Spring 2011 in a flash

You may not recognize the boy in the following picture....

You are used to seeing him like this....(or not seeing him)

Joseph was able to get a lego set if he gave me sole custody of his hair length for a year! This means for the next year you will be able to see his handsome face .

Paddy, our dog, had her summer haircut as well. Greta seems to think she is getting a new dog whenever Paddy gets shaved.

Easter weekend we headed to Langley and had dinner with Great Grandma,

Easter dinner with my parents and a few siblings (sorry for the minuscule picture),

An Easter hike,

An Easter hunt,

Good times with our friends the Timms,

and another Easter hunt.... Thank you Timms!

Edwin and Joseph both performed their Concours D'art! They were awesome. Joe gave a report on the red fox, memorized and in French. ( my camera died just as he started )

Edwin sang "Si tu aimes le soliel" by himself and then did a number with his whole class where he and a friend danced around. It was AWESOME!

Ryan and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants thanks to Ryan's parents.

This weekend was a blurr. We had hoped to join our friends out at Scotch Creek but Ryan was violently ill and Joe wasn't feeling well either.

So, Edwin, Greta and I hiked Bluenose with our friends the Knauf's today. It was a great hike and had gorgeous views at the top.

Quotes

I want to keep better record of the funny things my kids say.

Edwin: "mom, you and dad make a cute couple!"

Greta: "this is big fun, mom!" (after coming down a slide)

Greta singing Wierd Al Yankovic's "Yoda"

Greta: kiwi pronounced "quew-y".

Edwin: " this is the best day ever!" or " this is the worst day of my life" can switch between the two within minutes.

Joseph: telling me he wants to become an inventor for peace and create a bomb to drop on anyone who won't stop fighting.

Joseph: "raise your hand if you like my cooking".
