Here are some pictures from Halloween at our house!
Miss Casey in her costume! She was the cutest pumpkin ever!
The girls on the front porch!
Its hard to see but Reg and Roxy attempted to do a Labrador sillouette on the pumpkin... it looked much better in person, the picture doesn't capture it well.
aw! a girl and her puppy!
Our schedule continues to be busy... here are some highlights of the upcoming weeks!
This weekend is "light up Okotoks" Roxy and I went last year and had a great time! Basically it is a kick off to the Christmas season. It is on Friday night and takes over downtown Okotoks. All retailers stay open late and have 'freebies' to give out (Hot Chocolate and Cookies are the most common). There are open fires on the street to keep everyone warm, Christmas music playing, live Reindeer and horse drawn wagon rides and closes out with a huge fireworks display. Santa makes an appearance but Roxy is clearly too cool to stand in line to sit on his lap... but, on Saturday at the leash free park there will be pictures for pets with Santa - so we may get a picture with Santa afterall!
Saturday night we are going over to a friends' house for dinner - not sure what I am going to take... I am thinking of making my traditional batch of Nuts and Bolts early just so I have something to take... hmmm... Ideas anyone?
Sunday is the usual Cheer marathon practice (4 hours) but I think I might sneak out and head to the Christmas Market at Spruce Meadows. I went last year but didnt have enough time to really spend and enjoy it - it is absolutely HUGE. I am not sure if you have heard or not... but New Moon is in the theatre this weekend. Roxy and I are dying to see it! I refuse to go on opening night but think on Sunday we may go after cheer is over.
The following weekend is also a busy weekend for us...
On Saturday Roxy will be in the Grey Cup Parade (check your local listings; I have heard that it will be televised Nationally) and look for the Calgary Pythons. We are hoping that it wont be too freezing cold!
At night we all are going to the Grey Cup Festival Concert - there are 5 Canadian bands playing and Great Big Sea is the headliner. It will be an awesome night for sure. Calgary loves their team and with any luck they will be playing in the Grey Cup at home.
Sunday will be the standard Cheer practice and I think will be the start of baking for the Holiday's for me. I want to get it all done before the first weekend in December. I am not sure if I can be that efficient!
Well that about sums up life here in the wild west for this week. I will try to get posting more frequently, perhaps I can sneak one in from work? Hmmmm....
take care everyone!
