Dec 3rd 2012 ~ where's the Choc Count down Calendar??

Good Morning everyone, it's Dec 3rd already, time is just flying by.  We have had cool temperatures but nothing to cold.  (-10c)  I think maybe a bit cooler last week with the wind chill.  We are still managing our 3 inches of snow, the weatherman doesn't seem to know when more will come, they said tomorrow, and I heard today it wont be until the weekend so we will see.

We had another busy weekend, Friday night we went to our friends house for a Poker Party, I didn't play, I mingled with some of the ladies.  DH played poker with the poker players, we had a great time, looking forward to many more parties.  We are loving our time here.

Saturday we didn't do to much, we did have a family day out on the rink (lake) for as long as we could handle the cold.

 Then later, I drove DD to a Bowling sleep over Birthday party, a girl from her hockey team....She had a blast and stayed up to 3am.

Sunday, we had a busy day again, starting with French Toast and Bacon, our family favorite....well I think it's a toss up between French Toast and Eggs Benny....yummy.

We went shopping at the base for groceries, DH was to get a hair cut, took a number, they were on 67 and he was 98 so we went shopping, with DH checking back in and then he missed his number and it was a gong show, so needless to say he didn't get a hair cut, we got a full cart of groceries, with only 3 or 4 things on our list....heading back to the truck, we realized we had not much room, with both kids hockey bags in the truck......DH and DS shopped like two kids in a candy store.... =)  So many things at the store we cant or haven't seen in Canada.

We heading for DS's hockey game, at a really cold rink in town, so cold...of course DH or I didn't have our long johns on....big mistake.  DS got his team jersey finally, he's number 13, didn't think he would ever get his jersey, and get the number he wanted as well.  The boys had a pretty good game, and ended up winning 4-2.

After his game, we decided to hit Taco Bell, one of our favorite fast food restaurants here, I was so cold after eating I went to the truck to wait for the boys to finish eating...I was shivering....=(

Then we head to the arena to meet DD for her hockey practice, I thought it was a game, but ended up being a practice.  We had a fun time talking about different Chocolate bars and other candy we have in Canada, that they don't have here in the USA.  The number one we talk about is ....SMARTIES....
