October Puppy Class
Believe it or not, these are all different puppies. Most of the litter (there were 12 puppies in the litter) were at this class.
They all spent most of the hour sleeping after they got their shots.

xobni - (inbox spelled backwards)
I downloaded this application because I have a need to try new things. I am always looking for a better/easier way to do things, much to the dismay of all around me.
This new application is an addon for MS Outlook. It sits as a sidebar and analyzes who sends you email, who you send to, who is on those.
Try it. It is a handy app.
Makes searching for people and email easier, makes finding attachments easier.

Grandma (Mom) 's visit to Oakville - Monday
Carolyne took the day off work.
Emma had to work from 4:30 - 8:00.
Andrew had a call-up soccer game (a team older or better than his, can call up boys from his team to play if they are going to be short players) - the third time for this one team. Three is the limit per team, so he will not be able to play for them again this year.
We started pulling weeds from the interlock in the driveway then called a guy to see how much he would charge to do it properly and refill and repair it. -- he starts next week :)

Canada's Super Spellers
We were invited to attend the Toronto semifinals of this new contest/TV show.
It was interesting and for the last bit we were sitting in the front row. The kids who did not get to go onto the finals were quite upset and crying. Very sad.
I am not sure why parents put them through this.
The finals are thanksgiving weekend in Halifax and the show will air sometime after that.
