The After Math.

This is what is meant by counting all the different types of Candies you received on Halloween. I remember doing this religiously as a kid. Four Kit Kats, 3 Wunderbars, 2 Bags of Chips, 7 Lollipops. My kids are not there yet. They are just buried under these massive piles of candy.Currently, they are trying to decide which two candies they are going to have today. This is the rule in our house. I may have commented on it before. A child is allowed two candies a day until the end of time. Or till their dad surreptitiously eats half of it over the course of three late nights and one Sunday when the kids go to the park for an hour. Seriously though we will be regifting some at christmas. I am coming around to this new Halloween rule. The "Gorge yourself for four days and then throw any leftovers out" rule (I don't think we ever actually followed this rule to be clear) somehow seems very Scottish to me. If you are going to do something bad do it to the max so that you feel horrible for having done it and repent. Seriously a crazy haul. I can't imagine what their friends who had pillow cases, a driver and a mission hauled in. When we saw them the cases were half full and the kids weren't flagging. We on the other hand were already done.

Turns out he will crawl for candy.

Post Hallowe'en Post

Well due to popular demand (hey one comment must mean there are thousands of the silent masses yearning for their piece of the action) here is a super man snap and a short video. Just pretend like they were taken last night and we can all go to bed happy.

As for tonights dinner we have yet to sit down to it. I was Supper man and made myself a bowl of chilli but is has been a stay at home, not do to much day. Pay no attention to my daughters massive bag of candy sitting open next to my meal. Honest, I was good. In other news, we had a cord of wood, or at least most of it, dropped off this morning. Then we went to the bank and bought some spongebob noodles and some bob the builder noodles for lunch. Kids choice. I made a veggy potato dish but in my haste it didn't turn out that well. The wife brought home so baked goods from work and now we are contemplating going out for a video or two. hh Saturday night.

Candy Man.

Well we did our the usual tour of the neighbourhood this evening and the kidlets are now reaping the rewards of not having other little kids living around us. We were greeted with not just handfuls but sometimes small bag fulls of candy. Every year there is a bonfire and fireworks on Halloween here in town. Some people donate money to put it on and then they get a coupon that they can post in their window. The coupon means, "I paid at the office," so you don't go up to those houses. Two of our direct neighbours have those coupons but we still go there anyways. These neighbours make a special compensation for our two little ones. It is a nice warm feeling. We really do live here. Four years in and it is starting to feel like home.You may be wondering about last night's blog. Well I was out with the boys carousing and I gotta say I feel a lot worse for wear today. I felt like total crap this morning. But it was a good night.

The other big activity today was driving over the pass to meet our Midwife. We met her. She was nice. She told us all about everything. We asked some questions. The kids got to use the baby heart rate hearing thing. Everyone got to try it on their own chest. It was quite a different feel then going to a doctor. I think its going to be good. The drive is only an hour and a half. February is a tough time of year to make the drive but that's life. Everything is going well so far.
