End of October already?

It has been a busy few weeks at our house. Well actually our house has been empty for a while, but we've been busy. Too much to blog about at once so I'll give you the coles notes version.

- I ran the Investors Group Thanksgiving 10K over the Thanksgiving long weekend. It was cold, but I did it! My ipod died before my legs did so I had to run the last few kilometers in silence. Thank goodness it didn't give out earlier. Brent and Eli came downtown to watch me cross the finish line and it was so nice to see their faces waiting for me at the end. Now I can check that one off my life's "to do" list! Thanks for all the support, it was so encouraging.

- Eli has started going to a dayhome on Mondays. Ms. Tanya is the lady's name and she is wonderful. Eli gets to hang out with a little girl named Daisy (isn't that the cutest) and play all day long while I get some me time. Needless to say we are both enjoying it.

- Brent and I went to Vegas with Casey and Jaelynn last week. It was a much needed vacation for us. We had a blast (thanks guys!). Did loads of walking, eating, gambling...the usual for Vegas. The highlights were 2 cirque shows, Frank Caliendo comedy show, Titanic and Bodies exhibits and the most amazing dinner at Fiamma resteraunt. Eli stayed home with Grandma K over the weekend and then headed to Baba and Gido's place for the week. He did great with all the grandparents. I think he had a really good time. THANK YOU for taking such good care of Eli and Winston and Paul too.

I think that's pretty much it. Here's a video clip of the comedian we saw in Vegas. So funny!

New Tricks

Eli and Brent are always having fun making wierd noises. It must be a boy thing...

Worlds Best Playdough recipe

Did you know that you can make Playdough at home? It's so easy, and actually really fun to make. It takes no time at all and you know exactly what is in it. Plus it's dirt cheap!!

World's Best Playdough Recipe
1 cup white flour

1/4 cup of salt

2 tsps cream of tartar

1 cup water

1 tbsp oil

2 tsps food colouring

Mix flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium pot. Add water, oil and food colouring. Cook and stir over medium heat. When mixture forms a ball in the pot, turn out and knead on a slightly floured surface. Store in airtight container or plastic bag.

For variety, add Kool-Aid powder to dry ingredients instead of food colouring. It will smell great!
