Norwood Fair

This past Sunday aka Thanksgiving weekend we decided to drive up to the Norwood Fair. It was cool outside so we call bundled up in comfy pants and sweaters. We lasted about $20. and 39 minutes later we left. The main reason for going was to see the animals up close. We thought. Thought! Sophia would enjoy that the most. Wrong, a large vocal goose scared the crap out of her to the point of sobbing tears. After that wouldn't leave the comfort of my arms. She kept mumbling "I want to go home" melted my heart so we grabbed some fries (gross) and left. I was only able to capture one photo.

October 1st

My plan is to write a mini note everyday in October. It's my favourite month. Cool weather, leaves changing. Like a fresh start. Today I worked in the morning in Stirling and then had a two hour nap in the afternoon. For some reason I was exhausted. Maybe because I'm growing a human?? After my well deserved nap we packed up the kids and headed to my dads for some ATV riding. What a spectacular day to be outside cruising the trails. Instead of heading home after we took a jaunt to Madoc for pizza and salads. For a special treat, ice cream sandwiches for everyone before bath and bed.

Beautiful Fall Weather.

Jason is off pretending to be an electrician today :). The extra cash is always nice so off to work to help out my Dad for the day. I cleared my schedule and an doing the sahm gig all day. Such a gorgeous day with the leaves starting to change. We decided after breakfast and a bit if TV to go for a walk. I even had to dig out the hats. Burrrrrrr. Not complaining as this is my all time fave weather.

Apple Picking

Today we made our way out to an orchard West of Brighton for a little Apple picking. It's still very early in the season so the variety was limited. I've been dying to get my freezer stocked with apple crisp for the winter. Lindsay, Andrew, and Ryan joined us. Sophia and Andrew were big helps in the orchard. We picked all we needed in about 6 minutes flat!! We then made our way back to the entrance where they had some swings, sandbox, and giant pile of hay bales for the kids to climb up on. The air was so nice and cool but the sun was still shining. The perfect day, really! After we came home and Christopher went down for his nap, Sophia, Jason and I got to work making many, many apple crisps. Lots of work but lots of fun and memories made.

Christopher speaks

Love hearing my wee man figure out new words. His fav by far is Pool!!! All I need to do us mention going in the pool and I have him on repeat saying "pool" pool pool pool. Another great one is Hot. But everything he isn't supposed to touch is " hot". Here's a photo of my three at Grandpa Thompsons house.

Work from home

So about a month ago I was offered a sweet gig! Same job, more money, and work from home capabilities. Dream. Come . True. At first I had to come up with a balance. So far though it's been great!!! I can't believe
how much more productive I've been. Meeting lots of new people and traveling all over. Best part is of course my family gets to tag along :). Today jason took Christopher for some man time while Sophia curled up next to me in the bedroom while I pounded away on my notebook. Here she is waking up and confused on where she is. Love her do much.

Happy

I have the happiest little man ( mostly) unless its around 4:30 pm. Then it's a shit show. Before this time of day though he is pure smiles. I caught him trying to say his name the other day. A long ssssssssssss. I love watching him point and discover our world.
We went blueberry and raspberry picking with both kidlets. What a great time. The kids loved it especially Sophia . Such a big help. Now we have almost enough berries for the winter.
