~Vacation Time~

I am off this week with the children. And I am loving it! I am also loving that my sister arrived on Sunday from Austraila and is spending the week with us.

Lots of catching up to do! We are going to do a few day trips and just hang out and relax.

And I don't care what a lot of people are saying about the weather. I am loving this weather!

It is not too hot and if it is a bit chilly all you need is a light sweater. I could deal with this for the rest of the summer, just keep the rain away!

~Bad Storm~

Yesterday evening we had a crazy hail storm. Shortly after it was finished, Madison and I were sitting in the living room and we started to hear a very loud cracking noise. We got to the window in time to see one of the trees in our backyard, split down the middle and fall.

Luckily, no one was hurt and really there was no damage. It just sucks that it has to be cleaned up now!

~The Birthdays just keep coming :-)~

~7 years ago today...~

Colin and I were married!
Happy Anniversary to us!

~Dr's Visit~

Caleb had a dr's appt today. He was very interested in all the equipment on the wall and had me explain what each one was for.

He was also very surprised that the receptionist and the Dr knew his name. When we were leaving he asked me: 'Mom, how does everyone here know my name?' It was too cute.

Here are some pics.

~Go Fly a Kite...~

One evening at the park this week!

~New Layout~

Decided to update my layout.
Was getting tired of the old one.
Hope you like it!

[Painting Fun]

I bought some Squeeze and Brush paints for Caleb, thinking that he would love to do some painting. However, the girls wanted to join in the painting fun also. I sometimes forget that even as they are getting older, they still want to do some of the same stuff as Caleb.

They had a great time painting one evening on our kitchen floor.

[Mother's Day]

Hope all the Mom's are having a GREAT day!!

We have been busy today. This morning we participated in Meagan's Walk in Toronto. In support of our Godson, Charley, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2008. Meagan's Walk helps to provide funds for pediatric brain cancer, in hopes of finding a cure.
We walked 5km from Ontario Place to the Hospital for Sick Children. The weather co-operated and a good time was had by all! We also got to spend some much needed time with a few of our friends.

[Happy 1st Birthday!]

Big Birthday wishes going out to little Imogen in Australia who is turning 1 today.

As always, wishing we were there to celebrate with you and your family. But we are so excited to see you and your Mommy very soon!

[Birthday Wishes]

A special Birthday wish going out to Rhianna who turned 8 years old today! You are a wonderful little girl and a Great friend!

We can't wait to celebrate at your Birthday party next weekend!

Also, Great Big Congrats going out to my BIL and his wife, whose second son was born in the early hours this morning! We are so happy for you all and welcome Baby O with lots of love.

[Mama Goose :-)]

This Mama Goose is at Caleb's daycare and every day we drive by her and she gets very angry with us.
Caleb is so intrigued by her. As soon as I pick him up from daycare he asks if I drove by the goose and can we go drive by her again!
I think that she is close to having her eggs hatch, because she is getting more hostile as the days go by. But we moms know what that's like ;-)

[a girl after my own heart...]

Madi loves to read.
You can always find her with her nose in a book.
She always has one in her hand.
Every morning before we leave the house, the last thing she grabs is her book.
She reads all the way to school, all the while ignoring me.
She begs me to take her to Chapters on a weekly basis so that she can 'just look at the books.'
And if we can't go there, she asks me to take her to the library.
She is currently saving all her money for the next book on her list.
What can I say...?
She's my daughter :-)
