Music, Derek's 40th, Verkley picnic, Hockey and skating, school, Halloween, Nathan's birthday and Hometown hockey OH MY...
Both kids have started music lessons. Easton on the guitar and Hadley on the piano (keyboard). Easton can now play wild things by the Troggs fairly well after only a month of lessons, and Hadley just started last week and is on her way to playing Merrily we roll along also known as Mary had a little lamb. I was fortunate to find teachers that come to our house. It is a beautiful thing! I can hear and watch them while prepping dinner, or other things. Plus then I know how to help them practice throughout the week.
We went to celebrate Brian's friend Derek's 40th birthday. It was fun to watch Brian with his public school friends.
The next day was a Verkley picnic at Brian's aunt Maria's. These are always fun. So much food and people to catch up with.
While there is the regular hockey and skating for Easton and Hadley, we also signed Hadley up for First Shift Hockey. She get's 8 weeks of hockey and all equipments made by Bauer is included. The catch is that it is only for kids that have never played hockey before, so Easton couldn't do it. However, he will get her hand me down equipment when he grows.
There was a potluck at the school for all the lunch supervisors which was fun and the food was fantastic.
I volunteered to help Hadley's class make apple crisp. There were apples everywhere and the kids peeled, sliced and mixed while I helped with the oven. MMMmmmmm.
The breakfast program is going strong at the school. Twice a week we serve bins to all the classrooms with 3-4 food groups to choose from.
We managed to fit in a visit to the zoo with the kids in costume for Boo at the Zoo as well as a fun event at the Greenwood community centre where there were crafts and games for the kids. Hadley was Anna from the movie Frozen and Easton was Captain America. This year I was a cat and Brian felt that Captain Canada needed to make an appearance, so he wore all the Canadian gear he could find and carried around a hockey stick while trick or treating.
We had a Halloween dance at the school which was a lot of fun!
I volunteered in Easton's class on Halloween so that stations of fun could happen.
Easton's friend Nathan had his 7th birthday party which was a NERF party. The kids had an amazing time!
