We had a house full of kids here last night getting all horrifified up  (if I may create a word) to go out pillage the neighbourhood for candy.  Okay, maybe pillage is a strong word, but not for what one kid did to my roast beef! 


I bought a fairly large roast to feed a few extra kids.  I kid you not, one small, skinny Asian 15 year old girl ate half the fair sized roast beef all herself, at least 5 whole potatos and veggies on the side.  Three full large plates of food later she was done.  My daughter tells me she eats like this at school too.  One of the other kids, a 15 year old male, was seen picking at small amounts of food, eating very little.  When I asked my daughter about it later she told me he had never, ever in his life yet used a fork, and was having great difficulty trying to pick up his food.  They went looking for our chopsticks but couldn't find where I stored them.  It's probably a good thing though.  If he ate like the other kid we wouldn't have had enough to feed them both let alone the rest;-)  Oddly enough though, there was lots of broccoli and asperagus left.


One really nasty, horrible joke was played on us this Halloween.  We got 6 cm of snow the night before and it hasn't all melted.  Yuck!  I hate cold!


Looks like another blogger is throwing in the towel.  Ve from Ve's Fantastical Nonsense is calling it quits.  Time to clean the side bar up.  It's such a sad task.
