Hallowe'en

 October 31, 2020

There was no trick or treating this year because of Covid-19.  So B, B & G brought a bag of goodies to their place in the afternoon.  The boys were in their costumes - Sam was a Storm Trooper and David was a Ninja.

The boys showed off their decorations in the forest.

They had fun with surprise bag of Hallowe'en treats.

Sam showed off the chickens and an egg.

Everyone enjoyed a neighbourhood hike, then it was pumpkin-carving time.

It was a happy Hallowe'en!

David Turns 8

 Wednesday, October 14, 2020

 
The week of David’s 8^th birthday, Papa was working at home because of COVID-19 performance cancellations at the NAC, Maman had some time off and Samuel was not at school for two weeks as a classmate had tested positive for COVID - Sam was getting home online schooling with his teacher and class.  David, the birthday boy, however, was at school. He took the school bus, without his brother.  So, on his birthday – a colourful fall day, Grandpa, Barbara and Grant drove over to his house to meet his school bus on Wednesday afternoon. David was soon running up the hill, happy to be home.

 

 

Luckily, David’s 2 neighbourhood friends, Ross and Fiona, were able to visit outdoors and at a distance. So he was able to have a small birthday celebration at home. Maman had set up a special treasure hunt for them, including climbing a large tree.

 

 David had a good time opening his presents.  Building toys and vehicles from Grant (Minecraft Lego) and grandparents (Cabella’s trailer set), a building toy from his friends, a new red shirt from Aunt Wanda, and a big surprise, a drone (ages 14 and up!) from his family.

 

 

Then a campfire and birthday cake time…

 

 

As a happy end to the “party” Maman set up the recipe and ingredients to make “Fluffy slime” and the boys got right into making it.  They then had a great time stretching it.  Lots of laughs!  It was a fun end to the party.
