After Daycare

After work and daycare, I usually bring the kids right home, or go to the grocery store with them.

Then we have supper and we play. Sometimes outside and sometimes inside.

Mads is really into Weee ooh Weee Ooh's (any emergency vehicle).

And Bobs loves to draw and work on activity books. He loves to write his name and have his last name initial "S" at the end. There is another boy in his class at daycare with the same name, spelled the same way!

Bobs drew this all by himself. It's my favourite drawing of his. I love the E!!!

Saturday Morning Soccer

Fishing

Bobs and his BFF JJ went fishing on the weekend at Prince's Island Park.

May Long

Mads was not feeling well this morning, so Daddy and Bobs went to soccer without us.

By afternoon, Mads was feeling better and we went to the Constructed Wetlands across Glenmore from our community to check out the birds. Then we went out for supper ( which was a disaster of course ), and played in the backyard.

Happy Mother's Day

We had Mormor over for Mother's Day brunch. We got up and prepared the back deck, and waffles, sausages, berries and watermelon.

Mads got syrup, berries and water all over himself a few times, so had a few outfit changes.

Today is one of the warmest days of the year so far so we were happy to be outside for brunch.

After brunch we went for a walk and played at the park.

Morfar is still in Germany but will be coming back next week in time for Father's day next month.

Soccer and 2 birthday parties!

Bobs got to start his first soccer team experience on saturday. He and his friend Jake from the neighbourhood are on "the green dinosaur princesses" team.

There were over 200 kids, not including parents, on the field on saturday morning. It took 10 minutes to find our team.

As expected, Mads was jealous of all the ball playing. We visited a nice dog, and let him play with balls on the sidelines.

Mads spent a lot of time behind the net. Next year he will be able to play on this team.

The last 30 mins was a scrimmage, and Bobs and Jake did very well, except when they reached down for the ball with their hands. No cheating!

Immediately after the game, we headed to Airdrie for a Aiden's 2nd birthday party.

It was Mickey Mouse themed and the weather was beautiful for a backyard party.

Mads and Bobs awaited a piece of cake politely.

And scarfed it down.

We went home for a nap, and then headed to Casey's 2nd birthday party. In 2010, I knew four kids who were born in mid May.

Kristin set up a fun backyard play area and decorated everywhere with pretty green and blue.

Kris and Sarah came as well after their day of ATVing.

She made amazing turkey burgers and a layered chocolate cake.

My kids had cake twice in one day! I had some of Aletta's Dutch apple pie and it was heavenly. Daddy had the chocolate cake because the pie had raisins in it.

Mads loves sandboxes. We have a water table that has a sand side to it that we should fill up. It was a nice saturday. Today we celebrate Mother's Day with my mom for brunch.
