Bedtime Games

This is Tom's story, it's a chuckle and worth a share...

MOMENT: Lengthening Bedtime

Every now and then, Keva tries to extend bedtime with needing to go the washroom or, most commonly by calling out "I need to tell you something!" or "I just need to tell you one more thing!" Tom's favourite so far (the sucker fell for it too):

Keva: "Dadddddyyyy!"
Tom: "what is it Keva?"
Keva: "ummmm"
Tom: (waiting impatiently)
Keva: "ummmm"
Tom: (shifting his weight, dreaming of putting his feet up)
Keva: "what's 1+1?"
Tom: "2"
Keva: "That's right!! Good night, Daddy"

First Field Trip

Keva went on her first field trip at school, of course - I just had to go and be a part of it! Off to the pumpkin farm we went!

MOMENT: Pumpkins and Pals

I won't fib, it was a longer ride on a bus than I was expecting, but there was nowhere else I'd rather be than joining Keva on her field trip. There was a hay ride, a bus ride, a pumpkin to pick, and some animals to follow around...

Hay!

How does your garden grown?

Pumpkin!

Talking the Truth

Keva: "I did a farted!"

At least she's honest ...

BOO 2016

Ahhh, Halloween - the season of make believe, parties, parades, and oh-so much sugar! And fun, so very much fun too...

MOMENT: Vampire and Chef

The kids had a really good time carving pumpkins and getting into their Halloween costumes this year. Tavish had slicked hair, vampire teeth, and a cape ready to do his thing at a moment's notice. Keva had flour on her cheeks, a chef's hat on her head, and utensils in her pocket ready to bake or cook at a moment's notice. What a lovely holiday for them!

Thanksgiving 2016

Fall colours are my favourite. Getting away for the long weekend with friends left the whole family full of thanks...

MOMENT: Thankful

Out of the city and off to a cottage. We had a lovely weekend again this year with Megan, Paul, Xavier, and Keir. The colours were lovely and the company lively.

Check out those leaves! 

We are pretty excited, it's crisp and cool!

Caeli Gets Married

One of our very favourite people got married and we were invited!
Congratulations to Caeli and Eric!

MOMENT: Sharing the Celebration of Love

Mommy was off on her Ladies Canoe weekend in Kawartha Highlands and was back in time to celebrate. It was such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon seeing Caeli and Eric so happy. We wish them well in their lives together and feel so touched that we were included...
