Olympic Torch

The Olympic Torch started running across Canada here in Vancouver Island which was pretty cool. We had the privilege of seeing it run beside us while we were all decked out in our Olympic gear my mom picked up for us the other day.

 

The start of the celebrations

Coke gave us these flags and some really cute Olympic cans of coke.

The spot we decided to pull over in was perfect not too many people around right on the route of the torch.

Here comes the torch!

He actually waved at the kids which made them feel really special.

There it goes.

Halloween 2009

 

 

We carved the pumpkins earlier in the day on Halloween to get the kids excited

This is Katie’s little pumpkin just like her!

 

JJ didn’t really like the pumpkin carving thing. He was really  upset with us when we started cutting the pumpkins he started crying on the floor till we were done and he could see the result. Poor little guy thought we were killing them.

 

My little princess was a sweet Butterfly

JJ took some of the candy from our bowl first. I think it was a practice run

finally leaving our house

 

Look how cute they are!

Jordan did really well he walked the whole way around our little neighbourhood. At the first two houses he hid behind me till he realized what people were giving him. He also picked up on the trick or treat thing but would say it before people would come to the door. One lady who thought he was cute told him to wait while she left to get a special treat and you should have seen JJ he was saying where she go looking around the corner for her. Katie came the whole way too but we put her in the stroller after the first few houses she just walked all over the place and tried to just go in the houses. Our house got over 70 kids which we weren’t expecting. We actually gave out almost all our candy poor Sean wasn’t happy about that.

The finished pumpkins.
