Halloween 2007

Whew, all the kids are gone, Daddy's on candy duty, first time I've done this in a few years. Here's Andrew in his Garfield costume.






Andrew and his friend Tyler (and little sister) from across the street, his costume has light on it so this picture would have been better without the flash.






Laura in her Pocohantas outfit, not liking the picture...






...but okay with it when her friend Katti got into the picture!






So I can't believe this, but I just sent Laura and Katti out to wander the streets by themselves, at least I gave them a cell phone to call home if anything "happens". So a couple of firsts for the Taylor parents tonight: one sending out my daughter on her own (sort of) at night and giving the sole use of our cell phone. Yikes!

Our friends Mike & Julie stopped by with Marcus, the baby hotdog - too cute! The dinosaur is our halloween treat for Marcus because he's too young for candy.

A fun Saturday!

Well, didn't think this day would turn out much but it actually turns out to be quite busy! Last night we found out we'd be getting baby Marcus for the day. He's always a treat, we've had him a few times. What a joy he was this morning, but just as Lisa took him out to get some stuff at Wal-Mart he started bawling. Bad timing for Lisa, good timing for me. We can't go with her, as you'll see in the second picture!

Here's Andrew giving him his first bottle, he does a good job of this.

Laura got home at noon from a sleepover that started at 4 yesterday afternoon. She and two other girls decided it was in their best interests to stay up all night. We told her to go to bed when she got home and of course she whined saying she can't sleep during the day. 7 minutes after she reluctantly agreed to go have a nap Andrew came upstairs and told us she was sawing logs!!

A friend from church has a Moose Jaw Warriors season ticket which he can't use tonight so I'm going to cheer on our home town team, that are on a 6 game winning streak, but before that a salesman from an audio visual place in Regina who lives here in town is bringing over a few wireless mic systems for us to try out (see pic of the cool ear worn mic below). Ours at church is 13 years old and starting to go, so this is a good time to take the next step. So along with Laura sleeping and waiting for this guy to show up, I'm stranded here. Hope Marcus is being good for Lisa!!

Football Fun in the backyard

Try and get by me Andrew!!! It's nice I'm able to do a bit of physical running like this now.

Wacky Hair Day

Yep, Wacky Hair Day at school today so we found some "cheap" Halloween Hair Guck. Here's the results in the morning!

And here's a pic of Andrew washing it out at nighttime, couldn't resist taking the pic, even though he was concerned I was taking a picture of his bum!

The first win

After two losses to open the season, the Cornerstone "A" Girls Volleyball Falcons team had their first win tonight. After a heartbreaking first set loss where they were up 24-18 we lost the second set to go down 2-o. But then they came back to take the final three sets to win the game. Laura played well, at one point getting 5 points in a row serving and had some really nice plays as well. The team seems to be gelling well and we look forward to playing Caronport next week, where Briercrest College and Seminary is.

Morality and high class drama, all in one.

Laura made up and acted in this one person play on stealing, enjoy, we think she has a great future on... Corner Gas!
