 nate was thrilled to get his package nana and papa
he even opened ellie and was excited to have a matching shirt
ellie was too busy climbing up to grab her "shoesssss"

 and tried to put them on

 she loves shoes and putting them on means going outside. she loves, adores being outside!

 the kids spend sometime bowling. QUINN beat everyone! yeah quinn!
charlie loved to press the button, over and over

 on the way home we got a call from jess who spotted a kijiji find in the sackville area, we detoured and picked it up for her
some how a preggo and a sister with super power strength got this HEAVY, solid vanity into the back of the van

 ok cry did most of the lifting and shoving...i helped hold it and shoved it a bit

voila. this thing has got to weight well over 100 pounds! we did it, sister power....with all the kids screaming in the van....sigh 0 comments
