Halloween

What a busy and fun day!

Before school - Grady was dressed up and excited for the day!

After school - posing with the pumpkin. 

Raphael, the ninja turtle, Superman, and a witch ready for trick or treating. 

My little superheroes. 

Pumpkin carving

Today we carved the huge pumpkin that our neighbour grew for us. Grady cleaned out the seeds and gunk all by himself. He also drew the face. I did the carving and Hunter supervised. It turned out pretty well!

Strong Start

Our school district runs a program called Strong Start where you can drop in and play with your children. Hunter had a lot of fun there today. He loves interacting with the other kids and exploring the new toys. 

Playing hockey

Hunter is so into hockey. It's pretty funny. I think it's from watching Grady play, but whenever he gets his hands on anything that resembles a stick, he uses it to push a ball around. It stopped raining on the weekend so we headed straight outside. The boys were able to have their first road hockey game together!

Hunter's birthday celebrations

Hunter's birthday was spread out over a week, so that we could celebrate with as many people as possible. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family. There was a lot of love for our little boy.

Grady and I made a carrot cake for Hunter's first party.

Happy 1st Birthday Hunter!

Happy 1st birthday to our sweet baby Hunter. We love you so much little buddy.

Fish hatchery

We ride our bikes to the fish hatchery today. The tanks are very full right now. Grady was excited when the fish jumped out of the water. Hunter kept pointing at the fish and saying, "woah"!

Books before bed

A quiet time of the evening when we read stories and talk about our day. 

Our first family bike ride

Hunter opened his birthday present from us a week early ... a bike helmet! Now, we can all go bike riding together. We went on our first family ride today and it was great. Hunter enjoyed it so much that he fell asleep!

Silly putty

Grady made silly putty with his class on Friday. His teacher used it as a science experiment and Grady really enjoyed it. He talked about it so much that we looked up the recipe and made a few batches of our own. The kids had so much fun with it. 

He created an elasomosaurus.
