How to Train Your Dragon is probably our longest running obsession that started almost 8 years ago! Creating their costumes this year was not the easiest! But a whole lot of glue gun action with some minor sewing along with spray painting, and voila! We took a few photos of this fierce duo before the sun set, but of course Toothless saw and he couldn’t resist sneaking up on us for a sweet photobomb!

At Dusk they took flight! Astrid and Stormfly wouldn’t let the rain get in their way of candy collecting! The rain came down very hard at times but they just embraced it and continued on. We started our adventure with lots of friends but the longer Astrid and Stormfly trekked the more friends they would lose to the downpour. These two have weathered many storms together. so as tempting as the hot apple cider and hot chocolate was, they motored on. They were determind. By the time all the candy was collected the rain finally stopped. So they enjoyed their flight home with mouths full of candy.
Once again, our incredible neighbourhood made this holiday super rad!! So many of you wonderful neighbours also embraced the elements and turned what could have been a gloomy Halloween in to yet another epic year! Thank you! Now scroll down to see their adventure!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my. Every year we make Easter eggs I think to myself, “this is my favourite way of dying eggs”. And this year, I have to say it again! I LOVED the way these turned out.
To dye these we used raw eggs and boiled them in red onion skins and red cabbage. We used the flowers Julian and Adelaide brought home last week since they were starting to shrivel up. I have a bunch of tulle because of course I do, and we used tiny hair elastics.
As we were doing this we discussed ways to make these more natural. Audrey suggested washing the tulle afterwards, which we did and now we can use it again next year instead of throwing it in the garbage. And Adelaide suggested we use thread instead of elastics because it’s more environmentally friendly. We also love that they are natural because they are edible! So tomorrow night we are having homemade soup and egg salad sandwiches for dinner!
