Pumpkins & Snow

Today is the first snowfall of the season!  Of course, the kids are excited. Rebekah & Chloe were able to don their new snowsuits today.  Rebekah even has pink Roughrider boots.   It's been a bit more than any of us expected, I think.  When snow was predicted, I expected a few fluffy flakes, not a full snowstorm with white-out conditions.  I think they've even shut-down the airport in Regina.  Thankfully, Glynn was in town, and finished work early, so that he could drive us both home.

Today we also carved the first of our pumpkins.  Glynn has decided that he's going to carve one every evening.  This year, he's going to try making a racoon. Tonight, we'll make pumpkin seeds, which is one of Chloe's favourites.

On Saturday, we went to Christmas in October.  We had a beautiful day for it.  We spent a little over two hours browsing our favourite shops in Moose Jaw, previewing many of their Christmas offerings.  We weren't able to find Christmas ornaments for the girls, but with two months until Christmas, we still have plenty of time.

This week, on Friday, the girl's begin skating.  Chloe will be skating this year as well.  If she can learn to balance, and not fall down, she will have accomplished something.  Friday night, we're also going to be attending my school's performance of Willy Wonka.  Rebekah has been to musical's with us the past two years.  This year will be Chloe's first.  The really nice thing is that we have a four day weekend coming up!!
