i'll take the extra hour

Even though I went to bed unusually early for a Saturday night, I still was able to sleep in until 845 !  Okay, but wait, it was really only 745!  Even better.  So much to get done today.  There always is.  So, once I attempt to write something, somewhat interesting on here with my coffee, play a game of Sorry with Nicholas and Daddy, I will get busy!

Our agent is coming by again this week with the hopes of listing the house.  Scary.  After months and months of talking about it (and really, really tired of listening to myself), we are about there.  However, now is the worst time of all to list so we have decided to list until just before Christmas and see what happens.  If we get a great offer, so be it.  But truth is, the options for us is dwindling.  So...who knows.  And taking Nicholas out of school this far into the year is really something I don't want to do.  Once upon a time ago when I too was in grade one, my parents upped and moved us to Bowmanville from the city.....but at the end of April.  Devastating to a very shy six year old....and at the end of the school year!  I really will never forget how that felt.  But ultimately, I guess you adapt and form new friendships.....right?  Right...and I did.  Lifelong ones actually.  

Hm...sounds like I'm talking myself into being good with whatever decision we do make.

And speaking of school - Nicholas is settling in very well with grade one.  The year started off a little shaky with some concerns about the class 'bully'.  But happy to say that that has been less of a problem  lately and Nicholas is learning how to deal with this.  He is doing amazingly well with all of his schoolwork.   Progress reports come out this week and we will meet with his teacher, Mrs Skillen. 

Am posting some pics from Halloween.  It was a cold one this year but the boys were warm.  So what that Spiderman had to wear a puffy vest!  He matched ;0)!  As excited as both Shane and Nicholas were, after about an hour and already half a bag full of junk  candy, they were both asking to go home. 

And now Christmas is coming.....before we know it I am sure.  While writing on here, Nicholas just wrote his letter and drawing for Santa, thankfully using great manners.  Santa should be impressed!  He did ask me though if I think he will be on the naughty list.  !!  And Shaney seems to think that every toy that comes on tv will be his.  Ugh. 

Mama and Syds flights are booked and we are super excited to have them both here for the holidays!!!
