This school year started with such a blur! I feel like we have been crazy busy ever since it started. I was promoted at work, which ended the seven year family daycare system. Henry now goes to daycare twice a week, to nana & papa once a week, and to a friend once a week. We are still getting the hang of the new schedule.
Leila's class
Stella's class
Leila and Stella at after school program
Henry finally got a turn to take a drive in uncle Rod's jeep!
Aunt Kerri's work had a kids wild run obstacle course that the girls went through.
Stella was willing to get a bit wet and dirty, but Leila was not as into it.
Jer took the kids downtown
After a great soccer practice or game, I forgot which, I took Leila to McDonald's for an ice cream cone.
She decided to go for the chocolate dipped one,
but it got really messy
really quickly :)
Just before the job change up, I babysat a my friend Robyn's 6 month old son, Juden, for the day - along with the usual suspects.
I forgot how much work babies are!! :) And fun to snuggle too!
Henry is my super helper. He loves to vacuum.
Leila's class at walk-a-thon for school
The girls got to walk with uncle Rod too.
We smelled a smell in the backyard. A really bad smell. We discovered fur under the crack of the board covering the side of the deck. When opened up, we discovered a possum had decided it looked like a peaceful final resting place.
Jer braved the stench and managed to lift the carcass into our yard waste bin.
Then it was time to head over to the high school for Homecoming Family Weekend.
There was free supper, kids games, petting zoo, and dunk tank.
The kids and I stood in line to make sure that uncle Rod got dunked!
They all missed and were too chicken to just push the button, so we had to let the next kid in line do our dirty work for us.
The next morning Jer and Ryan ran the 5k trail run and Jer placed first in his age group!
While the guys ran, the kids played on the field with friends and then did the kids run.
Stella found her friend Sawyer and stuck with her the rest of the morning, she even ate the free breakfast with Sawyer's family instead of us!
We went apple picking on a Saturday afternoon (Stella was having a play date with Norah, so she missed the fun).
We got a little over 70 pounds!
Stella's class went to the Nature Center on a field trip. Her favorite part was when a frog peed on one of the staff as she was showing it to the kids.
The girls are both doing soccer this year - which is one of the reasons we are so busy!
Stella was the goalie!
Her favorite position is either goalie or forward.
Leila needed some convincing to join the team again this year, but as the season has gone on, she is really starting to enjoy it and get in there!
Leila's favorite position is defense, goalie, or sitting out and cheering for teammates!
Stella had one game in the rain. She got quite soaked but did not seem to mind.
She even scored a goal!
Leila doing a throw in.
Stella in ready position.
Henry and I now have one day a week just the two of us. We spent a LONG time organizing our legos enough to find all the pieces to make this tow truck. :)
We had dinner downtown and stayed for the fire truck parade!
It was cold, but we stayed warm enough under our blankets in the truck bed :)
Jer decided it was time to teach the next generation the art of ping pong.
We may have a new world champion someday, you never know.
It was raining the other day when we got home from school, and since Stella was wearing her rain boots, she decided that she needed to run and find a puddle to jump in.
Henry is working on his selfie skills.
Stella stuck a Mr. Potatohead piece in her nostril. I had to laugh.
