Farter Nosepicker

It is the story of Farter NOSEPICKER,
who farted every time he picked his nose.
One day, Farter NOSEPICKER, picked a bogger as big as his head,
and then farted all day long ...

Farter NOSEPICKER is no more.
He has no more boggers, and no more farts.

2nd snow

We didn't get a break this week. This morning I was supposed to bring the car to the garage to have our winter tires put on. When I opened the door it was pure snow coming in mixed with freezing rain. Once again I worked from home. I like to work form home but I like to work from the office too. It rained (freezing rain that this) all day. Tonight before giving the kids a bath we made a fire in the fireplace and Sabrina had popcorn. Even if Matt was all over the place, it was very pleasant.

I really enjoyed having Saby on me on one side with the popcorn bowl on the other while we looked at the fire.

"We're going in the backyard to see the winter" -- Sabrina

I opened the door to go to work early this morning and I was hit by a snow storm. Snow was falling horizontally in big gusts of winds and there was a lot of beautiful snow all over the place. Needless to say I decided to work from home. Traffic is usually very bad in the first snow.

Sabrina just couldn't wait to go outside and "see the winter". They're out now. I've been working since 6:00am so I figure it was worth it to take a pause to enter this.

A little dance

So both kids started to dance on the table and that was so cute. Mathieu (13 mos) and Sabrina (40 mos) are just so cute dancing, we had to insert that video in the blog.

Halloween

Sabrina and Suzanne went trick and treating while Matthew and I gave out candies. He was quite a charmer saying bye to everyone leaving. Sabrina had a great time and collected tons of candies that had to be sorted afterwards to remove anything that may or did contain peanuts. For a good week afterwards she was always asking for a "Halloween Surprise".

Ecomuseum Visit

We had a family outing to the Ecomuseum in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue and we all had a great time. This is one of the nicest little zoos I've been to. Most of the animals in the zoo have been rescued or were born there and cannot be returned to the wild. An amazing place.

The deers came very close to us. The otters loved to give a show by jumping in the water, coming out and climbing on the rock to look at us. And it doesn't show, but that bald eagle is about the same size as Mathieu.

Mathieu's birthday

Our little boy turned 1 year old on October 12th. We first had a nice little birthday here at our home with Melanie, Francois and Benjamin. Here are some pictures:

Then we had a family celebration at Mom's place. It was really fun and we had a great time (Mom's gift was amazing, like Sabrina's).

His first no

Mathieu was really good at saying yes with his head. "Do you want more food?" He'll shake his head vigorously. Well this morning I asked him if he had had a good dodo, which he understood as "do you want to do a dodo". Of course he shaked his head vigorously from left to right. This was his first non-verbal no.

"Dina" is gone

I knew it was going to happen one day but Sabrina can now pronounce her full name, very nicely. She used to call herself "Dina". She'll always be my little "Dina". I love you honey... (M)
