This may be what Sunday Pictures will become.

Chancery is wearing her fleece since she is cold, & hiding in her fort.

 

IMG_7758

But she wants you to take note of her pretty toes.

“I’ve never looked prettier!” she told me.

 

IMG_7759

Asher was also cold, so he’s wearing his fleece as well.  He’s also locked himself away with a book until his grumpy attitude passes.

A Lego book seems to be the cure!

Pre-Olympics Teaser

If the Olympics were all like this, I would probably be more likely to watch…  I wonder if they still do things like this?

 

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

Nice kitty!

We found Asher & Thanet enjoying a relaxing afternoon awhile back.

 

Asher was on his DS, ‘petting’ Thanet with his feet.

 

Both seemed to be enjoying the other’s company.  It doesn’t happen often!

Last Day of Kindergarten

Remember these pictures from September?
IMG_6208
Asher’s first day of Kindergarten
IMG_6209
A little help from Chancery?
IMG_6211

Well, we made it through the year!  I didn’t remember to take the last day of school picture until after school was over for the day.  Asher wanted to show all the things he’d brought home that day.
IMG_7722
He’s wearing a badge that says “Congratulations on getting to grade one!”  It is a milestone that I wasn’t sure we’d get to at some points this past year!  Now we have the whole summer to celebrate!

A Bad Combination

The kids & I met up with some friends at a park last week.  They don’t live in town, so we don’t see them all that often, & it seemed the kids needed to learn how to play nicely together without creating problems for each other.

 

At one point Chancery came over to JJ & I & reported, “The boys are not playing nicely!  They are playing pirates, & we are playing kitties, & it’s not working!”

 

It was clear to see that those two games would not work out well, as JJ pointed out, “Of course not!  Pirates usually have parrots, not kitties!”

Asher: “Did everyone notice what is sitting beside me on the couch?”

 

IMG_7736

Asher: “It’s a book about Lego stuff!”

 

IMG_7734

Asher: “It’s a bit like a normal book, but all the pictures are Lego!”

 

IMG_7737

Chancery: “Asher read a few of the stories to me in the car yesterday, but I wasn’t listening very well because I was pretty tired, so I was singing to stay awake.”

 

IMG_7738

Asher: “She sings some funny songs when she’s tired!”

Classic…

Remakes are never as good as the originals, but this music video is pretty clever!

 

 

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Consequences

I had put Chancery to bed for her nap, & after about 10 minutes of ‘barking’ from her room, I went up to investigate.  She knows she is not supposed to be loud, but to sleep, so since her stuffed puppy Ginger seemed to be such a distraction, I took it away from her.

 

After I took Ginger away, I went into the washroom.  I could hear Chancery calling out to me in distress

 

“Mummy!  Did you put Ginger in the toilet?”

 

I’m a pretty strict Mum, but I wouldn’t go that far!

Best Old Navy Commercial!

And no creepy talking mannequins!   I used to be quite a big fan of New Kids on the Block, so after seeing this ad, I just had to share it!

Asher’s 6th Birthday

Friday morning, Asher walked into our room & announced, “Hello, it’s my birthday!  Where are my presents?”

IMG090
And a Good Morning to you too!  I gave him one gift before school, PJD Motorcycle shirts that matched the shirts we gave PChad for Father’s Day.  He was super excited about that.  I probably could have gotten away with that being his gift, but there was more to come!

IMG_7692We had cake after dinner, Asher had asked for a train cake, but the only one I could find was Thomas.  I figured he was a bit old for that, so I chose a Transformers one instead.  But just before we had cake he told me he wanted a Spiderman cake, so I don’t think it mattered either way.

Then, it was time for gifts!










IMG_7697
Yumi gave Asher a kite, & some Lego.

He got a map of the States & the World from Grandpa & Grandma V.

Asher had a great birthday, & really enjoyed his family birthday party.  He told a lady at church that he felt much older the next day.  He is six afterall!

Traumatic Event

On this little island, there are quite a few foods that we can’t get.  I am used to it a bit, since moving from the States, & having lived in England for awhile, there are certain foods that we have grown attached to, but are simply not available in Canada.  However, there are numerous things that we have discovered which seem to be in other parts of Canada, just not on PEI.

gg

 

My friend Natasha told me earlier in the week that she had found Golden Grahams at one of the grocery stores, so after dropping Asher off at school, Chancery & I stopped to pick up a box, since it is one of PChad’s favourite cereals.

 

I parked the car, & got out.  I opened Chancery’s door, & started to unbuckle her seatbelt when she started yelling at me, “No, I don’t want to go in there!  This is the store with the yucky food!”

 

A few months ago, I had bought a package of pitas which had a huge mouldy spot on them, & apparently Chancery remembered the incident, & thought all the food in the store was of the same quality.

 

“We are just here to get some cereal,” I told her.  “The cereal here is good!  They have Golden Grahams!”

 

“Just the bread is yucky?” she asked.

 

I don’t think she will ever be willing to buy a loaf of bread from that particular store…
