For Owen’s fourth birthday party we gave him a few options — gymnastics party, gymnasium party or a bouncy house party. The decision was pretty easy — a bouncy house! So the party would be as it was last year, at Aunty Claudette’s house with a bouncy house – this year, though, we hoped and […]

Owen’s Fourth Birthday
For Owen’s actual birthday, we had our families over for birthday dinner and cake. Owen was very excited to open some of his birthday gifts that evening. Then there was cake, Owen’s choice, Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake with Bumblebee (Transformers) on it. We all sang and this was Owen’s response to our singing… And […]
Busy Workin’
The May long weekend is always a tough one to guess on how the weather will be….will it be cold and snow (yes it can and has snowed on the May long weekend), will it be hot and sunny, will it rain? Lucky for us, this year the weekend was hot and sunny. I had […]
Swords and Boys
How to sword fight must be a boy thing, that they just know how to do. I was always awkward at sword fighting, my poor brother had two sisters to teach and try to sword fight with and it always ended with him laughing at us and us leaving pouting because he was laughing at […]
Bathtime!
As of late, bath time has been interesting for Brandon. He has gotten very upset about getting into and sitting in the tub for bath time. Sean and I has been unsure as to why, first it seemed that he was scared of the shower head looming down over him (we moved that as far […]
Happy Fourth Birthday, Zoe!
Happy 4th birthday Zoe! Zoe’s fourth birthday was at the local recreation centre; we spent the first part in the gymnasium playing some different games. Being pulled around on scooters of sort was one of the favorites for Owen and Brandon. The gym part ended with the parachute (this is my favorite part)! After the […]
Thomas the Train
It it’s big, makes noise and moves, Owen and Brandon will like it. Trains, cars, trucks, bulldozers…you name it, they will probably think it is the coolest thing around. Thomas the Train is a big hit in our house and last year we found out that Thomas comes to Heritage Park in Calgary each spring. […]
Calgary Zoo
Our first mini-holiday for the summer was a trip to Calgary to see the zoo and Heritage Park. We planned our trip on the weekend of Zoe’s fourth birthday and lucky for us, Zoe, Isaac and Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma H were all able to come with us! Brandon was mesmerized by all […]
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day; the kids really do make it so rewarding! Owen and Brandon bought me seeds and tins for planting herbs indoors. We planted them right away and again, the seeds kind of all fell into a pile instead of a long line, so we’ll see how they grow. We also made time to see […]
Gardening with Kids
It seems with children I have been inspired to grow, in many ways, but this particular post is concentrating on growing outdoor vegetables, fruits and plants. I want to show them that the fruits and vegetables that they enjoy, grow from seeds in the ground and that we can grow them ourselves. We are equally […]
