Soccer & more

Ethan started soccer today and he had a blast.
The class is 30 minutes long but 20 minutes in, the kids were losing their steam.

They started with a warm-up, including stretching, balancing and crawling through tunnels.

Ethan was so proud of himself and cannot wait for Wednesday.
(the next class)



Dann's mom collected many (over 100) salt & pepper shakers over the years and now Dann has them.  
He wants to sell them on e-bay, so he took photos of them all.

I picked out a few of my favorites...

"Old drunk hobo by his bottle of moonshine"







While my mom was visiting this past weekend we took the kids to the movie...
"Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs"

It was in 3-D and a great family show.

The kids loved their 3-D glasses!!


Anyone who knows me knows I am fairly organized. 
This past weekend I went into Emma's room to do a little PURGING!!
She is a huge "Pack-Rat" and every 4-6 months I have to go in and clean out the junk.  Everything is labelled but somehow never seems to end up back in it's place.

Needless to say I was sorting & purging for 5 hours
(notice the labeling machine in the centre of the mess)!

Emma always has a melt down when I start but is so happy when I am finished.  
She loves organization as much as I do.

Every bin & container is labelled...
I possibly need meds... lol!

Maybe I should quit my day /night job and become a professional organizer!

Emma started her music class this past week.
The class is based on keyboard, voice, theory & songs.
I hope she enjoys it!

school starts

Emma started grade "1" with flying colours.
Emma was very excited about her first day of school and no tears were shed by Emma or Mom.
I guess we were all ready for her to take the next step.

She is getting so tall... 

Of course, Ethan had to get in the photo shoot too.
I think Ethan thought he was starting school and he was so excited to walk with Emma to her classroom.  
Unfortunately, Ethan may have shed a few tears when we walked home alone. 

Dann was getting creative with the camera.  
Ethan likes the sound of his voice when his ears are under water in the tub.

There is a new park in town and the kids love going to play there.


Emma loves her new hat that Jenny made for her.
I think she looks fabulous in it!


I love this photo...
my baby looks so grown-up!!
