We visited a house today in Saskatoon, it was a new build and the people renting it out were worried the occupants would leave marks - well not for us then, keeping kids from being kids is not my forte.

We are staying with one of Chris's work colleagues at the moment and he is happy for us to stay until the end of December. So we are now looking at enrolling Callum at the local school to here.

the first time trick or treating I got a large orange box full of crisps gum and packets of suck sweets.everyone was dressed up.we went with 2 other familys . the

costumes were man in black eye monster witch and a bee.

Our first Halloween in Canada was brilliant, almost all the children were dressed up and loads of the adults too and that was before dusk. We met several rag dolls and thing one and thing two at Market Mall. At Chris's work most of the office dressed up their characters included a Republican and an office ninja. Later we were collected by Aidan to join the other kids meeting at his house ready to go trick or treating. Everyone dressed up and all the houses greeted us with loads of candy (sweets and chocolates). We still keep up with Treating (thank you Aunty Sophie) and all the kids made sure between them a tangerine was handed to each house. A great time was had by all See http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38621&l=f73b3&id=573408733.

Later the kids and I returned home while Chris and some others ended up at Zach's to play rock band. We visited the local decorated houses with some of the chocolates that had not been collected here. We discovered that there is a family across the road that goes to Prince Philip school and seem to enjoy it.

We did not do much today. After cleaning the kitchen floor we made Jello (Jelly) and then had to clean it again.

Today's challenge was to find out how to get stamps and bus tickets. Thanks to Iain's comment, we tried the local drug mart and found the local post office hidden in the back. The lady at the front directed us and then suggested we tried across the mall's corridor at Safeways the local supermarket. We caught the bus from Market Mall to Centre Mall to meet up with Chris. After lunch and a walk round we caught the bus 1 to Market mall. We also discovered about transfer tickets, which have to be requested for as you get on the bus, which means the next busses for up to an hour are free. As this is the case we caught the bus 6 home.

Our boy was bouncing after one of his friends chatted to him on Skype this morning.

Its lovely warm and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky at a barmy 25°F. Pity about the wind. Apparently it was the feartist wind for quite a while. We started by walking up Cumberland till we reached a Tim Hortons (the Canadian version of a coffee shop), where we stopped for one coffee and three hot chocolates. Then went on towards centre mall which is the closest Mall to Chris's work.

After walking home we were collected by Aidan for a Halloween party at his place. There we met Zach and Colin from Point 2 with their families. The kids loved it and started making friends. After they we exhausted, our girl just walked in and collapsed on her bed. See http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38621&l=f73b3&id=573408733
