Wiggles, Rain and other Bits and Bobs...

Unbelievable...we're into mid-October already! I haven't posted in a while. It's been busy and I haven't seem to find the time to sit down. Well, I'm here now and I won't bother recapping on the last month. So what's new? The Vancouver fall rain has arrived. We were starting to forget. It rains here...a lot. Fortunately, I like the rain. Or at least I like the rain when the temperatures aren't too cold. Mark has just taken the kids to the woods to splash like crazy in muddy puddles.

A highlight of last week was taking the kids to see the Wiggles. It was a fantastic kid's concert and they really enjoyed it. Bronwyn started dancing and brought out some crazy moves. She was doing a kind of break-dance routine...hilarious! We worried a little about River and how he would be - but he was completely captivated. The Wiggles are really the consummate children's entertainers. We were thoroughly impressed and have a new found respect for what they do. Here's a couple of pics...

River, watching in awe.

They incorporated some gymnastics, which was fun. Anthony and the Captain are pretty strong!

And here's a cute one of the kids and their dad.

It was Thanksgiving weekend here, last weekend. Trini and Lorne cooked a wonderful feast. Did I get pictures? Of course not! They invited some other friends over with kids and the kids played while the adults talked. Lots of food, drink and noise...like get togethers that I remember as a kid, but that are all to infrequent now. It was a lot of fun. I won't mention Trini's yorkshire pudding...let's just say she can stop up any leaks and drafts with what is left over..but overall it was a lovely meal.
