Weekend was busy.
Friday night I went out with 4 girls from the neighbourhood. Saturday Andrew had hockey practice at 8:00 in the morning, then we went to a birthday party in the afternoon. Saturday night we went over to a friend's place for a 40th birthday party.
Sunday we went to see baby Emily. She is really cute! And she is bigger than I thought she would be which is great! I can't believe I forgot my camera.
Andrew started to get a fever while we were visiting. I think he caught what Nathan had in Florida. But it only lasted a day and he is back at school today.
Tonight is Nathan's last skating lesson which I'm sure he's happy about.

Pictures
Ok, here are some pictures...I tried to narrow them down, but there's still alot!
One really funny thing that happened on the trip...we were walking around the beautiful gardens at the Atlantis Hotel. I turn around and Nathan is gone. I'm looking around and there he is about 50 feet away, under a palm tree with his shorts down to his ankles...going pee on some nice exotic plants!! No Nathan! I go running over to him and I see two guys looking down from their balcony laughing. How embarrassing. I pull his shorts up quickly. He says that "it was too late", I guess that means he really had to go? He says "I peed in the bush at the cottage". Nathan, this is NOT a cottage! Oh well, I think those two guys are the only ones that saw him do it...right after I pulled his pants up, lots of people came walking through the garden! Good thing those rich, stuffy old ladies didn't see what he had just done.

Florida Trip!
We are back from a week's vacation in Florida with Grandma and Papa! Nice weather we've come back to. Yuck.
We had a great time. We were on a Carnival Cruise to Nassau for the first few days, then we did Disney for the rest of the week. The weather was hot in Nassau but when we got back to Florida, the temperature had dropped alot from the day we arrived! But it was perfect weather for walking around Disney. Nathan had a fever for a couple days, threw up a few times one night but he was a trooper (and Advil works wonders!). Andrew had more energy that I ever thought he had! He was great the whole trip (although he's a bit of a shopaholic) and absolutely loved Walt Disney World!
I took over 400 pictures so I have to sort through them before I post.

Jacob's Birthday
We celebrated Jacob's 2nd birthday on Sunday! It was loud and lots of fun! Nathan loved playing with Jacob's new train set. We sang Happy Birthday to Jacob 3 times just because he loved it so much. Nathan started to get impatient...he yelled "just eat it, this is taking WAY too long!"
We missed Aunt Sheryl and Emily though. Soon Emily will be joining in on all the parties!

A big congratulations to Uncle Mike, Aunt Sheryl and Julia on the birth of Emily!!
We are so glad that she is doing well and we hope that she can go home very soon.
This week is flying by!
Halloween was fun. The kids only went trick or treating on our street, then they got tired and that was it. Andrew said he had enough candy...at least he's not greedy! We had 180 kids come to our house. I had enough candies for 200 so we had a bit leftover. I knew we were going to get alot of kids.
Nathan didn't want to go to his skating lesson on Tuesday so we didn't force him. Lately he doesn't seem very interested in it at all. He said he doesn't like falling down. Bob will try to take him public skating this weekend. Try to get him interested again...
Happy Birthday to Jacob!! I can't believe he is already 2 years old. Time flies!
We will see you on Sunday.
