A Masterpiece or so he thought...

The other day Emma and Kael had done some painting, but did not put the paints away like I had asked... (nothing new) now Max can get wherever he wants in his walker and he made his way over to the kids table to find what they had left behind usually some little morsel ... and this is what he found, while I was busy making dinner...
When saw him I gasped and startled him ...



But I reassured him it wasn’t his fault but the fault of his careless brother and sister who left the paints where he could reach them and then he was ok to pose for some pics ...

Peace and Quiet...!

Growing up, every time mother’s day came around, we would ask our mom what she wanted for mother’s day and she would always say... Peace and Quiet...! We always thought, why the heck would you want that? We were willing to get her whatever she wanted that was within our meagre means...
of course...

Now I understand...

Happy Mother’s Day Mom...

A nice breeze blew...

A nice breeze blew in the other day, so the kids thought it would be a good day to fly a kite... here is some video...

Making of a Bed... part II

Well, it's done... I was going to sand and paint but I was stuck in the house for 3 days due to rising flood waters. So Kaelen finished it, all on his own.(not that I didn't think he could) We set it up last night, fits perfect and looks great...
Thank You dear...you're great!!!!!!!!

Next...sand and paint the dresser and nightstands to match... then the bedroom...

row, row, row your boat gently down the stream

Well, we’ve had a lot of snow this year, then a lot of rain. Now we have a lot of flooding... as you can see (by the pictures below) the water has washed out the road the only road from our house to civilization... The neighbours have offered anyone wanting to cross the use of their boat... They say it should be driveable in a day or two... we’ll see... meanwhile we will hold up in the house and send Kaelen out for groceries...

Becoming Gardeners

We have decided to start a garden this year. Kaelen is going to build a greenhouse after all the snow goes away. but we wanted to get an early start on things so we planted some things inside the house. including Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and Zucchini among other things.

Here is the status of our garden...

Kael-b and the Tim-b's

Kael loves to get timbits on Fridays when he comes with me to town to pick up Emma from pre-school. for those non-canadians, timbits are doughnut holes from our local Tim Hortons.

This is one of his favorite Friday activities...
