trip photos .. set one

We enjoyed our mini holiday in Calgary last weekend and had a few fun stops along the way too. Looking back, the trip wasn't that painful. At the time it had its moments! We had two "cousin pit stops"! The kids had fun playing with Molly, Drew, Jack, and then Amy and Ella ... and great grandma. Photos from the next stage of the journey will have to wait.

happy belated mother's day to me

Keithan's kindergarten class hosted a Mother's Day tea on Monday. I was well entertained with songs and poems, shared in some activities and then was served lemonade and cupcakes and on the way out I received a lovely card and gift (which I forgot to take a picture of - homemade flower in a baby jar vase and a beaded bracelet). Prior to the event each student had to answer questions about mom - hilarious! Hope you can read it! I learned that I am 18 years old and love to watch Mom's Fight on TV. I take it from this that Keithan has a wilder imagination than I previously thought. Not even sure what "Mom's Fight" is, but I don't think I'd be interested! However, another mom was 92 years old, so I guess I'm not doing too badly!! And I also realized that I must hide my true self from my children ... since Keithan thinks my favorite thing to do is work!! Ha ... to be a kid again! Anyway, it was a nice mothers day, after mothers day!

We, or I should say I, survived Keithan's sixth birthday party! He had six friends over, plus 2 friends' siblings, plus his own 3 siblings ... which made for a WILD PARTY! The weather was not quite warm enough to for the kids to last outside for 2 hours so I thought it got a bit crazy at times! I think he invited all the class clowns, with one exception!! But, the kids had a great time and Keithan was sure it was his best party yet. We've been building Lego sets and looking for pieces ever since!
