Halloween was busy busy but great! We went to a Halloween party at a friend's house in Champion after school. Then Caeleb went trick or treating in town with some friends. We picked him up and then went to 12 neighbors' houses which is always a highlight of the year. Elva was Cosette from Les Mis and sang Castle on a Cloud to most of the neighbors. She did so good. She is a little actress. Caeleb was a dinosaur for the 2nd year in a row and so were some of his friends. Mary was a unicorn like last year, and she was a ghost at the Primary party on Saturday. Nana made that costume. Selman finally settled on Mr. incredible, and Lizzy was a fairy - she picked out her costume at the Salvation Army store in High River on Friday when I took the kids for eye appointments. The night was nice - no snow. And we covered all the standard Halloween movies in the month of October. I love little scary movies. It was a good month. I love the Fall!
It snowed on Wednesday. Quite the blizzard really and I was surprised school was not cancelled. Mary stayed home with Selman, Lizzy and I but Caeleb and Elva braved the weather. I worked 3 evenings of the weekend and am slowly getting used to winter driving. I got to stay home all day today. I got to go out to the barn three times to feed the chickens and cats and feed our horse and two ponies in the crisp winter air. Yep, we got a horse for Elva for her early birthday gift. A tall white 20 year old thoroughbred gentle motherly mare who is retiring on the farm. The ponies follow her around like she is their mom. I love to be out with the animals. I had a nap today with Lizzy. And watched Beauty and the Beast with Selman and Lizzy. And I love the snow when there is nowhere to go. The moon is out, the air is crisp. It was a good day. And I think I am ready for winter.
