Life continues on at the Ell household.  The last few weeks we’ve been busy in the garden, planting, weeding and adding a little more life to our yard.  Caleb loves digging in the dirt and moving bugs to new “homes” on the other side of the yard.

Adam also decided it was time for Caleb to have his first driving lesson.  Imagine my surprise to open the front door and hear Adam say… “push that down to show that you are turning left”… as Caleb is sitting in the drivers seat of our car.  Being the responsible child that he is, Caleb did have my Infant Massage doll straped safely into the carseat in the back!

Happy May everyone!

Caleb was not happy about Halloween this year.  To him, everything is scary… hair cuts, public washrooms, peas, and his race car driver costume – which he picked out.  At the annual Halloween party at Tracey and Brenden’s, Caleb refused to wear a costume – in fact he wouldn’t even take his coat off.  At our annual Halloween party (pictures to come), he was the only child not wearing a costume – and he was the host.  So after some screaming, scary movie style, and some bribing (hello giant lollypop), we managed to get him into his costume.  It was kind of like wrestling with an octapus, only with more shreking!  Anyways, once we were out the door and he had the concept of trick or treating, he was all for it.  He and his buddy Kaari were practically running from door to door, and we had to help them carry all the candy they ended up getting.  Oy!  The teenage years are going to be scary!

Oh, and incase you were wondering – we had around 250 trick or treaters – then we ran out of stuff and had to turn off the lights, and yes we all had a great time.  Thanks Aunty “Lissa” for helping with the door.  The annual Halloweeen parties were fun too!
