Je M'appelle Funny Bear

Sometimes, our Tavish can be a real joker...

MOMENT: Funny Bear

I was putting Keva's diaper on in the bathroom and was strongly encouraging Tavish to get his pjs on ... no doubt it was later than I'd anticipated. Into the doorway of the bathroom runs Tavish without pants and his pj shirt over his head singing "Je m'appelle funny bear!" a few times, then ran out of eye sight. Random, but all in silly good fun. Then, he appears again, this time fully naked with Keva's sleeper on his head to sing the same little song and run off. This happens a few times more... with the fan filter on his head, with a bib on, and finally a sleeping pad from our tent covering his whole body! You could only see dancing arms and legs! One couldn't help but laugh... and shake their head with entertained confusion!

THREE!

May 28, 2015

Keva had a birthday. It was during a weekday, so she got to spend the day with her best pal Caeli who surprised Keva with an amazing homemade "busy board"! The evening brought over Auntie Colleen and a few friends (Kimberley and Isabel) to celebrate.

MOMENT: Three Flowers for a Three Year Old

There were flowers from our friends, a crown from Tavish, a gift from Auntie Colleen, a new doctor bag and, of course, some cupcakes with a candle!

Batter Up

May 26, 2015

Tavish was saving for a baseball bat. There was a sale at Canadian Tire. Off we went!

Batter up!

MOMENT: Shopping and Spending

We did our research. Found a great bat on sale for $17.99. Tavish had $21.00. Perfect excuse for a family outing. Turns out, it wasn't that easy: Bat not there. Found better bat. It wasn't on sale. Talked with salespeople. Chased Keva. Contained Keva (temporarily). Put down the baggie of money. Found it. Got a better deal for a better bat. Spent all but a few coins. Spenders remorse. Left happy. Hit the park.

Hey  Batta Batta! Swing Batta Batta! 

Big Girl Bed

May 9th, 2015

She's growing and so too must her bed ...

MOMENT: Big Crib Ready

Keva's sleep time became more spacious. Sure, she still referred to it as her big crib, because of the rails, but the point is - crib is out, bed is in. Welcome to your bigger bed, Keva!

Jays for Daddy

April 18, 2015

Tom had a birthday. The whole family benefited by celebrating with the Blue Jays!

Grandpa Mike! Get closer to the photo!

MOMENTS: Game Day Birthday

The game was good. Or at least, I think so. Or maybe not. Hard to know. There was a fair bit of Keva-required walking, playing, and general mischief. We were all in our seats at one point to capture a photo AND have our smiling mugs up on the Jumbotron! Happy birthday to Daddy - we even ran the bases at the end to add to the excitement!

Easter 2015

We had a stay-cation for Easter this year and the Easter bunny didn't disappoint! There was an egg carton feast!

MOMENT: An Egg-citing Weekend

The kids participated in the egg hunt at a local park and hunted around the house following clues to their holiday treats of macaroons, grapes, cashews, raisins, raspberries and more! All of this and some bunny inspired pancakes too! Holidays are fun...

Waiting to Play

April 3, 2015

Tavish LOVES his new hockey equipment? He will play with anyone at any time and virtually anywhere.

MOMENT: Waiting for Ahmed

Tavish was ready ... so ready to play, but Ahmed was later than expected. It was okay, Tavish kept himself busy and was more forgiving than normal since it was Ahmed who gave Tavish and Daddy tickets to a Leafs game just a few days after his birthday. This hockey love is real!
