Beach weekend!

There is no where in the world that I am more present-in-the-moment than this place... My little one has been full of Mother's Day treats today. First he came in to our room and when I said It's hard to say no to a -- (name) cuddle.. He answered "it's hard to say no to a mommy cuddle"... Then on the beach he made a sand picture of us... And as we walked along the beach ha sang "Love you forever, love you for always, as long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be." Our big boy came up to me on the beach and wanted a hug too... Playing in the sand, walking on the beach... This is a relaxing weekend I have been looking forward to after many months of endless responsibilities and commitments... Looking forward to summer with these guys at our favourite place...

Easter morning!

They want paska for breakfast! But, what other day can you do that? :-)

My oldest's opinion of getting dressed for Easter at church: "I feel like my shoes are choking my toes"

Springtime fun

Paska!!!

Just made this today! Took 9 hours... But yummy!

Beach

The beach in March! Forecast says high 26 C today! Too bad we didn't bring our snowshoes to climb through deep snow on the beach... Would have been a funny picture! Snowshoes, shorts, beach chairs... Sand.. Ice... :-)

Now more of a Raiders snowman

Snowman weather!

Polar bears!

Our little guy is "person of the week"...at the same time as they study polar bears, so I made these for his last day!

Skating

Wishes of the almost 9 year old

If anyone gets any of these things, please send a message saying which one so it can be removed :-)

For the following two things, someone has already bought the front box (Buzz Lightyear, the space guy), but not the spaceship thing above that box, which he wants too...

It was at the children's section of the Indigo bookstore in January...

Rrrrrrred!

Our little boy was saying things in French with me a few minutes ago... Eyes, nose, mouth... Then a couple of colours. I repeated rouge for him but he was done with saying things in French and kept saying "That is red"... But all of the sudden I noticed that he wasn't saying "wed" as he he usually does with words with the letter "r"... He was making a point of stopping on the "r" and saying "rrred". So stopped Kurt and the big boy from their reading to get them to notice... We were all so impressed! I wondered if someone worked on it with him... I asked if he figured it out on his own... He nodded... Then he said a word that had "r" at the end of the word and he didn't seem to be able to do that... He said big boy's name right for the first time... Then looked at me and said "Jennifer" with the "r" sound! So cute!
