Halloween...

She came...

She saw...

She totally CONQUERED!

and...she was pretty stinking cute!

Date Night....???

Friday nights are "date nights" for Wika and myself. We really wanted to go out, however Emma had "other" plans in mind. She had come down with a pretty ugly cold and we didn't want to leave her for the night. She gets VERY needy when she is sick. So this is what we did instead....

We went to Quizno's picked up some sandwiches, came home and had a "picnic"
Emma LOVED it. We set it up in the family room so we could sit and eat and watch a movie. We watched "Fantastic Mr. Fox"...wierd movie, but Emma was entertained as it was animated so that was ok. I know it wasn't a typical date night for us, but really who wants "typical"??

Random Update...happenings in the GSmith household

I know you have all been dying wondering what we have been up to...well today is your lucky day! And boy is it a good one!

I recently was giving myself a pedicure...and of course who also wanted one??
Here is the final product!
I love little toes!

I think we may have found Emma's calling in life...the girl can trim hair!! Wika needed a haircut badly, and well she just wanted to help!! We let her have at it!

I am thinking it may be time to get Emma an ACTUAL doll. She just likes to put her "babies" to sleep. It's really quite cute...

She has to find them a pillow and blanket. She gets them all tucked in and then she sits next to them and while stroking their faces she sings to them. And the song is usually "I love to see the Temple" or even "Teach me to Walk"

SO PRECIOUS!!
(Tigger...and a dinky baby doll)

Pretty much, anything stuffed is a baby. And just an fyi...those babies sometimes join us for dinner where she will have to make sure they are fed as well!

And last...October 11th was Canadian Thanksgiving...so I obviously had to celebrate with a Turkey!!I know it's a bit small, but when you are only feeding 5...it was plenty!

So delicious...looking forward to Thanksgiving #2 next month! It's great being

CANA-MERICAN!

OH...so this is Henry, my brother-in-law. He offered to make dessert for Thanksgiving...

this is what he made!!

SO HEAVENLY!

It's Banoffee Pie. (banana and toffee pie)

D.I.V.I.N.E!!

'nough said!

The End!

8 years ago...

I went on a date with this guy....

(*no this isn't a picture of our first date, but it's a good one)

He took me out for shrimp and oysters...yuck...and then he introduced to me Anime....

I didn't care for any of it! I mean...I didn't care for the food, or the movie...but my date?!?! He was pretty HOT! He was a definite keeper!

So 2 years after that "awesome" date, I married that man!

6 years down, and ETERNITY to go!! Yeah...I am pretty lucky!

Happy Anniversary to US!
