Halloween in Whitehorse

Trick or Treat!

Hallowe'en was a huge success... Kate was a witch and Mira was a vampire. Kate is home now, marveling at her loot and Mira is still out braving a remarkably cold wind but NO SNOW and no really cold temperatures... she is going for the full bags.

Kate and one of our pumpkins.

Kate preparing to head out for trick or treating...

All dressed up.

Mira as a vampire.

Sharon as a Deputy... hey they shot the sheriff but they did NOT shoot the deputy,,, thought it was a safer costume.

Cheers to all.
Get well soon Mom.

Love Sharon

Construction is character building...?

Hi all... we are deep in construction mode or rather, it is Paul who is deep the hole. The weather is being very kind to us as we try to keep warm with our new ventilation issues. The addition is moving along and we have already made a few design changes but we can do that. :) The neighbours all slow to a crawl as they pass our house to check out our adventures.

The living room - Kate is not watching tv but she could be.

Mira is keeping warm in her own way... wearing Grandma's coat inside! Seriously, with the fire going, it gets to a balmy 22 degrees upstairs and we are all snug as a bug. The addition is mostly outside right now and will be closed in soon enough. We are all happy to see the progress.


Kate in the winter spirit.

We are all looking forward to Halloween! At least the kids are. I got the last two pumpkins in the store - they look like the last two pumpkins in the store too. We will have to be creative! I think Kate and Mira are settled on their costumes but mom needs help. Let me know if you have any ideas - looking for high impact - low organization, sewing and buying.. ha, there is a challenge for you!

Happy days to all of you. cheers. sharon
