My Final Post

To those that like to read my blog, i've decided that I just don't have the time to post. Between my digital scrapbooking and time on Facebook, I just simply can't keep up. Feel free to add me to Facebook though:)

Take care,

Toyota's Kids Christmas Party

Well now that Halloween is done, we're onto Christmas. Gerry and I took the kids to Toyota's Kids Christmas Party yesterday. The kids had a blast!!! There was soo much to do:) They had ice skating (which we obviously didn't do with 3 of them so young), a carnival, crafts, face painting, a whole gym of inflatables to bounce on and lots of food. I have to say it was the best party yet, as the line ups were short with so many different activities going on.

Here's some pics.

Connor came down with an ear infection last week, poor guy. I knew something was wrong when he was crying as he's always my happy baby unless he's hungry. Thank-god for antibiotics. Things run much smoother around here when we're all getting sleep:)

Cambridge Centre Halloween Parade

Mommy-a-go had a kids Halloween Parade organized at the Cambridge Centre on Thursday October 30th. My mom and I decided to take the kids and met Tammy there:) Wow, it was crazy busy, but the kids really enjoyed it. The twins actually caught on to the whole trick-or-treat thing and didn't stop to try to eat each candy as it was put in their bags after the first few stores. They had storytime and face painting afterwards, but by that point the my mom and I and the kids were pooched.

Here's some pics from the event

Last week was great with Gerry off! We managed to get alot done around the house and I finished my first week on weight watchers and lost 2lbs....I know that doesn't sound like alot, but considering I had birthday cake on my first day (hey it was my birthday, how couldn't I??), I was pretty happy. I figure even if I stayed at 2lbs a week, that's 8lbs a month, so in a few months, I'll be looking like my old self, if I can even remember what she looked like haha. The house is stocked with good healthy foods and I've pre-made meals, so I don't have any excuses to fall off the wagon.

Gerry and I took the kids to RIM Park's Halloween Party, what a blast! Here's some pics.

The last week was a good week, but I have to say the last 24 hours have been the most productive for me. I've struggled with trying to keep the main floor of my house tidy and not looking too cluttered, which is very hard with the kids. Finally, I was able to talk Gerry into selling his pool table, so I could make the basement into a comfortable and roomy playland basically.


Part of me feels abit bad about him parting with his table, but with with 4 kids, I really need the space downstairs. To ease this transition for him, I told him that he could have the area that was first the playroom, to make into a workout room, as I know he's always wanted that and it takes up alot less space.


Emma and I brought everything down and today after the movers picked up his table. I finally feel like i've got the house in order, finally. I think this shall keep the kids busy and entertained. They can even ride on their ride on toys.


Here's some pics of the main area, I have to tidy the other half still.

Finally was able to get back into my scrapbooking...although it meant staying up late:) Anyway, here's my latest pages...

The Pumpkin Patch

Sunday was the perfect day to to go to the pumpkin patch. It was so nice and sunny out, so the kids wouldn't be cold. Emma was very excited about going, as she remembers going every year, whereas Abby and Erica didn't have a clue, but Abby kept saying Pumpin Pac, Pumpin Pac while we were getting ready to leave.

The kids all had a blast, Connor fell asleep during the corn maze walk as it took alot longer without the girls in a wagon or stroller this time:) Ya, don't think we'll make that mistake again. Gerry and I were praying that each turn was going to lead to the end.

I took Connor for his 2nd set of pictures today. Wow, it was the easy photoshoot ever. Connor is such a ham smiling away so easily. I can't wait to share all the pics when I get them back October 22nd.

Here's some pics from the pumpkin patch.
