Fall Has Fallen

We woke up this morning to brrrrrr cold! Jordyn is still snuggled up in her fleece sleeper and Patience has on a new fleece warmup suit, so they're nice and toasty! But it's apparent that we'll need to crank up the wood stove soon.

Right now Sean is downstairs playing with Leyland, his friend who spent the night. Dylan is at a volleyball tournament all day long. Don and Nathan are down working on our trees this morning. And I'm at home with my girlies. Just last week at this time I was coniving about how I could go down and surprise Val with a visit! Unfortunately there's nothing that fun on today's agenda.

Don is planning on installing the last window in the basement this morning, which will officially end the "construction" phase of the basement. There will still be drywall and electrical to do, but nothing else that will make sawdust! Then we can get his tools out of the "mud room" and give the loft bed (currently where all the tools are sitting!) to a friend of ours! It's a good plan...let's just see if it happens!

This is a three-day weekend in Canada. Their Thanksgiving is on Monday! I still haven't gotten used to such an early Thanksgiving, but I have to admit that for celebrating the harvest, this is a much better time of year than the end of November. Everything is in season right now, summer and fall foods.

More later!
