Day 356

Today Ryan had a half day at school, I had to pick something up there, so I was invited to have lunch with the kids. Alex was with me so he got to experience what it would be like at school with all the other kids. He loved it of course. Here he is sitting at one of the tables eating.

Day 352

Today I made a cake for Ryan's school Christmas lunch tomorrow. It's vanilla cake with a raspberry filling. I had the idea for this cake in my head for a few weeks and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Day 339

This morning I made my first deposit as treasurer of my son's Home and School Association.

Day 301

Today I brought the cupcakes to Ryan's school and the teachers said I could stay and help out if I wanted. I had a great time with the kids and even stayed for their surprise lunch (pizza!). Ryan also loved having me there. When I left after lunch I got a big hug and an I love you from him. Awwww!

Here he is doing one of the Pumpkin activities with his friends

Day 300

Tomorrow I'm bringing cupcakes to Ryan's school for their Halloween Party. I can't wait to see all the kiddies in their costumes! I made sure the cupcakes were Halloween themed. I Think the kids will like them :)

Day 299

Wally and I volunteered to carpool for Ryan's school field trip. We brought Alex with us and had room for 3 more kids. It was a quick drive and the kids stayed occupied with a Spongbob Halloween DVD.

The place we went to was called McMaze. We went through a cornfield maze, took a horse wagon ride, and everyone got to pick a pumpkin as well. It was a beautiful, albeit windy day but all in all a great time.

Day 258

I dropped Alex of at the sitters today and spent the day in bed. This cold is killer. I managed to crawl into the shower at one point and took the longest, hottest shower ever. It felt so good! Ryan came home with a little book that the kids put together every year. It lists a few facts, and then asks "Who am I". You then flip the page over to find out.

This is Ryan's page. He writes: 

I like dogs. I like the snow. My favourite colour is blue.

"Who am I?"

It's Ryan!
