Trick or Treating '10

Jess invited us all out to her house to go Trick-or-Treating this year. It was a lot of fun and we were so glad that we went. She had lots of cute Halloween things planned for us to do before we headed out trick-or-treating with our wee ones. We made Mummy pizzas and the adults had yummy stew made by my mom. We bought glow sticks for the kids to wear out in the dark. Rain was fore casted for the evening and, as fore casted, it was pretty rainy that evening. We were brave and bundled up anyway. Soon the rain stopped and we kept pretty warm in our costumes. The kids were so cute trick-or-treating. They knocked on lots of doors and tried to remember to say "Thank you". Emry's cute little "treet" at each door was as adorable as her costume. Evan knew all the right phrases, "Trick-or-Treat", "Happy Halloween", and "Thank You"; but he couldn't quite get the order of them down right. Ryan is for sure old-hat at the ripe old age of 5 and the hardest thing for him was slowing down to wait for the younger ones. That and for some strange reason he kept going inside other people's homes. I think he was cold. Anyhow, we had a grand old time and were home before 8:00! Perfect.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
