Visit to the Zoo

Yes there were regular animals that we found there; chickens, cows, bees to name a few. But we also found some of the more 'exotic' ones, like dragons, dinosaurs, bears...If you guessed that we didn't go to an actual zoo, you're right:) We went to Metrotown for Kairo's trick or treating.

From 6-7 pm today, the Lower Level (where Toys r us is) turned into a zoo of kids and parents. We got shoved and pushed by PARENTS who can't wait for their kids' turns for candies. This one mom, speaking anthusiastically to her son while pointing passionately towards the lady at le chateau who was handing out handfuls of jelly beans to each kid. Now, the mom spoke some sort of foreign language, but judging by the tone of her voice and the direction she was pointing to, I'm positive it was something like " get your bum to that lady that handout tons of candy NOW" Well, here's to the kid in all of us...or should I say..all of them:)

We didn't stay too long there, it was too much to handle I guess:) Oh, we saw one of our neighbour there, out and about with their two kids also. Below is a picture of Kairo and Katherine, the girlfriend...hehehe......so after that short visit, we walked Kairo around the neighbourhood for some more candies.

Tonite is pretty mellow for us. Too mellow that we decided that next halloween, we just won't bother buying candies but instead, hit the mall way earlier and then get home just in time to recycle the candies.....hahahha....hey, considering that we only got 1 (ONE) trick or treater tonite:)

Here are some pics I took :) Btw..it's really really cold outside...anyways...Happy Halloween everyone!

Our 2nd Annual Canucks Super Skills

Well, this is our 2nd year of watching the Canucks Super Skills with the Bennett:), but this year is so different though. I don't really know most of the new players, so that part alone wasn't really that fun. Top it off with us, 4 adults, and 3 under two. Needless to say, the show went on so long for me..oh well, provided that they won't make major renovation on the team by the end of this year, maybe the show will get more enjoyable again next year:)

Here are some pics of us and some of the Canucks, and yes, they have this new digital type screen at GM Place, produce much better quality shots of the game.


The new screen (top) and two of the Canucks that still looks familiar to me:)

At the end of the show, Kelan was hidden under Lyn's jacket to snooze and Indie was sit sleeping on Shun:)

Costume party at the Scott's

Happy BOO day:) We just got back from the party at Cam and CJ's. It was fun to see everyone again , especially in all those creative costumes...(all except for that ghost.(cut two holes and draw black mouth with a marker on a bed sheet)costume) hahah:)

I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to, my Robin needed to be fed and the Bat girl was just getting cranky.

Anyhow, here are some pics from the party...just for you Lyn:)










Kairo the Robin










Rylan the Jedi


Snow White and her heroes..(dwarfs are all sleeping?)







Batman and Batgirl:)













Indie lounging on Cousin Beaver and Brother Robin









Our Bat family:) Who would've thought that a union of a catwoman and a batman will produce a human and a batgirl:)





Batman saved me...rrrr:)
















The Jedis and a Gypsy...didn't realize that gypsies are in the spaceship...






Robin and Wonder Auntie:)

The ladies and the little guys:) Let's see, Vat was a sexy Red Riding hood:), Nat was the lady from the Phantom of the Opera, Ly was Raggedy Ann and Candy was Peach from Mario Bros oh, and Fara was a Witch I think...






The guys:)..The Wolf was Chris, Dave was a 60s guy I think, Deepa was Don King:), Joe was Toad, Cliff was the Phantom, Cam (the one with green head) was some sort of a Sea Monster and Pao was a ghost:)

That's all the pics I have:) Ceej's sister Joy and her man came out just before we left, I think he was a Vampire and she was a freshly bitten Geisha...hehehe...I know, we had to leave early, like 9.30pm....Kairo passed out before we even left the parking spot and Indie was pretty much too... well, We were there for a good time...not a long time...hehehe:)

Worth stopping for

haha...I love this picture, worth stopping for for all the drivers don't you think?:) I mean, would you rather stop for one person walking or 4 adults, their babies and their buggies?:) You're right Liz, we should contact Graco and offer them to buy for the rights of this picture...hahaha....hey, maybe next time we should walk on the side of the bridge and get Vats or Susan maybe to take picture from the other side...what do you think?? :))

The Fellowships of the ring

These are the faces (and feet) of babies who are forced to be friends since it's just convenient for their parents...hahah:)..man, 4 boys and a girl, can you imagine when they start to fight with each other?

Picture of the day...for me anyways:)

That's right Indie, you don't get to do any of that till you're AT LEAST 20!:)

Siblings

Just few pictures I have with Indie and Kairo...I can't imagine that in no time Indie will be able to walk and RESPONDS to her big brother's roughness:)..

Shopping for babies

Before I was pregnant, I used to think that shopping for baby girls is easy. Lots of different styles, cute colors, and not to mention the accesorries for the hair:)

Now that we are use to shopping for Kairo, shopping for Indie feels so much harder. I mean, there are so many options to choose from!:) ..plus, they usually come in rays of bright, velvety type of material that are also over priced. Boys are easy; pants, shirts/t-shirts, shorts and that's it.

I actually like Carter's. We were able to find cute, simple and cheap stuff there . But again, we don't have Carter's here in Canada...not in BC anyways...So the grass IS greener on the other side....sigh:(

I guess jeans are that 'little black dress' for baby girls:), even that flowery, 60's style long sleeves she has on can get tone down by the jeans:)...Btw..who invented jeans?

Kickboxing II ..and the reward after:)

As Liz mentioned in her blog, we had our 2nd Kickboxing practice today. And she was right, it flew by really fast and it felt soo good, especially since we had those infectious bubble teas while geebreshing those unjuicy conversations after. Sure felt good to be out and about again at night time without having to say 'ssshhh' or 'you're okay' or 'what's wrong baby?':) , even for only a little bit.

I brought up something that I thought is weird, you know how you always find instructions on shampoo bottles, ie. wet hair, wash, repeat if necessary:), well, do you ever notice that there are no instructions on how to put on diapers? I mean people start shampooing themselves ever since they are what..5 maybe? but diapers? I didn't start using them until I was 27. Do you ever wonder why they don't put any instructions on those diapers? Are they much easier to use than shampoos? Hmh.....
