Oct 31 2012 ~Happy Halloween to all our family and friends!!

Can't believe it's Wednesday, let alone Halloween, and yet again can't believe it's the last day of Oct 2012...it's going by so fast, I guess we are keeping busy you could say.

So I didn't write yesterday because it snowed, we just got two inches, so after dropping DS off at the bus, I started on our drive way, 1 1/2 hours later I was done.  The snow was nice and light, and was hard to shovel because of this...I may have to get a bigger snow shovel...  but I definitely had a work out, I was so sweaty that I needed a shower before Zumba.

So after dropping off DD at the bus, I headed for my last day of feeding Kitty, her family was to be home that night.  So I did their driveway as well, it's not as big as ours so it took 1/2 an hour or so...then I headed for Zumba, I was a few seconds late, because of the snow, but I was already warmed up.

After Zumba, I headed for Play it again Sports to get myself some skates, I found a pair for $24.99, I had a pair before, but I think my feet grew after having the kids, so they didn't fit...I didn't get hockey skates, just some figure skates.   I didn't even think about this being the first snow fall, so I had to put the truck into 4x4 a few times at lights...it was also slippery on the on and off ramps....I slide a couple of times....no sure DH is going to drive his car even if it has snow tires....we will see what happens.

So today woke up to -10 c .... I have started saying Canadian instead of Celsius ... =)  so it was 18 F ...it's still that cold...it has been warming up, but I guess not today.  Oh ya yesterday DS and I cleared off an area on the lake, to have an ice rink.  it was really windy yesterday as well so alot of the snow got blown off the ice.  We didn't go skating, and tonight we are heading out trick or treating...so no skating again.  Well DS has hockey tonight, he didn't make the High School Team because of his grades, so he's going to get at that and hopefully he can play next year.

Today I made a Beef Stew click to get recipe, smells good.  I'm not a soup kind of girl, but I have to say here, because it's so cold, (I know wait for it) I find soup helps to warm me....so have to find recipes that the kids and I will like, and maybe DH will start liking more things that look like dog food.. =)

I also carved our pumpkin, it was frozen and told DD I would just clean it out, but it was mushy so I did a quick face and put it back out to freeze again.  I roasted the pumpkin seed, so the kids will like that, Auntie Leanne always does that, and they love sun flower seeds.

I took out some butter ((here I do all baking with butter)( I find the recipes work out that way) to make Auntie Leannes, sugar cookies, so then we can decorate them instead of doing the pumpkin.

Well Have a Happy Halloween, I will take pictures of the kids later,
