Last Day of Summer

I had my last day at my old job today and got home early to relieve Mormor. When Bobs had a bath, he wrote Hot Wieuls and showed me. I didn't correct him. I think he did a great job!

I tried getting them outside all afternoon, but it wasn't until nearly sunset that they wanted to play in the backyard.

We picked and tasted some of our neighbour Chris' apples. Tomorrow there is a street party in the park next to our house. The weather is going to be great and the kids are going to enjoy playing with all the other neighbourhood kids.

Bobs was running around looking at leaves. He showed me that he found some really really big ones. They were big indeed as they were the rhubarb leaves.

Mads ran around shouting "run away!"

He also ordered me around to run away from him.

Bobs wanted me to take a picture of him and immediately send it to someone! He knows we live in an instantaneous media world.

Swimming and Dinner Party

Bobs is back in swimming classes. This time at a place closer to us. Mads didn't get registered as all the toddler classes were full.

Mads was a bit upset by not being able to go into the pool until I let him play with his hot wheels in the viewing area. I also promised him a treat from the bakery after. He said "yay! BIG snack!"

Bobs chose a chocolate croissant and Mads chose a banana chocolate chip scone.

The are usually pretty good buddies. They like to snuggle together now more than they like to snuggle with me. Mads hits Bobs a lot though. Hopefully it's a short phase.

I planned a dinner party for people I hadn't seen in awhile.

We had chicken, green salad, baby potatoes and buns with lemonade and brownies.

Baby Declan came. Mads was very interested in him. He also tried to share a hot wheel with him.

Elliott and the other kids disappeared in the basement.

Wedding

As we wait for a new camera, we have some phone photos in the meantime from last weekend when we went to Cross Iron Mills.

On saturday night, we went to a wedding and Mormor and Morfar had the boys overnight. The wedding venue was at the Lougheed House downtown and in the basement, there was an art show where one of Mormor's weavings was on display.

The bride and groom couldn't have picked a better day for an outdoor wedding.

Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

I had the day off today so I went to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary with my friend Nikki and her kids. It was a beautiful day.

Labour Day

We had KK and JJ and KC over for supper on labour day. They have all been talking about each other and how much they miss each other.

Bobs starts in a new preschool class tomorrow morning where blankets are not allowed, and you no longer get to nap.

Bragg Creek and Griffith Woods

Sadly, I broke our camera today in Bragg Creek. I dropped it on some rocks by the river. Maybe we will recover the photos, but for now, I have some ipod photos from our friday hike in nearby Griffith Woods. The boys were amazing. We decided to hike from the Constructed Wetlands by our house all the way to Griffith. I think it's around 2 km's.

I ran back to where the car was parked and parked it at the end of the walk to meet them.

Today we went to Elbow Falls just past Bragg Creek, and then to a playground in Redwood Meadows.

We are out of ideas for what to do tomorrow. Any ideas? Heritage Park? Farmer's Market? It's rather windy out, but otherwise the weather has been beautiful.
