Let it SNOW, let it SNOW, let it SNOW!!!

Can you tell I am totally stoked about the snow? Yes, I know I am in Kelowna, BC and everyone here is hating it right now...but I'm a prairie girl at heart and I love it! It's begining to look a lot like Christmas :)

I started snowing today around noon and it hasn't stopped. I took some pics just before 9pm and then the boys decided to go outside and play in it. I got some awesome shots and can't wait to scrapbook them :) The boys have plans to be outside playing in the snow all day tomorrow so I hope it is nice out for them. More pics.....whooohooo!

What happened to the riders?

Well, it is quite evident that the Riders left their game at home...or somewhere...hey, has anyone seen the Riders' mojo? Oh well, guess there is always next year. GO RIDERS!!!!

Go Riders!

The Riders are playing the BC Lions today for the Western Final (CFL). The Riders are the underdogs but they were last week against Calgary and won so here's crossing your fingers for another win :) Go, Riders, Go!

Football

The boys (Kelowna Sharks) played an amazing semi-final game against the Kelowna Vipers yesterday to win 36-6...our first and only win of the season! They played the final this morning against the Vernon Blue Bombers and we lost 26-12. It was a difficult loss for the kids b/c they knew a lot of the problems were from poor calls by the refs (a problem for both of the Kelowna teams playing against Vernon this season). It was also disappointing that the field wasn't set up properly especially since it was a final game (no lines, etc) and there was no one there from the Board of Directors to talk to the kids and congratulate the winning team. They don't even know where the championship trophy is from last year....not very organized but par for the course this year. Kip will be talking to the President of the league about having it run better next year...which will probably mean more work for him like with flag football....lol.

I will post pics when they are developed :)

Trick or Treat

We carved pumpkins a few days before Halloween and the boys each had a pumpkin from school as well. They cleaned out the pumpkins and drew out their designs and I did the actual carving. Patrick had a dead pumpkin that had been shot between the eyes and Eric's pumpkin was more of a funny one with flaming eyes.



The boys had a great time trick or treating this year and they came home with a huge haul of candy. Eric had a blast and hit every house with a porch light on...lol. They even ventured into the "Haunted House" down the street. Eric was dressed as Jason Vorheese from Friday the 13th and Patrick was an Orc from The Lord of the Rings. Patrick's friend Victor came with us and he was dressed as Jester off the Socom video game. We had a lot of kids come to our house which was a nice change from past years when we lived in more remote neighborhoods.


I also had a chance to decorate the front yard a bit more b/c of the good neighborhood as well. This year we buried Mr. Bones under some leaves to make it look like a graveyard.
