Lately I’ve felt a little like I’ve been getting a little too wrapped up into making sure lunches are made, groceries are picked up and the laundry is done and haven’t been spending as much time playing with my boys. They will only want me to play with them for so long, will only want […]

Fun in your own backyard
One Sunday afternoon we ended up at West Edmonton Mall and the boys noticed there was this pirate ship inside the mall?! Could they go on it? Sean and I weren’t sure, we’ve lived in Edmonton our whole life but had never gone on the boat. hummm….walking over to the ship we noticed guest services […]
My hockey players
As I’ve posted before, Owen and Brandon are learning to skate and we continued their lessons through to the spring. With the addition of Edmonton Oiler hockey jersey’s they got as gifts from Aunty Claudette and Grandma K for Christmas their skating abilities seem to have increased 100%! Funny how a little motivation can make […]
Happy Birthday GG
Happy Birthday GG (Great Grandma)! GG came to our house on her birthday for dinner and cupcakes to celebrate. Aunty Claudette graciously baked the cupcakes but left the icing and decorating to Owen and Brandon. Lots of icing and sprinkles were a requirement. After singing happy birthday and helping GG blow out her candle, we […]
Doctor Doctor
Dress up is so much fun and I am so happy that Owen and Brandon still love to dress up. One such evening they decided it was going to be all about doctors and being sick. Owen and Brandon shared as best as brother can between being the doctor and being the patient. They really […]

Owen and Brandon were so excited this morning that today was Valentines Day and that they could give their friends the valentines they made them. I was trying to entice them […]
School + Childcare = Impossible
I spent Friday calling around to daycares and dayhomes to figure out how I am suppose to make sure my child can get to and from kindergarten in the fall. Apparently if both parents work full time the education system sees that as an anomoly. What do you mean you can’t drive your child to school at […]
Sledding + Hot Chocolate = Winter Fun
Last Sunday was one of those lazy days, I was in the kitchen making lasgnas, Owen and Brandon were role playing what their daycare teachers do all day — on the walkie – I’ve got 3 kids, can you take 2? Wind chill is high, we won’t be taking the kids outside today! To the […]
Painting!
Crafts are always fun and I am so happy that Owen and Brandon have started to show more interest. Owen found the painting supplies and wanted to paint, so we got the kitchen table all ready and let Owen and Brandon go to town. And I swear it is Brandon’s mission to get as much […]
