Citrouille!


Ok Ok, so its not the most original costume but I thought it was a great way to introduce Jacob to Halloween.

It was either a pumpkin or a cowboy. The cowboy would've been very funny but the rest of the costume would've been lost under his jacket so this was the best bet.

Halloween didn't quite turn out the way we had expected this year.
On his way home from Toronto, Richard got a call from his brother saying that they had been in contact with someone who had H1N1. We decided to play it safe since Jacob cannot be vaccinated (6 mts +). I can be vaccinated, and since I'm nursing, Jacob will be safe. Unfortunately clinics hadn't started their mass vaccinations yet. There is a high level of paranoia here, and to make matter worse Rich was vomiting like crazy the night before he came home.

So now it'll be a full month since we've seen each other. :-(
I'm really looking forward to next weekend. It can get pretty lonely here sometimes.

So we had a great weekend with Nana and Papi. We got dressed up and went to visit Jacob's Great Nanny too. She was thrilled to see him. It really turned out well. Jacob also got to spend time with his Uncle Bill, and he even did some window shopping.

Apparently Halloween was crazy with tons of trick or treaters in Otterburn Park...
The boys were here too, so at least they got to enjoy it!

Hope your Halloween was Spooktacular!
