It's really amazing how fast this month has gone.........
Hard to believe that it's almost the end of October and Halloween!
The boys are doing well.
Hockey is in full swing and we finally have all the boys schedules so now we can figure out which directions we need to go in! Note I said 'directions!!'
Christopher's foot is not causing him any pain. He' s skating well and last game had 2 goals and 2 assists.
We are having homework and test score issues atm with Christopher. Seems he didn't do well on his latest Grammar test and neither did 90% of the class. I was shocked to see his mark, he can do so much better. He's a smart kid, but for some reason he's in la la land....could it because he'll be a teenager in a few months? Yikes!
Jacob's reading is coming along so well! He is a very keen reader and for that I'm thankful!
Nicholas devoured 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' and is now on to book 2 by the same author.
Michael's actually wanting to read novels now which is fantastic. Used to be that we'd say
" Michael pick a book to read(and he has tons!)", and he'd say or do anything to get out of reading. To see and hear him read now is wonderful.
Tomorrow is pumpkin carving day at our house! I had to laugh at Christopher's choice in pumpkins this year.. it's teeny tiny!...He hates the guts of the pumpkins and having to stick his hand into the pumpkin makes him gag! Last year I was laughing so hard at his facial expressions I nearly cried!
Andy started working out again with a personal trainer. I so want to go back to see her too, but am soooooooooooo exhausted at even the thought of a work out. Heck every day around here is a work out.....I've driven over 300 km in the last 4 days..........and that's just in town driving!
Tomorrow is another day...........come to think of it, I'd better get to bed cause tomorrow is only 31 minutes away!

Robo Boot is off.............
Christopher saw the Dr. yesterday and she said he can remove the robo boot now. He is of course thrilled with that! Repeat xray on Friday afternoon, and if all looks good then he can go back to his sports.
Nicholas saw the physio yesterday for tx of his ankle. He has some stretches to do each day and will go in for another physio session next week.
I'm loving this fall weather! Sunny, warm and just beautiful!
We still have to get to the pumpkin patch and start decorating for Halloween, and oh ya, get three of the boys their costumes!
Today was the Gr. 7 Mass. It was lovely. Christopher did a super job with his reading.
Have a little bit of quiet time before picking up the boys, then it's off to music for Nicholas.
Hard to believe that it's already mid October......good grief!
Oh, and the winner of the day was the guy at the dirt bike store....I went in to get a copy of the bill of sale for the gear and bikes that were stolen....and the guy behind the counter (Andrew)says.......
Andrew: " so no word on the bikes yet?
Me: "No, we're just waiting for the insurance money now."
Andrew: " A funny thing... about 2 weeks ago, someone called in who said they were going to buy a bike from some guy on the westside, and the guy suspected the bike was stolen, so he called us(M&M performance) to run the serial number. Sure enough it matched Andy's dirt bike!"
Me: " What? Did you call the police?"
Andrew: " Um, no it's really difficult because we tried to get more information out of the guy, but he wouldn't tell us anymore."
Me: Standing there in disbelief at their stupidity, and wanting to throttle the guy for not giving the police the heads up.
Uugh, makes me crazy!

Hockey Weekend in Abbotsford..........
Michael and I drove to the coast with some other parents yesterday as he had a hockey game at 2 p.m. We won that game 3-0!!
Andy and the other boys arrived last night.
This morning was an early game and we tied that one 3-3.
This afternoon we're going to Gianna's to drop off Christopher and then heading to Michael's other game tonight at 6:30 p.m.
The weather here is fantastic and the boys are enjoying the 80 ft. water slide and pool at the hotel.

Grade 6 Shots!
All the grade 6 students are getting their shots today. Michael was a bit nervous this morning asking how much it was going to hurt. Poor guy, I wish I could be there for him today. No one likes getting shots I know.
The shots they got were for: Hepatitis B and Meningitis

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is upon us and there are so many things to be thankful for....here are just a few:
- I thank God for my wonderful family
- I thank God for their health and happiness
- I thank God for all our wonderful friends
- I thank God that we have plenty of food to eat and clean water to drink
- I thank God that he watches over our family and friends and keeps them safe
- I thank God for the talents and abilities he's given my children
- I thank God for my husband and for loving me
- I thank God that we belong to a faithful and amazing school community
- I thank God that our parents are healthy and participating in our children's lives
Here is one of my favorite Thanksgiving Prayers:
"MY THANKSGIVING PRAYER TO YOU"
My Thanksgiving prayer to you from me;Is for love strong and true that you hold within thee. A heart that beats steady and holds love within; For your brothers and sisters and all creatures by Him. A soul that is worthy of all of His love; That is given to you from the Heavens above. Food on your table that you thank the Lord for; Friends to surround you forever and more. A house filled with love and the light how it shines; Showing all of its beauty till the end of time. Kindness towards others for all of your days; To be returned I pray in many a way. A good job to keep you and pay all your bills; That you spend it all wisely and not on the frills. A family around you that is loving and true; That you all stand together for there are so few. Children to bless you if that is God's will; To cherish and nourish so your life is fulfilled. Dreams of pure beauty as you lay there and sleep; Through the peaceful night when darkness is deep. An angel to guide you through morning and night; To protect you and love you till the end of your plight. And last but most important your love for God will shine through; To the Heavens above for He's waiting for you. Amen and God bless!
First Round of Dr's appts.
Flash back to May when Nicholas sprained his ankle and needed a cast....the cast that fell apart after only one week, and was supposed to have on for 2 weeks.
He went the whole summer not complaining of his ankle and then September comes around and he says....."Mom, I have a numb spot". I took a look at his ankle and it's still a bit swollen, no pain, but numb....so I made an appt. with our Dr. for Oct no less as she's been away.
We also took Michael in with us to get an RX for his excema and to look at his left foot as he's pronating quite a bit lately.
First Michael:

First Michael:
- Got the new Rx
- She had him walk bare foot to see his gait...and he's pronating(turning his ankle inwards)
- Referral to the Orthoped. foot clinic for an assessment and possibly orthotics
Nicholas:
- Still has some pain with manipulation of his ankle
- Noted numbness
- Referral for physio
- Apparently he pronates worse than Michael!
- Referral to the Orthoped. foot clinc for an assessment and possible orthotics and a sports brace for his ankle.
Can you say Ka ching??? $$$ Yikes! Better dealing with it now, rather than later as an adult with problems.........Andy are you reading this?
I've got tons to do today and I'm exhausted. Didn't get to bed till about 1:30 a.m. as I was working on the KMHA website last night, and it kept booting me off! I have scaled back on all the volunteer stuff at school this year, and what does my loving husband do? Signs me up for this duty at the hockey parents meeting! Oh my! I'm hoping it won't be a big task as it's just updating Michael's team info etc.
The other boys are settling into hockey season. Jacob is thrilled to have 10 boys from his school on his team this year!
Nicholas doesn't know anyone on his team :(, and if one more person says....."why is Nicholas here and not playing Sr. Atom" I think I may scream! Ya, he should probably be on the Rep. Team, and ya he got the short end of the stick this year, but what are we to do about it? Make a fuss with the organization? Forget it. I just pray that he has an ok season. He looks WAY out of place out there as he's a good skater and can play all positions and there are kids who can't even skate or make a pass on his team.
Christopher continues to heal and is getting annoyed with his inability to play sports. I actually caught him walking on his foot last night without his robo boot on and I quickly told him that if he did that again, that I'd be reporting to the Dr. about it next Tuesday!
Ok, I have to wrap Jenny's baby shower gift.
