Twice the trouble, twice the fun

Since we had Brooke & Bailey this weekend & Robb & Michele were going to be coming over today I was hoping to be able to get a picture of my two sets of twin nieces. However, Brooke &Bailey (sorry, "Bailee" as she now likes to spell it) were just heading out the door when the Taylor 5 arrived. So, again no picture.

I told the girls this weekend that people often find it interesting that each of our brothers had twin girls, but Brad & I were "spared". I advised Brooke & Bailey that we love to have them stay with us & that they always make me laugh, but we also get the joy of shipping them home & not dealing with all the work that ultimately comes with having twins.

Getting a good picture of Gracie & Maddy together can be tricky, so I am settling for individual shots.

October/November in Review

Same story, no posting...so here are some shots from the last month.

Another Taylor turns 40....

Pumpkin Hike
Went for a hike at night where the trail was only lit by jack-o-lanterns that Mac students had carved with some public school students. It was pretty neat, but a rather tricky trail at night with very little light to lead your way! Afterwards they also had activities for the kids which in theory were great, but there just was not enough light to make it work very well.

Halloween
Bringing out the power tools to help design the pumpkins was a first for us. I think Brad was inspired by some of the creations at the pumpkin hike.

The kids enjoyed smashing the house on Halloween. Hardly needed all that chocolate though before going out to collect even more candy. After trick-or-treating Sydney didn't even want anything because her belly was too full from the house still.

Gracie & Maddy were cute, but walking in their costumes presented a bit of an issue. Eventually Mommy & Daddy Graham Wafer needed to take the marshmallows back to our house.

Free models
My sister-in-law works for Parks Canada part-time at the Haida & we were their free models for the day. Not sure how the pictures turned out, but we will see if we ever get published.


Early Birthday for Brooke & Bailey
The girls were with us this weekend & since we will not see them until after Christmas & their birthdays are before then...they got gifts early. I made them a cake too & Brad decorated it with the kids, however I would not put 9 candles for them each to blow out as I was afraid it would be bad luck so soon before their birthday. Apparently the shirts I picked were a good choice, because Lisa too picked the same shirts & now has some returning to do.


Santa Claus Parade
After seeing 3 parades last year, this year we will limit to one & our parade was last night. I thought it was pretty good, but getting 8 kids dressed and out the door quickly makes for some harried time.
