Ryan want to be a pirate for Halloween this year. This will be the first year he has done anything for Halloween. We bought facepaint at the dollar store to get ready, and he decided he wanted to practice by having a snake on his face. He made me into a princess. Don't we look so cool?!

Here is my latest cake. Alexander wanted as soccer ball in army colours. It was the hardest cake I've made so far, but hopefully worth the effort!

To celebrate the holiday Monday (Labour Day) we traveled an hour north from home to Tottenham where Cherag lived before we got married. I've been wanting to take Ryan on a train ride and it worked perfectly to go today. We went on the South Simcoe line. It runs around 4 steam engines through the summer season, all dating back to the late 1800's. It was only a 45 min ride, but just long enough for Ryan. He really enjoyed it and loved putting his head out the window, one time bumping his head. This was our last "outing" of the summer. School starts tomorrow!
