Downtown Oakville

Hello again! Fully intended to post those funny Hallowe'en pics, but let the camera and all the cables at school. Ooops!
We are having a great week, not just cause report cards are done, but because we are housing sitting in beautiful downtown Oakville. It takes us like 30 seconds to walk to the nearest Second Cup and 45 seconds (a real hike) to get to the nearest Starbucks. It is great. We went to an awesome Thai restaurant yesterday and then walked around town looking in windows and just chillin. Very restful!
It actually snowed last week, just a few flurries, but indicative of the horrible, illegal weather to come. And no Mark, we will not be having a BBQ, swimming or playing backyard cricket for Christmas, thanks soooo much for pointing that out to us! Ha ha!
We're both just busy with work and school, looking forward to Marcus, Toni and Livvy arriving in the upcoming month. I believe a trip to New York city will be in the mix, so that should be awesome.
Hope everyone is doing well and thanks for the messages and feedback.
Jamie and Ally

Hallowe'en Fun

Well, it is now officially getting cold up here. Hallowe'en was super fun, so many cute little kids in our neighbourhood, and they seemed to think my costume was great. I found a Spongebob Squarepants outfit, complete with the big black boots. I didn't know that we were doing a parade through the neighbourhood at school, and let me tell you, most of the parents were laughing their heads off at me, so funny!

I am in the middle of report cards right now, yuck, but glad that the first term is almost over. Time has flown!

Getting really excited for Livvy, Marcus and Toni coming for Christmas! Can't wait to see them all. I'll be a Kiwi Christmas up here in Canada. So awesome!

Hope to post some pics soon of my truly hideous attempt at carving our pumpkins, not as easy as it looks people! Don't mock till you try it! :)
