Fisher Price has a brand of toy out for ages 3-6 (I think), called Imaginext. It is really cool stuff and has all the themes that a boy would like — fire house, spaceship, pirate ship, Batman’s bat cave. For Christmas Owen got the spaceship and Brandon got the fire house. They love playing with […]

More crafts
One weekend, Daddy did paper bag monsters and masks with Owen and Brandon. That was a real hit, they were so excited to show anyone who walked in the door and they played together with them for days aftewards. And I’ll tell you a secret, Daddy is going to build a craft table for Owen […]
Craft time
Owen and Brandon love crafts, love coloring and being creative. I will admit we don’t do it enough these days with them, the craft stuff is put away out of sight and we often forget about it until it’s too late in the night or right before nap time. At daycare they had a craft […]
Mr Potato Head
Mr Potato Head is a toy that Owen and Brandon rarely play with but play with enough that when I have the thought to put the toy away in storage, Owen and Brandon pull it out and play. When they do play with Mr Potato Head they really do enjoy it. They laugh and squeal […]
Brandon and Kosmo
Brandon is still very interested in Kosmo these days. He loves to sit beside Kosmo and pet him, watch him eat (squatting with his hands on his lap) and throw his toys for him. Of course he gets very upset when Kosmo gets him with his tail, knocks him over when he runs by or […]
Bedtime
Daddy is still the favorite at bed time, although Owen and Brandon are a little more willing to let Mommy read and tuck them in. After All, Daddy can pick them both up, in each arm, and carry them up the stairs to Mommy and Daddy’s bed for story time. And Daddy does it as […]
Brothers
Now if this isn’t the best picture of Owen and Brandon yet!! It was a fluke that we got the shot on the first click. We convinced Owen and Brandon to sit together and smile at the camera for Daddy and the surprising thing for Sean and I, was that we got the great shot! Owen […]
Visit to GG’s house
On Family Day weekend, we also thought it would be a nice surprise for Sean’s grandma (GG so lovely called by Owen and Brandon) if we showed up for dinner Sunday night. The boys enjoyed the drive over, they find the Anthony Henday full of fun and interesting things — counting the overpasses, commenting on […]
Skating for the first time
As promised the very next weekend we took Owen and Brandon skating for the first time. As it worked out, it was Family Day weekend so we got an extra day of skating in. Saturday after gymnastics we headed to Servus Centre in St Albert to use their indoor skating pond. It was a great […]
