Temperance Street Times

Although we didn’t get much snow in Saskatoon until Late January, when it did start falling it was beautiful and of course awesome for skiing on.  Thomas took  a liking to his cross country skis and we got out a couple times all together…However dad had his work cut out for him later in the day!

In Mid February we headed down to Boston.  Fortunately we had a big dump of snow shortly after our arrival and Lola and Thomas went to work…Later that week Phil offered up a free hockey lesson on Spy Pond out his new backdoor. Thomas fared marginally better than Nathaniel…

Well the highlights of January mostly included a couple Birthday parties.  Nathaniel turned 1 on January 1st and Thomas turned 3 on January 16th. Nathaniel developed a new found lust for cake and table dancing, while the cat took a liking to one of the gifts! Other than that we mostly just hunkered down and tried to stay warm!

Cream Cheese!  Otherwise its all just been the usual scene at this end…

Nathaniel’s first Halloween!  What fun.  He opted to dress up as ‘BatBi’ – aka Bat Baby.  Yes recycling Thomas’ first costume, but there was one big difference.  Nathaniel is walking.  Thomas was not.  A whole different BatBi emerged this year.  For example,  there was a Fridge caper midday. ‘Grapes?  No I don’t have any grapes in my mouth…’ As always click on the thumbnail to see a full size version of the pics.

Thomas on the other hand put together a great Fireman Thomas costume.  With all the fixings including an axe, walkie talkie, fire extinguisher, hat, flashlight, and even his own fire engine… I’ll have to come up with more cost effective costumes in the future!!

As we were walking out the door to go trick or treating, Thomas suddenly says ‘Mom where’s your costume?’ ‘Why aren’t you wearing it?”.  Thus I was forced to run upstairs and improvise something quickly yielding a somewhat ‘frazzled’ looking witch.  I thought the baggy long underwear was especially effective! Imbaw stayed home and gave out candy – we had a total of 27 kids.  Too much snow and H1N1.  We hit a total of 7 houses and that was it – home and straight to bed…Imbaw and I stayed up and watched ‘Twilight’ the movie.  It was cute – and not too scary for me!
