Pic Update

It has been a very busy month and it seems to be flying by. The kids are really excited for Christmas and we have been loving it. Every morning Owen and Kate look for the Elf to see where he has landed for the day, they both get so excited when he is found. 
Owen's reading skills have really taken off, he's so confident now and is randomly reading words where ever we go. He is given two books every Friday from school to read over the weekend and he is starting to read with no assistance consistently.
Kate is really chatty and with no surprise her word selection is mostly all foods! Egg, apple, cracker, cheese and bowl are just a few. 
Enough with the bragging of our sweet kids, here is a selection of pics over the past few weeks.

Beautiful fall colours in our front entrance

Kate was having fun with the camera

My Mom brought down a bunch of greens
and we made up this arrangement

Owen has been asking us to go for a walk
after dinner lately and it's been so
nice to get out and walk the neighbourhood

Owen and I finally got around to decorating
our tree

Kate got up from her nap and wanted in on the action

You know that when it's too quiet
something is always up. Well, Kate
found Owen's tablet and got herself comfortable

Owen thought it was pretty funny to dress up
and randomly scare Rob and I

So sweet

It finally snowed, and everyone was
so excited

Even Kate

She was loving playing around in it

Snack time cuddles

It was too snowy to take the stroller so it was time
to break out the wrap

She really has to be wherever he goes

Leanne bought some very cool pants for Kate and
of course she found the perfect accesories

After a solid 20 years the hot air popper
died. Rob was pretty choked up

I somehow managed to make cinnamon buns Friday morning
for Owen's teachers

After school drop off Kate helped me shovel
the driveway and this guy was plowing
our neighbourhood

Saturday morning I woke up to breakfast in bed. Owen had
done this all on his own, including the
candy cane heart

Pic Update

I came downstairs to find these two chilling
on the sofa one morning. So cute

Owen had wacky hair day at school
and he was really enjoying it

Kate is starting to only eat if she can
feed herself, making mealtimes a
bit messy!
 
Woke up Wednesday to both kids pretty
sick so a day at home was in order

My Mom came to visit for three days which all of us loved

It was the Santa Clause parade in town today, unfortunately Kate was
still really sick so Rob stayed home with her while Owen and I
met up with some friends

A highlight for sure, seeing this van

Even with a fever, runny nose and
goopy eyes this girl is smiley

I let her play in Owen's lego room
today and she loved it

Owen was pretty happy to have Kate join
in the fun
