Incredible True Story

Supper was nearly complete and Shawn and I were trying to figure out who had already set the table since it was Ella's week and she usually requires assistance.

It was discovered that Taylor had set the table immediately after getting home from school!! Not his week, no one had asked, cajoled, or threatened him to do anything!!

This was a few weeks ago and I'm still incredulous!

Church Art

Taylor's latest church creation (2 weeks ago):

The "dialogue" starts at the bottom:

Dad: I have a fat hed. (I am pretty sure this comment is due only to Taylor's artistic abilities and not specific paternal insult.)

Mom: Aaa! Wut did you do?


Averi:  I did nufin!

Taylor:  It wus Ella!

Ella:  No, it wus Taylor!

Ah, family life!  ;)

Shawn's News

We've already told half the world, but Shawn passed all his provincial and national exams!! No more school, no more tests! Just needs to finish his 4th-year hours, and he'll be an official red seal journeyman!

Thank goodness.

Ella's Haircut

It was time to lop off Ella's scraggly locks. I am quite partial to the inverted bob:

Ella loves the limelight!

Sweet, soffy girl...

Halloween

It worked out that I never got a photograph of all the children in their costumes. Taylor went as a tradesman in Daddy's safety vest and hard hat. Averi went in the same owl costume as last year. It's so big, it will probably fit her next year, as well! And, Ella, went as little miss devil, a perfect fit if I ever saw one. ;)

Ella reminds me of my brother Jason's girls here!

I didn't get a picture of the pumpkin, either, but it was a devil, too!
