October

I have been such a neglectful blogger. I find it so hard to keep up with it at times, and I have been just as neglectful keeping up with others. I need to put google reader back up, that would help me.

October has gone by so quickly. It's been a terrific month, with gorgeous weather. Thanksgiving weekend was amazing, with +20 temps. We took the kids to Wonderland on Sunday since the weather was so great. Monday was also warm, so I popped the turkey in the oven, and we went off to the pumpkin patch for our annual visit. We had fun in the patch, and in the corn maze. Here are some pics of our day.

Design Team Reveal

Oh I am such a bad blogger lately. Well I finally found some time to scrap. This is the kit I was working with for Two Scrapbook Friends. Gorgeous papers, and I loved using the first day of school pics for some of it. If you want to see what the other amazing ladies at Two Friends did, check out the gallery.

Memories of summer

Rarely a day goes by when I don't think about our fabulous summer vacation in PEI and Nova Scotia. We had the best time, and made some amazing memories. I digi scrapped this layout of some pics of the kids on Cavendish beach, PEI. Can't wait to go back!!

Design team reveal

I had to work fast with this kit, as I was on holidays for most of July. I used Echo Park Sweet Summertime, and it was fun to use some of my holiday pictures with it. The last item I used something I have had for a while, it is a big wooden plaque divided into sections, and can be hung on the wall. I decided to use the first day of school pics from 2009. It isn't quite finished yet, but you get the idea.

Peggy's Cove pics

So after we left PEI, we went to Nova Scotia. My fav day was Peggy's Cove. Here are some pics. I just had to touch the ocean. This pic is Derek helping me up from the slippery rocks.

Here is where I put my foot in the ocean, but got more than I bargained for when a big wave came up and got me all the way up to my waist! You can see the surprised look on my face.

The family with the mist and waves all around us. Such a cool place!
My favourite family shot. This is still at Peggy's Cove, you can see the ocean behind us.

More vacation pics

Here are the kids having a blast at Chelton beach, Prince Edward Island. They loved the warm water of the Northumberland Strait.

This is a pic of them at Cavendish beach. This body of water is the Gulf of St Lawrence. freezing cold, but much calmer.
