Weekend Round Up:Easter Long weekend

Nothing tops a weekend except for a long weekend and what a long and busy weekend it was.  Friday started off just being a lazy day at home, but we were invited to go the aquarium with Dave sister and her family.  Logan had a great time there, watching him watch the dolphin show was worth the trip alone he was so excited clapping his hands every time they jumped.

Saturday Sam, Rob and Autumn came over to paint some Easter eggs, it has become a tradition over the past year.  This was the first year that Logan was able to paint his own eggs.

Sunday we had an Easter Egg hunt here, Logan was really excited to have some Chocolate before breakfast.  That afternoon we headed to my Moms.  My mom very generously has been hosting an Easter egg hunt for all the kids in our family for the last four years.

Monday we headed down to the states in hindsight we probably should of not gone since it was already such a busy weekend and both kids were in a horrible mood.  However the dollar is up and was to good not to pass up.  Fortunately the line was not that long going down and back so we were home before 2:00pm

Weekend Round Up: Swimming lesson, Dentist and the Zoo

This weekend was very busy our Saturday morning started by taking Ryleigh to her swimming lessons.  She enjoys being in the water just watching all the other babies just taking it all in.  After swimming lessons we had Logans very first dentist appointment at the PDG in Delta  http://www.pdgdental.com/dental/. As a child I went to the Richmond office and they always took very good care of me.  I was not to sure how it was going to go, he has been to the Drs plenty of times and its a hit and miss with him.  Like a big boy he hopped in the chair, he got kind of nervous as the hygienist lowered the chair back but we told him he was going to be all right.  The hygienist explained what was going to happen and he sat there happily watching Tangled as she polish, put fluoride on his teeth and flossed them.  Logan of course in between having all the instruments in his mouth talk the hygienist ear off.  The dentist came and we talk about his huge overbite and about the soother once again. Yes it will be gone after we get back from our trip in July. He did wonderully and we are so proud of him

 Sunday we headed to the Zoo with some friends, Logan was pretty excited about being there not so much for the animals but to run around.  Some of the animals were intresting to him but the best part for him was the train that we took.

Poor Dave pretty much had Logan on his shoulders the whole trip

After the zoo we headed back to our friends for dinner, it was a fun day but exhausting.

Weekend Round Up

I love weekends, it is two full days that I get to spend with my family.  My weekends are nothing like what they use in my late teens, early twenties =) but they are still just as fun.

On Saturday we a very sweet little boys first Birthday party.  My friends Karen and Jeff did amazing job decorating for Bennys birthday.  They had a great craft table for the kids and a lot of yummy food.

                I wish we could have got a pick of the center pieces on the table but by this time the kids were playing with them

The center pieces were a huge hit with all the kids

                                 

Ryleigh had such a great time she fell alseep

After the birthday party we went to my parents place (they are out of town) to take advantage of their Barbecue as we do not have one at our apartment and invited some friends to join us.

Sunday we ran errands in the morning. Came home so the kids could nap was going to go out again but Ryleigh surprised us by taking a 4 1/2 hour nap.

All and all pretty good weekend


                                       

Soothers

So I will admit it Logan still has his soother.  Yes he is on his way to three.  However in my defense he only use it for bedtime, naptime and on the rare occasion if comfort from Dave or myself does not work. His addiction started at about 4 months when I found his preferred soother, and so did the late nights of waking for it till he could learn to put it in his mouth.

 Now is the big question when is the time for him to give it up? How old is to old for a soother? Do we let him self wean or do we make him give it up? This is the question that Dave and I ask ourselves quite often.  So after the last discussion that we had regarding it we have given him till the end of July, we will be travelling to Nova Scotia the middle of July and would like him to have it on the plane. So for now we will let him have his beloved "sussie"

Prefect Madness

Prefect Madness this is my life from the moment my children wake up till they go to bed.  This is the life that I have wanted for as long as I could remember. So here I am jumping on the blog bandwagon... why you ask well I am not the best on keeping up with the milestones and what not that goes on with my children or our life as a family. I mean I still have not finished my two year old baby book and I have not even started my 5 months old ooopps. I often ask my mom about what I was doing at my childrens age and she can not remember.  I want to remember and  I want Logan and Ryleigh to be able to have memories of their childhood so with this blog I will be able to look back and relive the moments with them.  One of my favourite gifts that my mom gave me one Christmas was a scrapbook that she made for me with all these precious childhood crafts, report cards, projects, swimming lessons report cards and pictures.

I'm not any more interesting that anyone else who posts their personal information on the Internet however I have friends who write blogs, ones that check blogs  so now they can check mine. Also my spelling sucks and my grammar is even worse but this is supposed to be stream of conscience. My thoughts sure as hell don't know anything about grammar. So please excuse all that and hope you can look past that enough to read this blog.

Well I guess that is enough for now as Logan is screaming for attention, I will be back soon.
