Witches In the Air

Halloween Weekend. 3 days of madness…


Carve pumpkins with Auntie Nancy

So this year Chaplin wanted to be a transformer (no he has not seen the movies or cartoons.) why? well because i showed him this youtube video:

He asked to be that dancing car! I told him about Bumble Bee the Transformer and there was no turning back. We bought him a package costume, and he asked me "where is the plasma blaster!" So i got to work and made him a plasma blaster and some shoulder doors! His costume was so cool.

Boyd Halloween Rule - it's okay to buy parts of your costume as long as some if it's home-made.


Pre-school kids all dressed up. No plasma baster here.


from school we went off to Adam's work for the kids party.


Where is that plasma blaster gun?

ahh... here it is.


Chap had so many people on the street stopping and giving him thumbs up.
AWESOME costume dude.

I was even making Adam a mask.. but in the end i couldn't find cold foam latex in Vancouver to cast the wolf face. Oh well next year!

Adult Party at Adam's work.

Dead Red Riding hood and the big bad Wolf.
Adam looked like a wookie.





Anita my fair maiden. Nice.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT -

Over to Auntie Nancy's neighbourhood to treak-or-treat.






We love Halloween, hope it was as good for you as it was for us.
BOO

Escargot?

One last game of golf before the summer is over.
Okay we don't play golf, but we should - it's fun.

Note to Adam - that bendy move you are doing is bad on your back.


Bike ride on a perfect Saturday.

Season: FALL

Thanksgiving dinner and we were surround with love.
Table cloth: wedding gift from Sharman (i think Courtney has the same one)
Rose plates: belonged to my great grandmother Teather (mom's dad's mom..)
Serving dishes: custom made by Auntie Louise for our wedding
Wine: thanks Mark and Sue!
Wine glasses: from Rod and Fran.

Played a family game of battle ship after dinner,
Boys vrs Girl = Win for team Boys.
Do you notice behind the boys is our Halloween tree?


Chap just looked at this picture and said "Wahooo, hey can we go there."
Spending time with Uncle Chris in his work shop.


One Saturday when Adam had to go to work, Chaplin and I decided to go hang out at the mall! We played in the kid pit (don't ask!), we had lunch together and then went cloths shopping. It was interesting letting him pick the cloths off the rack. So from top to bottom this is an outfit he picked out all by himself. (he is not smiling because he decided he didn't like the jacket after all... I told him it was large enough that maybe it he would grow into loving it)



BOWLING.
He has a team shirt now and I'll take a picture of him in his yellow shirt.
I need Fran to come visit soon so she can sew all of Chaplin's badges onto his bowling shirt.
Anita and I did talk about 'can you hot glue the badges on?' ... i don't know!

ART

Snail twins.

Still Art - Chaplin set this scene up and then walked me through it.
inside the blocks, he had hidden men.


Still Art - this one is super funny.

We go out without Chaplin? Why yes we do!
Proof in the pictures.
