What's New This Week

Bobs did a special Terry Fox run today with all the kindergarteners. Look who he chose to run for. Awww. I love how the teacher spelled Morfar.

Adult Birthday Party

Yes we need to paint that deck. It's well used.

Saturday night we went to an adult birthday party (Elliott's uncle) and brought along some hot wheels to share.

Polo shirts must be the birthday party attire for little boys. Bobs doesn't like to wear them anymore as he really dislikes the collar. He had picture day last week so I bought him a fresh new shirt, without a collar.

Mads had skating again on sunday and didn't do very well. He screamed and flailed for half the lesson, so Daddy took him off the ice and brought him home. That will be a funny story when he is an olympic gold medal speed skater....

Mads Goes to Skating Lessons

New Corn Maze in Town

Bobs Takes the School Bus

I have been driving Bobs each morning, but there has been a lot of traffic and I realized that we were contributing to the traffic. Now Bobs takes the bus in the mornings and I pick him up before lunch as the bus doesn't take them midday.

The bus driver was really nice and made sure Bobs posed for this picture.

Mads was really sad and grumpy to see his big brother go. Who is going to play hot wheels with him today?

Dinner & Sat Night Trip to Sundre

Tim came by for spaghetti dinner on friday night and brought bibs for spaghetti night from his childhood. It was hilarious. I wore his sister's bib.

Then he read his customary monster book.

The next day, we explored Sundre and Bergen area. It's just over an hour NW from Calgary.

It was pouring rain, so we headed indoors to a museum. A local man had all of his hunting trophy's on display donated to the museum. It was quite a surprise.

We ate at a few local restaurants.

The kids discovered bubble gum ice cream.

Then we drove around exploring cabin areas.

Our last stop was the Cochrane Ranche.

The rain let up the next morning.

Bobs' First Day of Kindergarten

Bobs was just as excited as we were. It's surprising how nervous us parents can get over the first day of kindergarten.

Bobs is in the morning class and there are two kindergarten classes at the same time. Both teachers also have the same name. How funny is that? To differentiate, as it is a French Immersion school, Bobs' teacher goes by Mme. Teresa and the other teacher goes by Mme. Therese.

Daddy was able to come for the morning drop off. We had a bit of confusion as to which door Bobs enters as each kindergarten class has a different door to enter.

Since Mads and I dropped Daddy off downtown, we decided to pay uncle H a surprise visit. Good thing he was home! We had coffee.

After running a few errands, Mads and I came back to pick Bobs up and met a bunch of other parents in the meantime.

They have planted a nice garden on the grounds.

Mads has already made some friends. Reminds me of the friends I made in kindergarten and that I am still friends with. I think one friend that I still have and had was truly the first person I spoke to in my class.
