wednesday Al was off, trev was off to school, and tova and i hung out at home.
thursday tova and i went to jodi's house for the daycare halloween party. it was fun but chaotic. tova was belle and then changed in to owelet at jodi's house. we brought a halloween trail mix for snack, they did a craft, played a game and exchanged treats. then home for a rainy, relaxed night since tova was feeling a little under the weather.
friday tova still wasn't feeling great. Al worked until noon, mom came down in the morning, and since tova wasn't feeling the best, mom, trevor, and i headed up north once Al was home. it was the weekend we finally got to celebrate my grama's life and have a little funeral for her on her birthday. once mom got down to our house she informed me that she had just found out she has breast cancer. it was caught really early and it's really small and non-invasive so we're hoping for the best! once trevor, mom and i got up to silver bay we went right to the beach to pick rocks. maren, nick, kai and the 3 girls met up with us there. then we went to the hotel to check in, unpack, and meet up with family in the lobby. we ordered pizza and then let the kids swim until it got there. we had the party room in the hotel so we ate the pizza in there and trevor got to stay up late and play cribbage with a bunch of different people. then we went to bed to read and slept well.
saturday morning tova was feeling better so Al and her headed up. saturday morning a bunch of us walked grama's walking route, kids played on the play ground, we went to the thrift store, went to the agate shop, and trevor and i hiked down to a waterfall/river before heading back to the hotel for lunch and to get ready. we made pb&j's in the hotel room, got ready, al & tova got there at 115, got tova ready then we headed to the service at 2 in grama's favorite color, green! the service was very nice and there were definitely tears. then there was cake and coffee at the church afterwards. then we went to the liquor store/bar for a drink and toast to grama. then back to the hotel for a hot dog bar!! and hang out with the family. we then went in to the party room again to hang out. tova asked to go to bed so Al put her to bed, and a little while later trevor was tired so i brought him up to the room too. after a while in the party room, uncle jimmy, clare, uncle ronnie, tyler, kai, khloe and i went to the bar to have a drink and watch a bit of the hockey game.
sunday morning after breakfast, the kids swam with their cousins and then we bathed them and packed up. we went down to the beach one last time before hitting the road. we got home about 315, all napped or had quiet time, and then got ready for trick or treating. we went to the church near our house for their trunk or treat then did a couple blocks around our house including visiting grandpa peter. then home for supper and the kids loved handing out candy to the other trick or treaters.
monday morning Al was off, trev went to school, tova and i went to jodi's house. during nap time, Al and i raked/swept the whole backyard and Al took a load of leaves to the compost place. after school pickup, i worked out and then we had supper and a quiet night.
