Papa the "Zorg" and Scarecrow contest !!

Papa had us all in stitches for over an hour as he chased the boys around the house with a big box over his head claiming to be "Zorg" (from Toy Story). He eventually added Thomas "inside the box" as well... it truely was hilarious. Our neighbours just got a new little puppy named Molly... perfect size for Thomas !! Today we spent a few hours at the annual scarecrow contest at Kool Breeze Farms. We had hay rides, face painting, pumpkin decorating, hay mazes, lots of tractors to climb and look at, cookies, music and games ... each year it is pretty fun. Poor papa had to work while we played!!! Happy Fall, The MacNeills

Cool weather and school starts

Ben is now in Playschool and here is a picture of what we thought was his first day. Matt was nervous and refused a picture to start off kindergarten!! He loves it now though!!! Tom is now an eating machine since he was a bit sick last sunday so I guess that is a good reason to be hungry the last few days!! Matt and Curtis had a fun play day that included extra superheros in our house. We are the safest house around!!! Matt and Ben got haircuts today..yes Matt's hair is dyed red with a washable gel...a tradtion Tante Heidi started!!! We will get her back one day!! Hope everyone is well and enjoying school, the MacNeills

Rest of long weekend

We did get out to Santa's Woods one last time and I think Hillary and Claire had a pretty good time. We also managed a quick trip to Cabot Beach (apparently the Smillards did get to put their feet in the water.. but it was a bit cold!!) We will miss them and thanks for the fun visit!!! Can you tell that Hillary likes Tom? Or is it Tom that likes Hillary? The MacNeills

Kensington water gardens with the Smillards!!!

Our friends came to visit so we checked out the local water gardens and had a pretty fun time running after all the kids!! The MacNeills
