Marijuana

This afternoon I spent a while making up some marijuana joints for the boys to take to school tomorrow.......no, I really did!

Chris is going as a 70's hippy and Laurie is going as Bob Marley...so they both need weed lol! So Chris has a little ziploc bag of weed to take and a small joint...and Laurie has a HUGE joint!!!!!

We're not sure how well that will go down in a school but....oh well...its part of their costumes :)

I should take a picture of them...they worked really well! I crushed up the leaves from my dried roses - the ones Lloyd bought me the other week and for Chris's I used a beige coffee filter for the paper, and for Lauries I soaked a big sheet of paper in coffee and used that :) Then I set fire to the ends to make them look part used :)

Wicked Witch cakes...

This evening, once Lloyd brought home the cakes, I set to work baking endless wicked witch cakes...they are green cupcakes - the colour of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz....they taste yummy but look nasty.

Now to ice them and decorate them with the little sugar pumpkins and candy corn I bought in Whistler...then the children can take some to school tomorrow to share with their friends :)

Tomorrow we are heading to a pumpkin patch party in the morning....then in the afternoon Susannah is bringing a friend back from school and we are taking them trick or treating in town.....then we will drop her friend home.....she lives in Tofield I think.

Chris is going back to a friends home after school and is trick or treating with them.....

Laurie is coming with us but meeting his friends in town......

ok off to ice the cakes....

New tights....

Abigail went straight upstairs to put on her new tights...they went well with the skirt but I'm not sure about the top.....quite the ensemble.......lol!

Then she and Sam took turns trying to make scary faces!

Soccer star....

Laurence in his soccer shirt :) And he has a mouthful of fruit pastilles - hence the weird face lol!

Parcel from Grandma and Grandad.....

My Mom phoned today and asked that if a parcel arrives from her, could Laurence phone her and be on the phone when he opens it.

Well, the parcel DID arrive today, so we phoned them and had the phone on speaker phone while he opened the parcel. Inside was two Beano's, some fruit pastilles and a birthday gift - a Manchester United shirt with Ronaldo and 7 on the back! He was very happy!

in the parcel was also a pair of tights for Abigail - lovely stripey ones....by accident Mom ended up buying 5 pairs of tights for Abby this year, so there will be more on the way soon :)

Thank you Mom and dad!!!

Oh and by the way - where is your new blog Dad???????

A letter from Margori's Mom.....

Today we received a letter from the Mom of the little girl we 'foser' through World Vision :) Abigail was thrilled to get this and is so pleased that her hand is exactly the same size as Margori's!!!!

Attacked with a lawnmower......

I attacked my kids with a lawnmower this morning......Sam needed a haircut and Abby begged for one.....ah well, its just hair, it will grow back :)

God

My Mom thought it would be interesting if I got Abigail to draw a picture of what she thought God would look like. Well, this is what she thinks he is like - on his hat is a halo which she believes all dead people have (?????) and he has a moustache...she's not sure why.

So, thats God :)

He kind of resembles Santa to me :)

This all came about because the other night the girls were tidying the kitchen after supper and Susie was telling Abigail how to pray....Abigail was fascinated....

It must be so confusing growing up with an athiest Mother, an Agnostic Father and a Christian Sister :)

Is it Friday 13th?

Around 1am or so (I think!!) I woke up to go to the bathroom (just to pee!!!) but the toilet must have been blocked because when I flushed it, it filled with water that went all over the bathroom floor! So I had to mop all that up and Lloyd gets up to check that its just our toilet and NOT the septic system backing up!!!!!

This morning I was due to meet Tanya at the Science Centre. Tanya was going to call me at 8am....Lloyd always calls me at 8:10am to wake me up.

I woke up sometime after 9am!!!!! I check mail and Tanya and Lloyd have emailed me to say they have been trying to call me.

I can't find the phone! Abby says someone called but she didn't know who it was so she hung up - but I guess not properly! By this time Tanya has missed the bus she needs to get to the science centre.

A little while later I am in the bathroom and I slip on a wet patch behind the door, turn my foot over on itself and hurt my wrist and arm.......

After giving up on the science centre I decided we would go into town to the library and get some Halloweeny type books.....but after my fall I decided I wasn't safe to be out in public!

So we decided to make cupcakes to decorate with the candy corn and little sugary pumpkins we bought in Whistler......we get everything ready and the children are excited and then we go to get the eggs.....NO EGGS!!!! And no chickens to go and get the eggs from!!!

So now I've given up on the day and am sitting here eating cookies.....I think its best if I don't try to do anything or go anywhere today!

Tomorrow is another day!
