it's all fun and games

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...

beachin

wanna join us at the beach?

*warning this post and the others are a wicked photo over load!

moments in the vacay, the boys find the bed

peeking through the many rocks and such

boo

rock climbing and jumping was done

chris *gasp* went for a walk along the beach (then promptly went back to bed)

the cottage that we rented

ok. the summer house we rented

which was fully loaded. there was no "roughing it" done

we ate well (thanks dad!)

drank boat loads of coffee (thanks again dad!)

rested. walked and had a fabo time

the above pic was taken from this spot. the cottage was on the beach. at the most beautiful part of the island. i took the shot of the house, then turned around and snapped the beach shot. it was divine!

nate and nana i can just imagine what stories nate was telling

taking another stroll with nana

see those tiny, black spots at the top of the cliff? that would be shawn and quinn. nate had to join them...

see that tiny spot 1/2 way up the cliff? that would be nate

this would be shawn "helping" the boys down the hill

shawn is so helpful

he was still in "cop mode"

(shawn joined us a few days in the trip and left with chris a day early to get back to work)

nate spending some time with his "sister charlotte grace"

i give up trying to tell him that she is NOT his sister

we locked the boys out

we wanted quiet

who's afraid of the water? not nate. he got right on in (with rubber boots)

not that the boots helped much

hehe

"i love this place"

the rents

then we danced to some rocking veggie tales

and nana read some books

while chris and i enjoyed the crashing waves from the deck

it was beautiful

and dad joined us and i had someone other than me take my pic

a new day. nate again played and talked to his sister charlotte grace

then she smiled for me. i know the pic is under exposed but hey! she's a cutie! those blue eyes! that smile! me heart!

the boys were running machines. they ran. and ran. and ran. i call them running boys!

we let them run like this for 10 mins straight. then then went home and crashed for 2 hrs. wonder why? haha

in action

the best night evah. cry and i took off to "victoria by the sea" and watched a live stage play. it was simply amazing. there is much loss in the art of live drama. we enjoyed ourselves immensely. worth. ever. penny

we were also the youngest ppl there....by 50 yrs...haha

we saw "mesa" it was great. if you have the chance, next time you go to the island. check this play house out. i have enjoyed it every time! again, it's totally worth the $$$
