Happy Halloween!

Seems I have a lobster in the house!

My sister went to New Brunswick awhile back and came home with this lobster hat for Leo. It didn't quite fit, but I just turned it around and it does the trick. Yesterday I went to Fabricland to get material for the rest of the costume... total cost: around seven bucks :).

And we can't forget the little one! She's a pumpkin ballerina ;)

Have a great Halloween everyone!

faking the sun

It's pretty depressing to see the forecast for this week - RAIN. Thanks Sandy!

But I do have a bit of reprieve. Outside my window is a gorgeous yellow maple (at least I think it's a maple - arbory [aboristing??] is not one of my strong suits).

Yes that is also a pic of our poor dying cherry blossom tree 

So in the midst of this crazy wind and gloomy skies, I feel like it's sunny out every time I look out the window. Now if only this tree could stay through the long winter...

pumpkins!

Mark brought some pumpkins home last week and got carving Saturday with his little assistant.

Pretty cute! 

We put them on the porch and about an hour later the shifty city squirrels got to one of them, so now the pumpkin on the right has a bit of a wonky eye :).
