Pumpkin Surprise

Today we had a little surprise waiting for us on our doorstep.  The pumpkin fairies dropped off one carving pumpkin and two little baby ones.  Thank you Nonna and Nonno!

What a nice way to cheer us up... especially since both kiddies are sick and the weatherman was wrong again.  No sun today.

Baby Bunny has a fake pumpkin in the toy room.  He can't say pumpkin yet but we know his word for pumpkin is "bum bum ba".  He also same "bum bum ba" when he wants us to read Hop on Pop.  It sounds slightly different so only we know what he's trying to say.  He's really trying to catch up to big brother.  He can say ball, spoon, socks, ma, da and understands so much.

Practicing for Halloween

We love Halloween and even more so now that we have kids.
Cheeky Monkey was Superman/baby for his first Halloween and a Toronto Police Officer last year.   

We picked up this scary guy at our local Walmart.  

Practicing for the big day.  This is the first year that he'll be big enough to climb the stairs on his own and say "Trick or Treat!".
 

I guess I better hurry up and start sewing his costume

My City: Ontario Science Centre

This week we went to the Science Centre.  After going to Science Class, Cheeky Monkey was really excited to be going to the Science Centre.

Lots of cool things to read about and touch on the way in

GPS station - definitely wasn't an exhibit when I was growing up

Some very old trees!

The Weston Innovation Centre is really cool for kids.  Baby Bunny and I took a picture and it was "painted" on the big screen below.  The kids were in LOVE with the machine that shoots up little pieces of paper.  I'm sure there's a more scientific name for this thing...

Special exhibit
















One of these guys is named Fred

In the old Science Arcade

Can you open the gate?

Tornado!

I love this little car @ KidsPark

















Because the kids love to go grocery shopping at their height level.  The only rule is that you have to put the food back.  Feel free to put on an apron and get behind the register.  The kids can punch in how much food should cost and the register drawer actually opens.  Lots of fun here until a gaggle of bigger kids showed up.  Baby Bunny is really oblivious to all but Cheeky Monkey noticed the kids.

Future of Food?

Where we would be without one of these machines?


Maybe it's better not knowing...
