Horseback Riding

One of Brad and Tannis's favorite activities is "Riding the Horse" down the hall... you can see why! (And yes, Tannis is still trying on Halloween costumes... that one is Brad's Dalmation costume from 3 years ago).

Halloween Preview

Brad and Tannis are already getting excited about Halloween... this is them trying on their old costumes... Tannis wore the Piglet costume last year, and Brad wore the Tigger costume 2 years ago... they both still fit! Tannis says she wants to go as "The Rabbit" again this year. We keep telling her it's Piglet, and she says, "No! Rabbit! See... Big Ears!!" Brad wants to go as some kind of Superhero or action figure.

Almost...

Brad, Tannis, and I all got food poisoning from something we ate at a playgroup earlier this week. It was the first time in a long time that Tannis threw up and she was frightened. Now every time she burps, she announces matter-of-factly, "Almost threw up..."

Missing Daddy

Now that Colin has a new job, he has a new schedule as well... and gets home at night instead of in the afternoon. The kids aren't used to him being gone all day long, and now when he comes home, the first thing Tannis says to him is, "Missed you all day long!"

Brad the Astronomer

Today Brad and Tannis were running around Colin in circles, and Brad said, "Look Daddy... you're the sun and we're running around you like planets!"
