Gymnastics
Today is Saturday and that means two things are a given — a trip to Tim Horton’s for breakfast and gymnastics. Today is also the Halloween weekend and that means Owen and Brandon get to wear their Halloween costumes all weekend. We like the Tim Horton’s on 184 street; it’s quiet, on the way to […]
Happy Birthday
It’s a little late, but Happy Birthday Aunty Claudette. Aunty’s choice for her birthday was chicken fajitas and rice. Uncle Phil did an outstanding job cooking the chicken — this means Uncle Phil MUST always have dinner with us when it’s chicken fajitas. After dinner, came the surprise birthday cake — Aunty was touched by […]
Swimming
Swimming lessons started up again this fall at the YMCA. Owen and Brandon both love the water and when ever we tell them we are going swimming, they get very excited. This fall Brandon was enrolled in Parent and Tot; he cannot move up to the next level until he is 3 yrs old. Sean […]
Baking and Decorating a birthday cake
This year Owen and Brandon have both really caught on to the excitement of birthday’s. So for Aunty Claudette’s birthday (October 29th), I thought it might be fun for the boys to help bake and decorate a birthday cake for her, plus I knew she would think that was pretty special. Over a couple evenings […]
Craft Time

The witching hour and the silly hour
Evenings are hectic and short, before bath time the boys are usually irritating each other, cranky and uncooperative – the witching hour. After bath time and into their pyjama’s, the boys are happy and full of energy – the silly hour. They are very helpful at bath time, taking their clothes to the laundry hamper […]
Brandon and Kosmo
Okay okay, it’s been a while; I’ve been trying to fit everything into a day but some things end up getting bumped to the next day and then the next and then the next… Brandon has started showing an interest in everything to do with Kosmo, our pup. Brandon never paid much attention to Kosmo, […]
The past week
We have had unusually warm fall weather this year and we have tried to take advantage of it. Most nights we try to get the boys outside to play before it gets really cold. We did sidewalk chalk one afternoon, drawing dinosaurs and light bulbs and trees. Kate watched us from her front window before […]
Edmonton Corn Maze
One Sunday evening after we finished dinner and the boys were climbing the walls, there was a knock at the door. It was neighbours Nick, Jenn and Kate; they were wondering if we would like to join them at the Edmonton Corn Maze this sunny fall evening. We were jumping with joy…this is the perfect […]
