It's getting Hot!

We are cooling off by sitting on the shady side of the house and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. I know it is not as hot here as it is on the east side of Canada, but it is still hot for me!

We found Mads' twin. His name is Theo and his granny is one of Mormor's best friends. They were at the CBC Stampede breakfast with us this morning.

Theo has an older brother Zack that Bobs can play with.

Bobs really does copy what his parents do. We had fish on the frying pan last night for dinner so he made the same thing for himself.

Baby Legs

Have you seen "Baby Legs" before? Mads got them as a gift. They are pretty handy to go with a diaper shirt onesie. They also fit Bobs and can be used in toilet training. I know they are kind of girly. Jamie was a bit taken aback when he saw Bobs wearing them last night when he came home from work.

I am getting things packed up for our long weekend in Kimberley. We hope to get to a lake beach while we are there so we can feel some semblance of being on summer vacation. Many of our friends are vacationing right now.

B&M

The Zoo

We went to the Zoo today as a family because Jamie had the day off. Bobs knows the Zoo better than we do because he has been many times with Mormor. He kept shouting "butterfly!" when we entered glass buildings, so we had to find out which glass building the butterflies were in.

We talked to a few moms who were eyeing up our double stroller. One already had the same one and the other had hers on order. They were curious about how we liked our etc... it was funny. Some people bond over their love for the same car, and us, the stroller.

We hope to go again at the end of the month when K-E-Household visits.

Erik shouted very loudly "here kitty cat!! Kitty cat!" When he saw the tiger. Daddy told him not to do that if he ever saw one in the wild.

Happy Birthday Jamie

Uncle Tim came over to meet Mads and play with Bobs. He also brought a nice birthday cake for Jamie. We looked at Tim's recent travel photos from Europe. I really had to laugh at Tim... I told him to definitely try some Danish ice cream, a hot dog from the hot dog stand, and most definitely a Danish from a bakery there. So what does Uncle Tim do? Well, he got my e-mail of suggestions right after finishing his supper at McDonalds in central Copenhagen. So he went and found some ice cream at.... Ben and Jerry's!! That is not authentic Danish. Sheesh!!

We had been to the library earlier in the day and Bobs is always looking for "truck book" that he once read when we were there and I didn't bring it home. He was upset with me for not bringing it home that time... We did find a train book very similar to truck book so he is now happy with that.

Another new favourite past time is play dough.

The Evolution of the PB Sandwich

It is Jamie's birthday today so I made cupcakes and found some sprinkles to make them look extra special and festive.

Then I remembered my next door neighbour Kevin used to like bread with butter and sprinkles on them as a treat. He was about 5 at the time. I remembered them well so I made one for Erik who hasn't been eating much over the past few days. I think his molars are coming in. He has been quite irritable.

Well he liked the look of the butter and bread but he didn't eat it. He asked for Peee-at Buuh- er. I made him a peanut butter sprinkle toast. He had two bites and made sure to pick off all the sprinkles.

Canada Day

We celebrated Canada at Bowness Park like last year, but this year with Mormor and Morfar instead of Grandma and Grandma. Unfortunately the weather was cold. It was around 13 degrees and I thought it was warmer. I was freezing. Oh well... at least we had good company.

Not much else is planned. It is a lot of work just to go out once a day with two little boys. ;)
