Little Noah had a hoot tonight. It was his first official active trick or treating halloween. The mask didn’t scare him, he just ROARED at anyone with a scary out fit.

He got and ate A LOT of loot. It’s was pretty cute.

Brendan did a few more houses after Noah retired to the stroller and then he too was ready to pack it in.

He is the ONLY child I know that comes in from trick or treating and immediately runs to the washroom to brush his teeth before even looking at his booty!

In other news, Chris and I almost killed a child tonight. Remember the egyptian princess? Well he came with us tonight. Good lord. First off he went house to house saying “trick or treat put it in the bag.” and then later he would say “I can’t have that kind, I am allergic to red dye it makes me jiggly”. Also he had this tin foil covered bucket on his head (he was knight of co
urse) and we would say “Come on your majesty we’re going this way now” and he would continue obliviously down the street in the wrong direction. And after about 7 houses he began to include “can this be the last house” “May I please go home now” after every treat was deposited into his bag.
What are ya gonna go?

The Fantasy……. October 30 2004

The Fantasy: A candle lit dinner for two. Decedant dessert. Red wine and a cozy night together (if you know what I’m sayin)
The Reality:
Nachos on the couch watching a REALLY bad movie with an exhausted husband that’s been up with a wacky teething toddler since 4am and an exhausted menstral wife that ran 21k at 7am on 4 hrs sleep and has not napped.

I would even begin to tell you about the no show babysitter.

Come ON over!

Ok, that sites up.
I’ve made a post.
I really like it over there.

I’m having some troubles importing my archives…but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

Come on over!!!

Welcome

Welcome to my new place. I’m still sort of unpacking and organizing but for now this is it!

I was eager to change the look of it, but I like the simplicity of this. Thought I would enjoying a runner or two…but then who wouldn’t?
heh.

21k HILLY HILLY training run in the darkness of the early morning. This would be the third time in my life I have done that distance. The first being this very same route about 4 weeks before my half marathon. The second being the race itself.
This time? I did it (not a race pace either but you know hard enough) 10 minutes quicker than my first attempt at this course and bang on the same time for my half marathon.
Which you’d think would not be so much of an improvement right?
Well the half marathon in St Catherines was dead flat. This is rolling mountains hills, with some pretty big ones right at the end.
Also noticed today that I am not nearly as exhausted as I was on my other two times. I had energy right till the end, though that last hill almost had me.

That’s my story.

So welcome…I will be adding stuff here and there as we go. You can totally expect Halloween pictures tomorrow.
