Story time and then to the Park

We had a fun time at the park but it was a bit tricky to try and get Muddy out of that jeep. All of the rest of the kids at the park were out of luck if they had plans to drive it that day. He didn't even want to eat lunch, he was too busy driving to Florida. Avery and Callum on the other hand were running around like crazy because they kept getting put in the tower by the dragon and a bad guy. Fortunately if one of them was in the tower the other one had a sword handy to slay the dragon and the bad guy and rescue their trapped friend.

Another visit to Finley

I know that Finley looks big enough to be 4 months old but he is only 5 weeks old. We had lots of fun teasing him all weekend long. He is very lovely and good and we enjoyed cuddling with him all weekend long.

My little helpers

We were making icing to decorate a cake for Grandpa Adkins 60th birthday and you can see from the photos what happens when McKinley gets involved. I was really happy with how the cake turned out so I couldn't resist posting a couple of photos.

Happy Halloween

Here are a few shots of the kids in their Halloween costumes. Originally Avery was supposed to be Princess Ariel but she was not cool with wearing warm clothes under the dress (you could see the pants) so we made a last minute switch to her unicorn costume. McKinley was a bulldog. They both had the best time. Avery was focused on getting to as many houses as possible to get lots of candy while McKinley was more social and enjoyed walking into peoples homes and having a conversation.

More Princesses

There is no escaping the Princesses.

More Downtown Disney Photos

We also made a pit stop at Lego Land and I was totally impressed by all the big lego creations on display.

Our fake Disney experience

You don't have to pay an entry fee to go to Downtown Disney and fortunately our kids are too small to know what they are missing and thought it was awesome.

Our Fairytale Princess

So here she is in all the final glory. It was amazing how different she looked without her bangs. She kept the hair in overnight but had a big cry fest the next morning when 'all the sparkles were gone'. It was a major tragedy. I tried to tell her that hair and makeup are always temporary but she was not convinced.

Off to Florida for a Makeover

The only Disney thing we did in Orlando is visit the Bibbitty Bobbitty Boutique at Downtown Disney where Avery had her Fairytale Princess Makeover. She was in heaven and since they gave us the palette of makeup they used she looked beautiful for the rest of the week.

It was the gift that kept on giving.

A definite highlight of the trip.

Balls and Party

The first photo is McKinley at the pumpkin farm in the silo of balls. The next photos are from my friend Tania's baby shower where Avery got to wear her dress from Seamus and Hye Kyoung's wedding.

Pumpkin Patch Adventures

We left Baby Finley and Mommy home for some peace and quiet and headed out to this amazing pumpkin farm in Dundas. We had a fantastic afternoon.
