Puppet Play

While Mommy was away for the weekend (running a secondary leadership weekend), Tom assisted Tavish and Riley in the construction of a puppet show stage... let the creativity begin!

MOMENT: Puppets!

There was a chalk invitation with arrows to guide us to the evening performance put on by these two creative souls while their audience sat comfortably under the pergola in the backyard...

Hey Now...

Tavish has taken a keen interest in Smash Mouth's "All Star" song. Yes, the one that was popular in 1999... Anyway, this old songs has received many a new lyrics during this fall's session of creativity...

MOMENT: Monsters or Macaroni

As Tavish was singing the original version in the backseat, Keva joined right in "Hey now, you're a Monster..."

Tavish along with his buddies Riley and Zack, have given these tired lyrics an overhaul...

Somebody once told me, the world is macaroni
I took a bite out of a tree
It tasted kinda funny
So spat out a bunny
And the bunny starting throwing carrots at me...
A hundred years later,
He turned into Darth Vador
And he threw his light saber at me...
He missed by a meter
He hit Justin Bieber
And he started singing at me...

Little Thankfuls

We had a friend-full, thank-full feast for Thanksgiving this year...

Keva, Parker, Zach, Tav, Jack

MOMENT: Kids and a Feast

Our family joined Maggie and Lilly & Jack to celebrate Thanksgiving at Peggy, Jeremy, Zachary, and Parker's this year. The kids put on a silly show, ran around, hung out, and enjoyed fine food. So much to be thankful for.

Apple and Falls 2017

It's pretty much an annual outing since moving back to Toronto - we head off for the day to Niagara!

MOMENT: Apples and Water

We like to pick some fruit, watch some water fall, and fit in a little hike, it's tradition!

An apple for you...

An apple for me...

Whee! Ladder the highlight 

These two...

Time Travelling Monkeys

 It's true, you heard correctly, we have a child in a boy band.

MOMENT: Time Travelling Monkeys

These boys have an actual song, With lyrics. And, it is sort of catchy. Earlier this month, we are pretty sure Tavish was up in his room writing songs for the back that includes all the usual suspects: Jack (keyboard), Zach (drums), Charlie (bass), Riley (singer), Tavish (electric guitar). Riley created a logo with music notes and a stick figure monkey with a clock for a head...

Girls Trip to Long Point

Keva and I hit the road (and drove a bit far too) with some neighbourhood friends for a quick camping trip to catch the tail end of that summer feeling!

MOMENT: Long Point Fun

Rachel and Adelaide were up for an adventure, and adventure we did. We didn't stay too late on Sunday because of a tragic incident involving a burning marshmallow and Addie's cheek from the night before! The good news is that it all turned out okay and we can take the more positive memories away with us!

Jazz Dancer

We have a new jazzy dancer in the family! Keva is signed up for an after-school pick up program that ends with a jazz dance class. Needless to say, she is pretty excited about it...
