Horseback Riding week 4

Ethan is doing so well with his riding....I can't believe it. He always has to leaders now and they're trying to teach him to steer and to watch where he's going.

The Blue Mystery Blanket

I haven't posted about the Mystery Blanket in a while, so I thought I would update.

This picture was taken on October 14, 2008. I have 83 rows done and 40 to go.


I really hate to say this but Christmas is fast approaching and with the move I've just been so busy...plus, the blanket is too big now to easily take along with me. I'm afraid I might not get it done in time!

I hope the person is still happy when they get it, even if it is a little late!

GAS!!!!

For the Car!!!!

So I was driving somewhere last night and saw this:


First off: How long has it been since we've seen something below $1???

Secondly: How sad is it that I'm excited that gas is 99cents per liter?? What happened to .60 or .50 or even .40???

Stupid gas, but yay for getting to fill up the van for only $57!!!!!

I Love The World!

I recently saw this commercial for the first time on the Discovery Channel...apparently it's not new, but I sure love it. I watch it every chance I can.

Thanksgiving Monday!

We spent a nice family day together this holiday Monday, it was nice to not be going to stores or sports or anything!!

First we went on some trails near Puslinch Lake. It was actually called Puslinch Tract.

It took us about 45 minutes to walk the short route, but we had the three big kids walking and they had to stop and throw rocks in the water and check out nice fuzzy caterpillars.





Sydney, riding comfortably in the carrier on mommy's tummy, was most amused by all the dogs that walked past us. At the end we actually let her walk a little and she just loved it...was trying to show us everything around her.

In the afternoon, we went to Waterloo Park to look at the animals! Interestingly enough Sydney was most amazed by the squirrels. She was chasing them all over the place.

We were finally able to coax her over to the rabbit cage and she reached in and touched one...you should have heard the squealing that came from her!! She was so excited.

There was a nice couple who had some cut of carrots feeding the animals and they gave one to Syd to feed to the little cow. Syd, not knowing what was expected of her, ate the carrot!! When the couple were leaving the gave the rest of the carrots to us so the kids could feed the animals. Everyone enjoyed that!!!



After some explanation, Syd actually understood too and fed a carrot to the Llama!!
