Pumpkins, Packaging and Parties

It's the countdown to Halloween...the pumpkins are out, the treat bags are ready and the parties have been ongoing :)

Troy "helping" Mommy decorate the porch with pumpkins

Can we go trick or treating yet??

Troy adding his own touch

Mommy...it is 7:00 a.m....what are we crafting?

Potato-stamp pumpkins, of course :)

To brighten up the treat bags

Troy on quality control

Hey Dadddy...did Mommy make up the treat bags so we can't get at the candy?

"Master Chief" Troy

What do you mean this is just a dress rehearsal??

Okay...fine...let's try on another costume...from my collection!

Troy the Stormtrooper

I think I'll wear this one to my dayhome party

Mommy made treats for the party

Sky High with Auntie Carol

Today we had brunch with Auntie Carol...at the Calgary Tower.  It was a beautiful, clear day so the view was fantastic.  The food was delicious, but the company was the best part :)  Thank you Auntie Carol for an unforgettable Calgary-experience!

All dressed up for Auntie Carol :)

Look waaaaaaay up...that's where we are going to have brunch!

Mommy and Me just before we head inside

Auntie Carol spoiled me with gifts too :)

Playing my new game - with a great view!

Crafty

Troy has been enjoying a few fall crafts...

At Kayben Farms with Mommy (and Auntie Lorraine)

Painting a pumpkin

The painted pumpkin HAD to go in the tent :)

This pumpkin is going to need a lot more paint!

Carefully adding chocolate chips to the banana muffins

Working on a thanksgiving turkey craft (thanks to Auntie Lorraine!)

knock, knock...

Troy has a new tent (gifted from cousin Jude).  It is a favorite place to hang out and tell knock, knock jokes :)  (note:  these pics were taken a few weeks ago BEFORE the snow.  Mommy has been busy with school, so the blog doesn't get updated as often...sorry!)

Check out my tent!

Camping in the backyard

Happy Camper

Getting too warm for clothes 

All cuddly

YYC

Troy and Daddy had a sneak peek at the new airport expansion.  They volunteered to be "sample" flyers.  Mommy was unable to join them because she had an exam...but they were paired with "big brother Kevin" for the journey.  They were given luggage, skis, (and pet cats!) to put through security, baggage claim and even U.S. customs!  Apparently, the cats were the only thing that held them up :)

Troy took his job very seriously!

Changing terminals...that's big brother, Kevin, in the lead

All shiny and new (the trees were still unwrapped)

Ready to jet!

Tubbles with Bubbles

Troy still enjoys tubby time.  With the addition of bubbles and his goggles - it is a diving adventure!

couldn't resist :)

Hey, did you just take a picture of my bum?

Clowning around in the bubbles

Big Boy Bike

Troy has a new bike...Jude's old bike!  He LOVES it (mostly because it was Jude's).  Troy wakes up every morning and rushes out to the garage to ride it...and check out all the stickers that Jude put on it :)

My old bike looks really small now!

Try and keep up with me, Daddy!
