Happy Hallo-Wasn’t
Up on The Hill, we celebrated along with EVERYONE in town an early Halloween. The businesses “downtown” all handed out candy and goodies. The main street was closed off and there were ghosts, goblins, superheros, princesses and all the rest out in masses.
Thankfully, friends & J arrived at our place early and we were able to hit the streets pre-chaos with the preschoolers and babies.
Becca was quite overwhelmed, yet gleeful to collect candy. Ethan, like any self respecting hot dog was content to watch the world go by, while his Dad ate his candy stash till his tummy hurt. It was wonderful to go with friends and see so many familiar faces. This place is such a small town. I will miss that a little.
We sent a security deposit for the apartment. Actually J’s parents sent it, my MIL has been our Canadian bank manager for two and a half years. Thank you! We haven’t actually seen pictures of the inside of the apartment, however it is run by a good property management. If it sucks well … it will only be a year till we are *hopefully* in our own home.
We should have quotes from the two moving companies by Monday and hopefully move forward in booking the trip to Halifax by the end of the week. All this legwork, with the kids and normal household stuff is exhausting. I am trying to remain focused that this is the last major move. Can you believe the end of October is so near?
The Great White North Contests are coming to the finale. Crystal is the winner of the Bomb Town T and I will be posting the Grand Prize … The One Year Pro Flickr Account contest early next week.
I mentioned before that Becca is really content and easy going lately. It is so nice to see her settling into herself and happy. We have been trying to do some crafts, a lot of reading and activities out and about. She is eager to learn, yet not quite always ready to listen but we are getting there. I hope this move does not rock her world too much.
Ethan … oh my poor sweet hot dog … He is cutting FOUR TEETH … right now. The two bottom teeth are out and no longer the vain of his existence. However the top teeth, the ones next to the front teeth are pushing through already. The one on his right has broke through and the other three teeth are threatening to erupt any moment. He went in for his six month shots, plus the flu shot for good measure … ugh. He was beside himself in pain and throbbing! I am so hoping all this pain will leave him teething free for a period of time (HA! Like when we are moving … a Mother can dream right?) He is weighing is at a whopping 18.5 lbs! Little porker! hehe! He is rolling and squirming desperate to move forward … crawling is in our near future.
I should sleep. Too much in my head. sigh. Have a fab weekend!
Cutest hot dog, ever! I wish that our town had something like this … it sounds divine.
That sounds great. I’m trying to remember to celebrate for Jamie here. Some normalcy amongst the craziness. Maybe we’ll do pumpkins today.
Ethan’s just doign you a favor by getting all of his teething done now. I’m sure of it.
Oh so yummy…I would eat that hot dog…and I don’t eat them at all…But then again your last post would get mad at me…tee hee
Great costumes Chelle!!!!
So excited about your move! Glad to hear that it is running about as smoothly as it can from all those miles away…
I wish I could do ANY thing to help!!!!!
Becca makes quite the adorable ladybug, and Ethan looks equally adorable as a hotdog! There are such fun costumes out there for kids these days. And the evening in town looks like a fab idea, can’t really do that in a big city like Edmonton I suppose
Glad the move is coming into shape, good to hear.
Your kids look so cute. You have to be careful someone doesn’t try to eat little Ethan he’s so adorable dressed as a hot dog.
I pray your move will go so smoothly for you and your family Chelle. Have a great weekend.
ohmygosh! they both look so cute!!
do they get to trick-or-treat again next week??
The kids look great! What an awesome idea to do that early.
Your kids look awesome!
Look how cute your kids are in their costumes! I hope Ethan’s feeling better tonight.
Congrats on the apartment and Ethan is the cutest hot dog I’ve ever seen! Rest up and you have a fantastic weekend too =)
Lol! we did the trick or treating thing today too, at my parents plaza. I will post a blog with pics tomorrow.
Aww… poor Ethan. He’s caught up to Emma it sounds like. Emma’s 7th tooth is almost out, I can see it but not thru totally. Those poor kids, life can be so cruel.
I’m getting soo excited for you & your move. Halifax is supposed to be absolutely beautiful & you never know where out paths will take us in the future, we may meet up again. This city is dying a little bit every day… scary.
the kids look so cute in their costumes and nice and warm! Hope all works out with the apartment (sight unseen!) and choosing a moving company!
cute cute cute!
p.s. we bought our house sight unseen–ummmmmm….i wouldn’t recommending doing that with a house but, an apartment??? hey, it’s only a year! p.s. and let’s just say it all worked out! just pray!
How CUTE! I can’t believe how much is always going on with your life! Make sure to relax now and then and take good care of YOU! Please email me so I have your email addy and will reply with my addy…I’m so sorry I’ve taken so long to reply! =/
Your Becca has the most gorgeous porcelain skin! I love that you’re getting out for the Halloween fun.
Love the new layout, you’re so darn creative!
hot dog is just darn cool. I need one of those costumes. :p
So dang cute!
Oh I love their costumes!!
They both look so adorable in their costumes. Becca is such a sweetie to be so accommodating these days. Good girl Becca!
Those costumes are just too precious!
Hey! I have a toothy boy too. Fly has 14 teeth now at 13 months. At least, I think it’s 14. I stopped counting after 10….
Those costumes are so cute. Glad the kids had fun~!
Too cute. We had one of those ‘worm suits’ too. Ours was a ladybird [bug?] Glad you had such a great time and that everyone is having such fun.
Cheers
