It's that time of year again...crisp fall weather, short sunny days, the crest of the moon on the new fallen snow, an A-Hole in his bathrobe emptying his toilet into the storm sewer. No wait, that's the Griswald Family Christmas. This post is supposed to be about East-mas-oween-de Mayo.

Here I am peeling apples that were freshly picked on an autumn adventure. Hard to believe we are sitting outside on the last weekend in October!

At one point, everyone in the family was playing Angry Birds on a phone, laptop or I-Pod. Despite playing all afternoon, no one is any good at it at all:

Princess of Cinqo De Mayo, and all delicious Mexican food and drink:

After dinner the "grown-ups" opened their Adult Content Stockings, complete with anti-inflammatories, non-slip bathmats and all types of depends:

More angry birds, or Cranky Pigs as it came to be known:

A beautiful table setting:

Easter Princess Chocolates (Jasmine was missing-IAN!) for Unka Rod:

A Flaming Basket of Hot Sauces:

Kerry in her Halloween Costume:

Congratulations Kerry!

Last Friday family and friends gathered on a sunny afternoon to watch Kerry walk across the stage at Alumni Hall.

It was an important and dignified event that quickly unravelled into a little Grad party filled with jokes at Kerry's expense:

"Look at Banner Kerry!"

All jokes aside, we are very proud. And you know, a lot of people go to college for 7 years!

I am wayyy behind in my blogging this fall. I have thought about giving up the blog many times, but was reminded again this weekend of two important things: 1) There is someone in my life who checks for blog updates EVERY day, and 2) Clearly this person has nothing better to do with her days, so I feel responsible to not disappoint her (hee hee, love you Auntie).

So I will try to catch up on a few important fall events and renos in the next week or so, starting with the CIBC Run for the Cure.

Last year we decided to run/walk/crawl/roll as a family team, and thanks to a dear cousin of mine, we were made to follow through on it. Here are some pictures of "Saving Second Base" preparing for the run, including customizing shirts, dying various body parts, and eating a very pink meal:
