Woohoooo!!! I managed to get myself a table at the Spruce Bog Craft Fair for November. After hearing they were all full, I thought I would get a head start on asking for a table for their Easter Craft Fair. But hurray! They said I can have a table for this event. I just have to become a member and pay the fees.
So on November 15th at the Canada Games Arena, come on by my table (I think I am either #85 or #87) and buy an awesome pair of baby booties! I am going to be sewing my heart out between now and then.

Pie Stealing Squirrel, A Baby Bat and Some Parkas!
Interesting title.... but none of it is related. Too bad, that would have probably made for a more interesting tale.
The Pie Stealing Squirrel:
Last week Hunter and I are eating lunch at the table when I see an adorable squirrel on the deck. Oh look Hunter! A squirrel! So we watch the squirrel. Oh look Hunter! He is eating too, it must be his lunchtime. Ack! That little f*$#er!! He has a peach in his paws! He is stealing my peach pie!!!
I learned my lesson. When using the deck as your outdoor fridge, remember to store the pie in the bbq, not on the side of it.
My poor peach pie... The squirrel was sticking pieces of it into a tree next to the house. He also has big mushrooms in the tree!
A Baby Bat:
Parcel arrived from my mom today. She made Hunters Halloween outfit again this year. He is such a cute little bat! I promise I will get better pictures come Halloween:
Some Parkas!
This I am super duper excited about. I am (oh my god, I am really going to admit it) really starting to enjoy sewing. My mom found these parks patterns and I think I am going to try my hand at making them!!

Potty Fun!!
I got Hunter to pee on his potty three times just today. First when he woke up from after his nap. Then twice this afternoon I just took him down there when I had to go and we both went! It all seems to work better if I pee at the same time, which isn't a problem when pregnant. Now I will be just plain giddy if I can get him to take his super craps in the potty next!!
Live in Whitehorse? Input needed!
Hey there Yukon folks,
So I have heard (thanks for the research Fawn!) that the Spruce Bog craft fair has been full up for weeks. I found an email address and sent a message off just in case. I wish I had heard about this stuff sooner!
Your input needed here:
1. So which other craft fair is really well attended in Whitehorse? I would still really like to go to one, but I want to make sure it has been well attended in the past.
2. Where is a really good spot to have a vehicle serviced? We just need the basic oil change stuff and are wondering where you like and don't like. And is there a really good spot for having a windshield replaced?
Thanks Whitehorsians :)

Barf-a-rama
We had a very pleasant and productive weekend up in Pelly Crossing with Matt. I was able to make 11 pairs of booties and have three more pairs cut out and ready to sew. I also used up some canvas that wasn't working well for the booties and am making northern stockings! Canvas trimmed out with fur to hang on the wall at Christmas. I am sewing up a storm in anticipation of a big craft fair in Whitehorse that I want to attend this fall. People have been very encouraging of me going saying I will sell a heap of booties. So I have my fingers crossed.
We relaxed, went for walks, played with the boy.... A very nice weekend. I yakked a bit- the funniest was we were walking and as usual, a random puppy followed us for our walk. I paused, like usual, to yak in the ditch and the puppy ran over to eat what I was regurgitating, but it was hard not to yak right on the puppy! My husband seemed to enjoy the entertainment.
Good news- Matt is coming home on Thursday instead of Monday! Hurray! I am looking forward to having him home for the weekend.
Today, Hunter and I drove home. It is only a 275km drive back to Faro, but the boy decided to only nap for 80km of it. The sun was in his eyes, so I stopped to put a blanket in the window to block out the sun. Well, I think that might have led to some car sickness. He normally spends the drives napping or looking out the window. About 60km from home (we were listening to the Vinyl Cafe on my ipod) I hear this horrible noise from the back seat and look in my rearview mirror. Oh god. It was horrible. Cottage cheese like barf mixed with grapes, peas, moose meat and a random assortment of other goodies are pouring out of my son at an alarming rate. It was so disgusting. Good thing there was a turnout soon after. I pulled over and got Hunter out of the car seat and his clothes and let him drive the truck while I cleaned. It was disgusting beyond words. Barf everywhere. What did we do before wet wipes were invented? Probably just threw the baby out. It took me about 15 minutes to clean up the back seat enough to get Hunter back into the car seat. I stunk. He stunk. The truck is going to stink forever. Joy.
So an stinky end to a great weekend! The boy seems no worse for wear. Oh! First eye tooth came through this weekend with the other three putting some serious thought into it.
If anyone has ideas for how to get milk/moose barf stink out of truck and car seats, please send it my way. And if anyone knows about this big craft fair that happens at the Winter Games place, please share that info too!
Have a good week everyone!

Congratulations Kim and Ken!!
Kim I have been best friends with since grade 7.
Ken I have been friends with since grade 3.
I missed their wedding last year because I was in labour with Hunter.
Well this morning they have their very own little man!! Congratulations you two and have fun giving him a name!! Of course, I am very jealous since your whole labour and delivery was only 4 hours from start to finish, but I still love you.
Here is Matt and me at the wedding last year:

Off Again
Hunter and I are heading out tomorrow morning to see Matt up in Pelly Crossing. We will be out until Tuesday! So I hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Today was awesome- first day of play group! 10 kids between 1 and 5 years old came this morning. Funding was found through Active Living (I think this is an RPAY fund). Parents and their kids come to learn about active living! It is running for 6 hours a week until the end of November. Hunter absolutely loved it. He threw balls, coloured, played with other kids, made eyes at the girls and ate goldfish crackers. Does life get any better than that?
And I got him to pee twice today on his potty. This morning though, he peed in his potty then went over the other side of the bathroom and peed even more on the floor!! What a kid.
I have three more assignments to get done by Friday for work. And of course I have left the worst ones until last. Blah, who cares how a house is wired... well unless you are Stacey of course. I am also taking all of my sewing in hopes of creating a mountain of booties this weekend.
And next week I will tell you all about the pie stealing squirrel of Faro. Stay tuned!
