5 Little Pumpkins (October 27, 2010)

Five little pumkins sitting on a gate

The first one said "Oh my, it's getting late!"

The second one said "There are witches in the air!"

The third one said"But we don't care!"

The fourth one said "Let's run and run and run!"

The fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun!"

Then "Wwooooooo!" went the wind

And (clap) OUT went the lights

And the Five little pumkins rolled out of sight!

Mother Duck said Quack Quack Quack QUACK!!! (October 21, 2010)

"We're going on a Duck Hunt,

we're going to catch a BIG ONE!

What a beautiful day--we're not SCARED!

Uh-oh! A River!

A deep COLD river!

We can't go over it, we can't go around it--We'll have to go THROUGH it!

Splishy-sploshy, splishy-sploshy, splishy-sploshy!"

(For other versus [grass! mud! a forest! a swirling whirling snowstorm!] see the book 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt")

"Five little ducks went out one day

over the hills and far away.

Mother Duck said Quack Quack Quack Quack,

but only 4 little ducks came back."

(Four, three, Two, One and Sad Mother Duck)

But definately the best part of going on a Duck Hunt is splashing in the puddles!!!

Thank you! (October 7, 2010)

Today was my birthday (my 3rd anual 29th birthday-HA!) and we had a really fun day!

Thank you to my mom and dad who picked Amelia up from school and gave me the gift of 2 hours of quiet time while the other kids were napping! AND brought Amelia home with a delicious chocolate zucchini cake (complete with candles) that we all shared for snack.

And a giant thank you to all of my other lovely moms and dads who pitched in to give me a fabulous birthday gift! I can't wait to get my pedicure- what a treat! and it will be hard to choose when browsing in the kids section at Chapters. What a lucky lady I am to have such wonderful families!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Hello Fire-Fighter! (October 1, 2010)

Today we went for a neighbourhood walk around the block and to buy some apples at Sobey's.
We met some firefighters doing their grocery shopping, and they let us look at their big firetruck! Hailey even got to climb up into the drivers seat! (Everyone else was too scared!)
On the way home we saw Jim, the postman, filling his truck with parcels.
What an exciting neighbourhood walk!

I have a picture on my phone, I just haven't figured it out yet...

Nighty-night dolly!

Hailey is involved in some dramatic play. She is wrapping all the dolls in blankets and tucking them into toy boxes while singing "twinkle-twinkle" to them!

Happy Birthday Brody! (September 23, 2010)

Today we celebrated Brody's 2nd Birthday!
What a big boy you are!
I just know you are going to grow up to be the super-hero you dream to be!
We all loved sharing some cupcakes with you for your special day!

Welcome Olivia! (September 7th 2010)

Today we welcomed Olivia to our home!

She is a sweet little pea and all the munchkins just adore her!

They think it's especially funny how she eats her lunch!

mmm yummy carrots!

We can't wait to get to know you, Olivia!
