, so it's November, huh?  How'd that one sneak by me?  I suppose Halloween should have tipped me off, but I often forget to associate events with calendar dates, if that makes any sense.  Yes, I know my mom's birthday is November 5th, but what does that have to do with next week?  Yikes.

This week has been a ball, mostly because my parents have been visiting and my brother-in-law popped in for 3 days last weekend (I ate WITH my HUSBAND in a RESTAURANT people!).  The gods of parenting did me another solid this week: Cam had his Halloween class party on Tuesday and William on Wednesday, so they could BOTH wear the much coveted ghost costume seen above.


I also added even more fall-themed items to the mantel, in the forms of Marcel the mini-pumpkin and his friend, and the mummy lanterns inspired by Jen.  And of course we had to put out the jack-o-lanterns we carved in the afternoon!  The one with the grin is currently sitting pureed in the freezer thanks to my amazing mumma.  I agree Cam - two-thumbs-up.


Also, the above craziness that happened chez moi a little while ago culminated in the below craziness, and while I am not supposed to blog about it yet, I am sure the powers-that-be won't mind if I ask you to tune in to CBC television on Tuesday, November 6 (that's next week BTW) at 2pm for 3 minutes of the most exciting and inspiring television in the history of the medium.*


So that's about all I've got for now, I know I could use a weekend! 
I hope your weekend is two-thumbs-up! :)

  2. Your littles are too cute! TV appearances are all well and good but - you ate in a restaurant?! How was it? I've forgotten how to eat calmly and have an adult conversation ;)

    PVR is set. Cannot wait to see your fabulous home.

    1. Honestly Jen, the resto meal was the highlight of the MONTH. We went to Woodlot and it was soooo good. I am already planning for their next visit, and trying to get my folks to come at the same time again! :) Thanks for your support Jen, let me know what you think! :)
