Homeschool chums...
Abigail was so pleased to see her friend N again - they hadn't seen each other since dance classes ended before Summer!
Cake time...
It was impossible to get a good picture of all the children smiling by the cake....so I gave up and these pictures are TERRIBLE lol...but kind of funny too! And yes, Christophers glasses are taped up!!! AGAIN!!!
The ice cream cake (from Safeway) was YUMMY!!!! Great choice Laurence!! Oh and I put my batteries in the charger and then forgot to switch the charger on lol so some of the pics are dark :(
Broadmoor Lake today....
(I tried to post this earlier but Blogger switched off for maintenance so I couldn't post it...better late than never ;)
Today turned into such a nice day! We spent the afternoon at Broadmoor Lake with my friend Jennifer and her children. Abigail was so thrilled to see N there and while Jennifer went to collect her Son from drama class, N came for a walk with us around the lake. We saw a Muskrat in the lake (kind of like a Beaver but smaller). There were geese sat by the age of the lake and three remote control sail boats were floating around......the muskrat didn't seem bothered by them at all......
The children had fun on the playground while Jennifer and I sat and caught up with news....the weather was just GORGEOUS!!! I'm so glad we didn't waste it doing something inside!
After the lake, we drove to Safeway to get the birthday cake and a few groceries.....then home and I walked down the road to meet Laurie who was cycling home from school - I met Susie from the bus too - Abigail and Sam were both asleep in the car....
A little after 4pm Chris phoned to say he was back from his day on the river.....so I popped to the school to pick him up.....sounds as though he had a great time - no one fell in the water, no one drowned so it was a great day :)
Lloyd is now on his way home from work...Lasagna is almost ready.....out by the fire tonight and then Little People Big World :)
Have a good evening everyone!

Birthday gifts....
Laurie opened his birthday gifts when he got home from school today....he has been busy building with Meccano ever since! He is having Lasagna and garlic bread for dinner as its his favourite, and then chocolate ice cream cake for dessert (also at his request!)
He took cupcakes to school today for each of his friends and it sounds as though he had a great day!
I will take the traditional birthday cake pictures later and post those too :)
The movie we watched being filmed...
movies.aol.com/movie/christmas-in-wonderland/31273/video/trailer-no-1/1997146
This movie was filmed here in Edmonton at the West Edmonton Mall...it meant that
the Christmas decorations at the mall were still up in July! We watched a few scenes being filmed and also know a few of the extras :) We were also in stores and asked to leave so they could close them for filming lol! But kind of cool to see a movie set in action!
It's nice to see places you know in a movie :) It doesn't look like a GREAT movie but might be fun for the kids :)

Monday....
Its Monday morning. It's going to get to 19c today - another gorgeous Fall day. We are packing a small picnic and heading into town to a playground thats by a lake. We'll take a walk around to say goodbye to the geese before they head South....we can play at the playground.....and have our lunch. Then I have to run and get Lauries birthday cake!
Laurie only opened one gift this morning and the rest he will open when he gets home from school - they over slept this morning and although they weren't late, there wasn't time to enjoy gift opening like we normally do..........
Chris has gone off for his river watch day on the North Saskatchewan River....I hope they have fun. Susie has taken Abigails school picture order back to school as well as the library book she had - so the school fees will be reimbursed today. That covers our membership of the Science Centre for the year :)
Sam and I have been sat in bed reading some of his books. Abigail has been watching The Magic School Bus. I guess its time to get showered and dressed so we can head into town.
Oh and the community league phoned last night - I have to go to a meeting on Thursday night at the hall - I'm helping to plan and organize the childrens Christmas party. I volunteered there two years ago and it was fun so I'm happy to take part again this year.
Tonight I am hoping its not too breezy for a fire again - I love making the most of the nice evenings by sitting outside until dark.
Have a great week everyone!
