Halloween Fun!!

We decided to carve a pumpkin today! We had lots of fun doing it! I get a chance to carve one each year at work with the kids, but Tim said he hasn't since about grade 5, so away we went! So, since we do this at work each year I brought home a template of a cat home from work. It was actually kinda tough to cut all the details, we often do not give that one to some of the kids because of the low success rate and high temper tantrum rate....that is the kids at work and not Tim. Turned out not too shabby!

Trip to D.C.

Greetings from the capital. We spent today going to the Smithsonian museums (Museum of Natural History and the Air and Space Museum) and most of the major monuments and landmarks around capital hill. Our morning started with a subway ride to downtown. From there, we went past a protest at the Capital building and wandered through the Air and Space museum. There was so much to see there, but we just didn't have time to take it all in. After an expensive meal at McDonalds, we headed for the Smithsonian Castle (visitor's center) and then went to the Museum of Natural History. It was amazing, but we just didn't have time to see it all. After the museums, we looked at many of the historical landmarks we've seen on TV and the movies. The White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, WWII monument, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the Treasury Building... I could go on and on. After a long day of walking, we headed for Union Station and had some supper at a 50's style diner. Eager to sit for awhile, we took the opportunity to go "The Departed" which was playing in the theatre in Union Station. Alas, our day was over, but we saw so many interesting things and did pretty good for 12 hours in D.C.

Canoe Trip September 2006

What a blast, as always. Here are a few highlights. It was also my birthday while we were gone and Tim brought up all sorts of fun things to make me feel special (notice the straws) on my birthday!

Just sayin hey

I like this blog thing. It is really great to hear what everyone is up too. Tim is right we had a great time up north. Tim is also becoming a really skilled canoeist. I would trust him in any rapid any day. It is almost time for Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to flying down on Thursday. I am having girls nights while Tim is gone, which is great, but I still miss him. Anyway, glad to hear from everyone!
