November?

It has been so long since I posted that I don't even know where to begin. Congrats to Bonnie & Cam & Kelsey on expecting a new baby. The pressure is on for a boy, but girls are just as fun! We have been having the most amazing weather. Sunday it was 14 degrees, Monday was warmer and yesterday was 17 degrees. Lots of the trees are even still green. Hopefully this is a sign of a mild winter. This is day 3 of finishing our basement. It coming a long pretty good. The subfloor is down and some of the studs for the walls are up. On Friday I am going to Portland, Maine for our annual girls shopping weekend. Can't wait. This year we are staying until Sunday. 2 whole days to shop and eat!!! Halloween was fun. Lauryn was a princess and Brooke was a cowgirl. We went to a few neighbours then to our friend Julie's house for a little party that we do every year instead of taking the kids all over town. Who needs that much candy? Last Saturday some friends and their kids came over to carve pumpkins. I hadn't done that since I can remember. Maybe I never carved a pumpkin? I don't know. Anyway, Brooke missed it because she went to Nova Scotia over night with mom to see her mom.(My grandmother) Lauryn had a sleepover at Ben's house on Friday night and Brooke was away with mom so it was the quietest this house has ever been. Warren & I were watching a movie and everytime it got loud I kept reaching for the remote to turn it down, but then realized I didn't have to. It like driving alone and you still keep looking in the rearview mirror to check the kids! Warren played hockey Saturday night. They won 2-1. Warren took the kids to Kings Kids tonight. He had to drive the bus, so the kids like to go. Lauryn is doing good in school. Report cards come out on the 18th. I hear the kids coming, gotta go do bedtime and I'm ashamed to say, watch One Tree Hill. Night.
