It's been a while

Tonight we put up our Christmas tree, so I guess Halloween is over and I should add another post. I was up in Edmonton for the past two weeks at a training conference for work. It was interesting stuff but I really missed Heather and the kids. And even worse than being away, was coming home and seeing just how well everyone was doing without me! I'm sure that they missed me though.

We had some computer problems yesterday and I was really frustrated with the whole thing. It turns out that Shaw was just acting up, but for a while I was worried that we had a virus. The incident caused Heather and I to examine just how much we 'need' the Internet at home. Besides emailing family (and this awesome blog), there isn't really anything productive that we do with it. We have been debating whether or not we should cancel our Internet service, for a while at least. I think it might force us to write letters - on paper - and send them to our loved ones through the mail. It sounds kind of old fashioned but it might be fun.
It is late and I should sign off; I just spent the last hour playing video games online with my home teacher and one of my buddies growing up.
But I don't know if that is an argument for, or against, having the Internet : )

The scariest squash you've ever seen...

Because we put things off until the last minute, there were no pumpkins left at any of the stores. I was so desperate, I had a honey dew melon in my hand until I came across this fellow. They say that an artist can see the masterpiece on the blank canvas even before he starts. I think that is how it was with me, because I could see a face on this butternut squash as it sat leaning against a sweet potato. It took a long time to carve because I couldn't fit my hand inside it (Heather did the scooping). Ella and Mason seemed excited but Tyson was actually afraid of it. When it was in the house, Tyson would cover his eyes and back away. Until I set it on the front step, he would peek around corners at it and whisper, "scared", and even cried when I first lit the candle.



After supper the kids got into their costumes and we headed out. I took them up and down half of our street and then Heather took them the rest of the way. I was proud of Ella and Mason for always saying 'thank you' after receiving their candy.





As you can imagine, it was not a good night to be out if you have a serious pumpkin phobia, and Tyson had me hold his hand at any house with a jack o'lantern too near the front door. Aside from that, the kids all had fun and are still eating their candy.
