it's all fun and games

ursi

this will make perfect sense to ursi. blogs are wonderful. esp when hotmail won't let you email pic's...

ursi- the above pic is the media room with the bed and couch

there is also room for a playpen

aqua room. the couch with the cushions off...it's low to the ground

other side of the same room. a play pen can also be brought in.... that's the general lay out

for everyone who is wondering....haha. my sis in law is coming for a visit and we are working on the sleeping arrangements :)

last night nate told me "come quick mommy. i have to show you something" and being the great mom that i am, i told him "in a minute. i am busy" then 5 mins later i hear "mommieee come quick. i have to show you something" and again. i told him "i am busy" finally. an HOUR later nate comes to me and takes my hand, pulls me to the stairs, points to ursi's picture on the wall of pics and says "mommy. that is aunty ursi. see" so i grabbed my camera and snapped a pic

"see mommy. aunty ursi"

the one who made nate his blanket. the blanket he has slept with. every. single nap and night...from 7 days old until now

i asked chris to pop some lunch in the micro for nate. our convo went like this

me-chris, would you toss some lunch in the bowl for nate?

chris- what should i give him?

me-the stewy/soupy creation from the crock pot. that is in the fridge

chris-how much should i give him?

me- use his reg bowl

chris- its in the micro, i am going down stairs now

me-thanks

beep. beep. lunch is ready! i pull out the bowl out of the mirco. the blue bowl. the bowl that chris uses. note how much is in there???!!!

i went and grabbed nate's reg bowl. filled it with his normal serving. then had enough left over for me. haha

crack me right on up!

i love you chris!

home again!!!

"i tooted"
a new day. a new hair due, thanks to aunty melly

quinn and nate sharing

yeah right

thanks dad now they know this thing MOVES when you put money in it!

too much cuteness

nate checking on charlie, making sure she's o-okay

sniff. nate was once that tiny in that car seat

my parents are boozers

i kid. dad collects bottles for the breaky club at the local jr. high...he is spending his retirement volunteering everywhere

aunty's here!

why so fast nate?

aunty lets him drive the truck

we are home in moncton. i came home last night and haven't stopped since! it's emails, phone calls, mail, errands and general life busyness....that's what happens when you leave for 2 wks!

i asked chris to help nate wipe his butt this afternoon

i walked around the corner and saw this

hahaha

this is how chris wipes his butt. i don't do it this way. i don't think i have laughed this hard in a LONG time!

*yes, i do still wipe nate's butt. he can't reach all the way back there and i like my kid clean.

the color wheel!

this bad baby is a brain fart of mine from a few wks ago. i took a circle, colored it, then colored the cloths pins and created a wheel for nate to match the pin to the right color. it taught him his colors. as he matches he tells me the color. he LOVES it. it's so easy to use and takes 2 mins to finish (his exact attention span)

seriously. he knows his colors from this bad boy!

whee

quinn was delighted to push nate around

playing tim's drive through...what else?

nate "single, single for mommy"

quinn "dbl, dbl for daddy"

sad but true

last night on the way home nate told me "mommy, i was a good boy tonight. can we go to tim's for a single, single and a chocolate timbit for me? we don't tell daddy"

heehee

*yes, i did hit tim's

no ducks

really, no ducks

tree hugger

quinn's first day ever for school!

yeah!

cry (btw for those newbies, cry is my sister) took quinn to school. i stayed home and hung out with charlie girl

she loves me. i am her most fav aunty. ever

i did note that quinn did "put away" his toys, he did not wash, dry or put away his dishes. i think he simply ran out of time and thought he would finish them after school....ha

charlie girl came along for the pick up

k...see that teeny, tiny boy sitting ever so quietly, legs crossed waiting for his name to be called

that would be quinn

only teacher jane could get him to sit that quietly, for that long!

"quinn" and boom. look at him jump up and run!

he had a GREAT time. he loves school, adores his teacher mrs. corbin. he showed off his craft and told us all about his day

"i did good today mommy! can i have my worm?"

*yes we did bribe him with candy

"hi charlotte. did you miss me?"

quinn had a great day at school and i am so happy to be there! yeah quinn!

boo moncton for not having a preschool that does not cost me more than my mortgage

we have a future worship leader on our hands! nate showed us his wicked pipes last night...
