Photoshoots...

I know it's been a few weeks since I posted, so I'll try to remember all the things we have been up to lately!

I can not believe we are into November already!! I've been trying really hard to get my Christmas shopping done. I'm almost there! The kids are pretty easy to buy for, so that's always nice.
I took a bunch of pictures of the kids in the backyard last week and I didn't realize until after I had taken all the pictures, that the camera was on the wrong setting and the pictures are a little blurry:( But, we had a fun time anyways...
We got some fall family pictures taken by our friends yesterday. I think they turned out pretty good! At least everyone is looking at the camera!
I helped in Megan's classroom one day last week. I made sugar cookies with 3 of the kids(including Megan). We had a great time and the kids were really well behaved. Megan was VIP the day I helped, so I got to see her be her teacher's big helper. It was SO cute! I forgot to bring my camera:(

The kids LOVE to play in daddy's truck...
Megan had a busy week at school last week, she had pumpkin carving, VIP day, Halloween Party!! She had so much fun. She is really loving school. And, she got invited to her first birthday party for one of the girls in her class. She dressed up as a butterfly for her Halloween party on Friday. All the little kids dressed up at school was pretty cute!!
We went over to our cousins place to do some pumpkin carving one evening last week. We didn't end up doing the pumpkins that night, just because we didn't have enough time. But, we did manage to get a picture with all the 2nd cousins together with Great-grandpa!! They are all 5 years old and under...
And....the kids were SO excited to go out trick or treating for Halloween. Megan and Gabby totally get it and love going around our neighbourhood to get treats!! Marty wasn't too sure what was going on, but he had fun just running around in his costume. I couldn't get enough of the kids in their costume...seriously SOOOO cute!!

A monkey, mouse and ladybug...
We are getting good use of this monkey costume. Megan wore it for 2 years, Gabby wore it for 2 years and now Marty will probably wear it for a couple of years!! I just love it!!

On Friday night, Jeff's parents offered to take our kids for a sleepover:) I know I've said it before, but we are SO blessed to have both sets of grandparents in town to help us with our kids. Thank you so much mom and dad V for blessing us in this way! We went out for dinner and then did some Christmas shopping. We slept in the next morning to 8am...without interruptions, it was wonderful! Then we ran a few errands before picking the kids up at lunch time. Then, that same evening, we went to our friends place for a potluck dinner...so fun!!

We had a really fun, but busy weekend!!! Now we just need to rest a bit this week:)

SUCH cute pictures of the kids, and your family pictures look awesome too! It's always a major success when all the kids look at the camera :)
the costumes are adorable...i always think animal costumes are the best.

Love all of the pictures! I feel like I say this every time but Megs is growing up so fast!

thanks for the post Tan! Such great pics and looks like a very fun Halloween! I loved seeing all the 2nd cousins too--Jeanette's boys were there too right? I'm assuming they're the blondies :) Leanne Dyck
