A very busy Friday night

Last night we had a few things on the go. First, we headed to the Officers Mess for the annual family Halloween party. There were games, crafts, door prizes, pizza etc. and, of course, all the kids (and some of the parents) were dressed up in costumes. Ainsley was a ladybug : )



Here she is enjoying some of the activities that were planned including coloring a picture, and watching 'Monsters Inc.'. She also 'participated' in musical chairs by watching the big kids play and dancing each time the music came on.





After we ate a yummy pizza supper, Ainsley had a quick change and we were off to Bonnyville for a Pontiacs game (Junior A hockey). Our friend Rob is a referee and so we wanted to go to one of the games to see him. Ainsley has never been to a hockey game before, and she was quite taken with the music, lights and action on the rink when we got there. She even had her own seat!



After she settled in with a snack (which all moms know is a necessity ..), she was pretty content to sit and watch most of the first period.



During intermission(s) she went for a walk with Peter; also, her friend Joel (Rob's son) and Joel's mom Kinsley came and sat with us, so the two kids got to entertain each other a bit. Ainsley was also very interested in watching the 'big' kids behind us being silly.


It took me awhile to get a shot of her looking at the camera ... isn't she a doll? : )


And finally we headed home and Ainsley hit the hay around 10:00 - which is very late for her. As you can see, she didn't quite make it home to go to sleep ; )
