Carvery

I forgot some silly dreams from previous days. ***Grandma had a baby, she forgot she had it for five days. She thought Grandad had Monty Don hair. Luckily Cousin Jane had been looking after the baby. She was holding the baby and she thought it was a boy but it was fully clothed (as soon as she had it)***

***Huffle was tobogganing through a shopping centre and managed to just get through the doors as they were closing. He shouted wahooooo***Dreams over for now......

Huffle had a day off though he probably wished he hadn't after the many emails and phone calls he received. After we got the kids off to school, had our breakfast and skyped the Floridians, we set off for Port Hope. It was over an hours drive and by the time we got there we were a little peckish but not quite ready for dinner. We walked to the 'famous for cookies' cafe and had a drink and famous cookie. Grandma chose Apple pie which was of course, the biggest thing in the whole place (we had to bring it home for later). The cookies were very yummy.

Grandad's latte cup was as big as his head and the cookies were actually smaller than they seem!

We poddled around some shops much to the men's disgust and then drove to Cobourg.

We wandered till we found somewhere to eat and ended up in Crabby Carol's Oyster lounge which was very nice with not an oyster on the menu. We had a bit of a rush and didn't have time to walk along the boardwalk so we drove along the harbour wall and looked at the beach and empty harbour. Big difference to Summer when it was packed.

TL: wafting under the Dutch oven. TR: Huffle fins a hat that fits

BL: man in the middle made Grandad and Huffle feel slim. BR: ahhhhhhhh

Where ate.

Harbour

Huffle drove us home and we got back with five minutes to spare before the boys came back. We promised them they could carve the pumpkins so we got right on with it.

This cheeky little chipmunk was sunning himself on our porch!

Three big pumpkins, six helpful people, lots of seeds, much pulp, sawing, scraping, cutting, drawing.........

Grandad and I worked very hard on the 'welcome' carving - we were very happy with the results (Huffle and grandma were jealous!!!!!).

Pumpkins were displayed. The boys had their dinner and then we sorted out costumes for tomorrow.

The boys played on the Wii - Winter Olympics. They used the mii's of Grandma, Moo, Betty Brownie and Grandad but they weren't good enough so they made a new team. Once it was dark we lit the candles.

L: Small's TR: Mine and Grandad's
