It's a murder, it's a mystery!

It's a murder mystery! Michael and I went out for a super fantastic evening on Friday. It was a Murder Mystery fundraiser for North End Co-Op PreSchoolwhere Sophia goes (and Z went last year). Wow, we had such a goooooood time!! The food was fantastic, the company at our table was fun, and the murder mystery company was excellent! We'll def. do that again I think!

I missed posting JA's birthday

So here are a few photos from her day!

I made this castle cake (thanks for the instructions Mahlah!) It took FIVE 8" square cakes. I used only 4. It was fun, but wow, that was a LOT of cake!





She got lots of great gifts - Polly Pocket Pets, a 20$ gift card from Wal Mart, game, books, a mermaid puzzle, a pack of gum, teddy bear, Bratz doll, and a few other things I cannot recall at this time! LOL!



We had a girly party. The girls all made blue glass bead necklaces, and we made the loot bags. We stamped the fronts and backs (made of cardstock), then stamped a crown and cut it out, then glittered it up! The girls had lots of fun. We served pizza, chocolate milk and of course, LOTS of cake! LOL! The girls each made their own 'circle' pizzas (english muffins!), and Mike kept them all straight so each kid got her own!

So, my baby is 7. Seven?! How did that happen!?! She's in grade two. She's growing up too fast!!

Hallowe'en with the Beaudry's!

Just a few photos of the kids, and our Jack-o-Lanterns. We had a great time trick or treating though!! Lots of good treats (even tho Zachary's can of Orange Crush got a hole in it, and now he's got the cleanest candy this side of the factory!).

JA was a fairy - wore her flower girl dress and pink wings, with glitter around her eyes. (She was already chilly when we left home, so had her coat on for the photo shoot!). Her hair was done up like Barbie in The Island Princess movie.

Zachary was Superman. Mike kept telling him to smile for the photo, and he kept yelling "I AM smiling Daddy!!!" Rolling Eyes at Mike for being so goofy! The mask didn't last long, as it was bugging his eyes, I think it was too close to his face! LOL!

Sophia was Cinderella, also adorned with glitter!



We also carved a couple of pumpkins. JA and Michael scooped them out (I still gotta roast the seeds, YUM!).

JA designed this one (I was telling someone it was a cyclops, and she corrected me "Mommy!! It's only got one eye, remember?!" LOL).



Zachary picked this design. Mike is getting better at his carving every year. A guy down the street is VERY good at it... so we might have a 'carve off' one day! LOL!

He can ride a TWO WHEELER!!

So Zachary learned to ride a two-wheeler this weekend. He's 4 1/2. Oh it was a chore this summer, he just REFUSED to even try!! So when I suggested it on Friday, Michael said "I am taking these training wheels off, and NOT putting them back on!" Well, Zachary just seemed to have ZERO balance. Michael thought he'd never get it. LOL Then he rode about 5 feet on his own before he realized nobody was holding his hood!! :D

So after lunch, he was eager to try again. WOW, he got on, and off he went!! It took a few days to get used to starting himself, but he's a pro now! It's awesome to ride to school to pick up JA, as he is quick as a bunny, and doing so well!

Here are a few photos of him riding, free and clear!







We are so proud!

So, it's my birthday.

Yup. Just my birthday. Nothing special going on today (and nobody really remembered too, which was sad for me). Went to church, had a nap, and we all went to a birthday party for someone else. So I had a meal cooked for me (sadly it wasn't the best I've ever had, catered, so nobody is offended!), and a piece of cake (so no temptation to eat the leftover cake in my fridge!).

Michael bought me a cell phone - a pink flip phone! I have been eyeballing it for many months now. So he saved up and purchased it for me :) What a guy (who is playing with it now! LOL!) Now to get a phone number and whatnot, and we are good to go!!

So, JA had me pegged at 43 for just a moment today... ahem... try switching those numbers sweetie pie! LOL!

This Friday we are going to a murder mystery dinner fundraiser for the pre-school that Sophia goes to. That should be a lot of fun I think! I know the catering that is happening there is fabulous!! :D

So I'm off to scrapbook, since I seem to have found Mo and Jo this weekend! LOL!
