We never did get to watch this yesterday, like I wanted to, as we were so busy. The kids wanted to watch their new Halloween DVDs I got them. We will be watching it this evening for sure!

Glad you guys had a fun Halloween!!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

We trick-or-treated last night with Elizabeth and some of her younger cousins. Here's the Wilma Flintstone costume that Elizabeth made for herself:

I spent most of the evening impersonating Barney Fife, waving a flashlight trying to slow cars as they sped dangerously through town. Seriously, what are some people thinking? One guy stopped and, with a scowl on his face, said, "Are trying to stop me?" I said, "No, just trying to slow traffic because of all the children trick-or-treating." His demeanor became less severe, and he said, "Oh. Good idea." Then he drove off slowly.

I really need a badge. :smile:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Elizabeth did such an awesome job on her costume!

I commend you for your hard work, Brad. We had just started to trick-or-treat and people driving already had me mad. I mean, I have a 2 and 4 year-old I was trying to handle, by myself, because DH was working, and it was raining, and people are flying down our street. People just don't care. We've talked to the city about them lowering the speed limit, but they won't. All they've done is put up one of those, "Child at Play" signs. I get worried about the kids in the area. People just don't use their heads.

Finally, today is the last day at my (new) job. Yep. I have had to leave already. Despite it only being four weeks, I have had to leave in order to dedicate myself to teaching full-time. I'm not sure if I mentioned earlier, but I got on the supply teachers list with the Upper Canada District School Board, which surrounds Ottawa. I didn't managed to get an interview for the Ottawa school board. The UCDSB requires me to drive about 30-45 minutes to mos thigh schools to supply teach. Apparently, there is plenty of work available, so I must dedicate myself to my profession now that I have finally been given the opportunity! Also, if I supply for three days per week, I'd be making more than a weeks pay at my job here. Not bad!

Have fun helping your friend and good luck with the teaching!!!!

We're counting on you, friend!:!!

Maybe I should have taken one of the middle days!!! LOL!!!!!

I've been working on it and hopefully you all like it.

Good morning MMC!
It's going to be rainy and windy today. The rain isn't coming down at the moment but I am hesitant about going out there for a walk. The dogs do not like the high winds!
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. I had a great time handing candy out. We had about 50 trick or treaters this year. I think we have less and less every year!
I'm so excited that it's November 1st. I can't stop thinking about Thanksgiving. I'm going to start working on my menu plan!
My husband finally decided what car we will be getting. I'm kind of sad to see my truck go but I think I will like the crossover. I will have the new car by tonight.
Not too much planned for me today. Typical day of chores. I need to figure out what I'm going to cook next week and then I will go to the butcher. I'll do the rest of my food shopping tomorrow.
If I have time I will run to Target for a few things too. Maybe I'll check out their Halloween clearance!
I hope everyone is well and has a happy Friday!!!

Do you mind me asking what vehicle you're getting? We have been looking at new ones as well, I am trying to decide on a vehicle like that. I have it narrowed down. Thanks.

watching breakfast TV and they were showing some of Santa s new toys for 2013. At the end of it the host says "Merry Christmas!, it is never to early to spread Christmas cheer!" Hugs go out to Dina for her great Christmas spirit!

That's awesome! Good for her! I love it!

Good morning! Happy Friday! HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!!

I texted my sister this morning with a message that it's Nov. 1st - time to break out the Christmas music! WOO HOO!! Love, love, love it!! Our neighboring town (where she lives) is having "German Family Christmas" this weekend. A lot of shops participate with drawings & specials, etc. There is a craft bazaar tomorrow at the assisted living center. We went a couple years ago & they had really cool things. I'm hoping to make it over there. My favorite coffee shop participates too! I won the coffee tasting contest a couple years ago! Pathetic! :lol:

Our stitch n b*tch went really well last night. I got a lot done on my afghan. I have maybe 6 more inches to go & I can be done - or start the border. Getting excited for my next project already - though I'm not sure what it will be! I have yarn... The tornado warning in the middle of s & b woke everyone up! Thankfully we just had wind & rain & a rumble of thunder! We didn't get to watch Charlie Brown though. I was so bummed. It was on tv but with everyone yakking & the kids running around - it just didn't happen. Now that it's November I'm ready to move on the Thanksgiving/Christmas shows!!

This is our last weekend at the lake. It's bittersweet. I will miss it, but I'm looking forward to NOT having to pack up every Friday after work! Time to settle in for winter. : -)

Both bosses left this morning on an hour trip (each way) - it has been the best Nov. 1st morning ever! Ha ha!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Glad you had fun last night and enjoy your last weekend at the lake!!!

I really like to listen to the Andy Williams Christmas songs. I used to watch his specials that used to come on TV...:smile:

Good morning everyone!

November has arrived. Our calendars have flipped and we're closer than ever to the 2013 Christmas Season! Stores everywhere are beginning their transformation to Christmas. And, like I said yesterday, I am excited to hear when someone posts that they've entered their first Winter Wonderland complete with Christmas music!

It's a very windy first of November morning in Ottawa. Winds were gusting over 60km/40mph this morning. If it were cooler, it would have been quite the blizzard. Instead, temperatures were in the mid teens/upper 50s. Quite high for this time of year, but temperatures should return to normal this weekend.

The weekend is nearly upon us. I have a feeling that it is going to be a busy one. As I mentioned, I will be going to a friend's cottage this evening. Kim, on the other hand, will have to get winter tires put on our car tomorrow. Of course, she wants me to join her, but I was already committed to helping my friend, so she's all alone on that one. I'm sure she'll be fine.

Finally, today is the last day at my (new) job. Yep. I have had to leave already. Despite it only being four weeks, I have had to leave in order to dedicate myself to teaching full-time. I'm not sure if I mentioned earlier, but I got on the supply teachers list with the Upper Canada District School Board, which surrounds Ottawa.

Apparently, there is plenty of work available, so I must dedicate myself to my profession now that I have finally been given the opportunity! Also, if I supply for three days per week, I'd be making more than a weeks pay at my job here. Not bad!

Things are starting to look up. And all is happening just in time as we head toward our favourite time of the year. Have a great Friday, everyone! The weekend is nearly here. And, shortly after, single digits to the Season will follow!

Enjoy your last day of work and your weekend!

Good Morning MMC and Welcome to November!!!! It's going to be a windy overcast day here but the rain is at least gone. Not Much on my agenda for today. Just sitting around this morning and afternoon. Then Christmas movies and hopefully some trick or treaters tonight. I also need to get everything I baked yesterday packed up for the cake walk at the fall festival tomorrow. Well I'm off to amazon to do a little shopping. I think I'm going to download Duck Dynasty's christmas album. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
