This video will be my blog post for today...we just made it through a one year old birthday party...and survived....so this will have to do though...it IS pretty funny however....

Our babysitters pay us!

When most people go out and leave their little angels with a babysitter...
they have to pay for the privledge..
Not so with us.....
They paid us instead!!!!



After all...who could resist the call to have this boy (shriek and all) in their house???
I know I would pay for the pleasure.....



.........Ok....So now the truth.......


We have never left Jeremy with ANYONE EVER...and decided it was high time to adjust the little darling to the idea...

before I snapped.

and taught the boy a shriek HE had never heard before...

So the hubby and I planned to go out for coffee for an hour and leave him with said grandparents
who have been dieing to have him.....

and they paid us for the pleasure.....

OK....Actually they gave Kendal some money and told him to take me somewhere for supper...

This leaves two possibilities open...

Either.....they hoped they were paying us off to leave him there LONGER then an hour...say the whole evening...You know..maybe the restaraunt could mess up our order three times and the meal could take 2 or 3 hours instead of 1....

OR my disposition has been horribly unpleasant, being locked up with only pre-school minds for company five days a week.....and they couldn't stand it anymore.....LOL!



We went to supper at Brewsters.......and had the Seafood Penne...
which was by the way....FANTABULUS.....(is that really a word...)

BUT we were only gone an hour....
Hard to enjoy yourself for long with thoughts like...
Is he crying...
Does he think we abandoned him
floating around in your head...

When we got back to Grandma and Grandpa however....
He was sitting quite quietly in a pile of toys...
babbling away...
I don't think he even realized we had gone anywhere...
Or if he did....he didn't care...
(traitor...)

Thanks for supper Grandma and Grandpa....Maybe we can have a little bit of a life again now once in a while.....

The Year in Review-October

By now Jeremy was nine months old, and my maternity leave was running out pretty fast....We had a plan for what to do after since I was not returning back to work...but it was still in progress...

We moved into our new house in the last weekend of September, and so basically we spent this month in the midst of moving madness....We couldn't find anything...especially me for some reason...I had to keep washing the same pair of jeans for a month straight because I couldn't find the box with my pants in it. (LOL)
We liked our new house even though it was a little smaller...it just gave us an excuse to get rid of a bunch of stuff we didn't really need in the first place...and we LOVE the neighborhood...it is SOOOO quiet...a nice break after Brown st...We have a Huge back yard, but can I say again...how much I DESPISE moving...just in case you didn't quite get it the first time I
mentioned it? Jeepers....I am tired even just thinking about it...

We had barely moved in, and Talon (my grandson) had his first birthday party. Krystal had it at Tots Cafe....A great idea since they can't wreck anything there....

He had a pretty good time, but we practically had to drag him out of a toy truck....very funny...he is a boys boy for sure....

The next weekend we went out to Lumsden for the Pumpkin Festival held at the Corn Maidens Market. Jeremy tried Pumpkin soup, which was a huge sucess...(we have since found out that anything with pumpkin is a HUGE success...he LOVES it...

They had face painting, and a corn maze...and of course LOTS and LOTS of pumpkins...We got some really good pictures...



Other highlites for the month....Jeremy got his first tooth...he stood about three weeks before that (at 8.5 months...)

We also had a birthday dinner for Bree who turned 15 this year. We had it at Thomas Cooks, as that is

where Krystal was working at the time,
and she wanted to buy us all supper...Who am I to argue??




It was a really warm fall...I was wishing we had more time for other stuff then unpacking....BUT that is pretty much what we did for the rest of the month...

I was quaking in fear (and laughter) mostly fear though....this morning when I read this post....called THE TODDLER
over at Sleepless Nights...You really have to read it....It's great! "specially the part about the TODDLER falling into said tub with all clothes on....
AFTER YOU READ MY BLOG......You have to read mine first...cause it is really all about me...
(ROLLS EYES)...and I know where you live...(some of you anyways...)
then leave some sympathetic...or encouraging words for poor mommy over there....

Wordless Wednesday!
