Stella and Dot

Emily and Carmen's mom came over and presented a Stella and Dot trunk show. It is fashionable jewelry that is sold kind of like Avon, but much funner.

A few friends were able to make to to the event that also doubled as a playdate.

The moms were able to shop while the babies were carried around.

Happy Birthday Emily!

We had such a beautiful day today. First we had lunch at Mormor and Morfar's.

We blew bubbles and played in the park.

Then we went to Emily's birthday where she was surprised with a pony. It was a Western themed party and there were little stations all over the backyard for kids to play with.

Bobs was too scared to ride on the pony.

Mads stayed in the ball pit the entire party. Unfortunately the batteries in my camera went dead so I only took photos from the start of the party.

Bobs was afraid to ride on the pony. We had oreo chocolate cupcakes to celebrate. In two weeks it will be Bob's turn for a party!

Happy Birthday Aiden!

I got the boys all dressed up in their party shirts for Aiden's 1st birthday in Airdrie. Their family has just moved into a brand new house.

Mads is just a month and a bit older than Aiden. You might remember that Bobs wore this shirt and sweater vest to Ujal's wedding nearly two years ago.

Bobs knew the birthday routine - that there would be cupcakes or cake. He didn't want to eat anything else. Aiden's dad is Daddy's friend from university. It's nice how most of his friends have kids the same age. More so than my friends.

The live near a big new mall called Cross Iron Mills. We decided to stop in for supper at the Food Court since Daddy has never been there before. It was a bit of a disaster though. We didn't have a stroller and we rented this cute cart. The boys enjoyed the cart for about 5 minutes and then Mads wanted out. Bobs didn't want to sit in the cart unless Mads was sitting behind him. It was around 7:00 pm and time to go home anyways. I noticed many other kids at the mall were also having meltdowns.

Tomorrow we are headed to another birthday party! Hopefully I remember my camera as I hear there is going to be a real live pony there!

Long Weekend & Cookies

We stayed in the city for the long weekend and we tried to fly a kite twice. Once we had a bit of success when a neighbourhood kid helped us out.

Tuesday, Daddy was back at work and the boys and I baked "healthier" chocolate chip cookies from Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica's book.

These cookies have chick peas in them and you can't even taste it.

A friend and her baby came over for a visit so I had a nice snack to serve with coffee.

Toddler Train and Jump n' Jive

Every friday morning, both kids are registered for programs at Westside Rec Centre. Bobs is in Toddler train, where I can leave him for an hour and a half.

Mads has a Jump n' Jive class for half an hour, and then afterwards there is an open gym for other kids to join us. He really loves to just play with the balls.

It took Bobs a few weeks to enjoy his class without me hovering. Now the teachers say he is one of the best behaved kids in the class.

He loves to hold onto the coloured donuts to walk from class to the gym.

It's fun that both boys can be together at some point.

He always makes sure to grab onto the purple donut before they get ready to walk back to class and to collect the crafts they made and their unfinished snack.

Has Bobs changed much? He still enjoys his naps.
