A Good Time, Not a Long Time

The much anticipated Spring Neigbourhood Crawl was on Saturday night, the night after I was hit with the flu!! Seriously???? I haven't been sick all winter, and I get the flu the weekend of the crawl. Most of you know, I am not a very good sick person. Very whiny, need a lot of attention, but considering I had planned this outing I needed to make an appearance. All in all, I was a trooper!! I didn't last long, but I did try my best!

And I lost five pounds because of the flu.. Loves it!!

Yep, I think our neighbours are comfortable around each other... or maybe just our crazy frenchies??? HA!!

Christine the lush....

The boys.... Brooker and Coolio

Me sucking up trying to get Brooker to do a show about the filthy state of our classrooms : ) His reply... people hate teachers!!

Carmela looking for some braised pork...

Who is that new guy Bruce?? HA!!

Lucky!

Our trio of kindergarten friends that grew and just couldn't move away from each other :)

Jill and Jody at our Hawaiin themed stop!

Matt our resident pilot!!

The twins.... Theo and Tony

and.... Meaghan being Meaghan! Meaghan is always up for a good time! At least she didn't fall off the stool this time.

So much fun!! Can't wait till the next one in the summer!

This and That!!

Mr. Social!! If you can't find Tony, look outside... he is sure to have found a neighbour to chat with!

Just curious... are there weight limits on slides!!! HA!! just teasing Brad

Me and Jen! It was nice that Stitts were able to get out and join us for the birthday celebration in our backyard.... and we love it when the twins come to visit!

More funny faces! Owen is actually asking me to take his picture but only to make funny faces!

Celebrating Isabelle's 40th birthday!

April feels a little bit like a blur... as usual our schedule is full, we were kept busy just the way we like it!

a little shopping in Watertown with the girls... should have bought that hat!! HA!

The weather is incredible and we have been able to get outside and play. On many occasions our backyard is full with the neighbours enjoying the sun and fun. This summer is great. The boys are just that much older and Tony and I will actually be able to sit, instead of having to stay close to the boys.
Neighbourhood cake break at the Brookers!

Griffy trying out his new swim googles in the tub... pretty cute!

I Believe

At bed time Owen loves to have one of us sing to him to the song "I Believe" from the Olympics changing the lyrics to be about him.

Last night I stood outside his bedroom while Tony was putting him to bed and I heard Owen tell him he was going to sing to him tonight.

The song went like this:

I believe that daddy wants a nice truck
I believe mommy wants my kisses
I believe mommy and dad are the best
I believe that they got married
and that is cool
there wedding picture is cool
I believe that daddy is the best hockey coach
I believe mommy is a great watcher
I believe daddy is the best animal rescuer
I believe daddy loves to go to work when
I go to school and Griffy goes to Nancy’s
I believe I love my mommy and daddy

Love it!

Owen'isms'

Owen has been saying the funniest things lately.

For instance, while we were having dinner one night, he was asked if he wanted a popsicle or ice cream and he replied "x-nay on the ice cream, I want a popsicle".
Are you kidding me, what four year says x-nay!!

While driving to school one day last week, Owen was discussing his upcoming birthday party. He told me he was going to have a pet party and that only people with pets could come. So, I asked him if his brother could come and he said "sure, he's in the family so he can come, but if he wasn't in the family he couldn't come!"

Tony announced to Owen that Marci was coming to visit last Thursday. Owen said "aha, I know what she is coming here for, she just wants your coffee dad!"

When Owen grows up he wants to be a "stranger"

Owen has had many questions about being a father lately, finally he announced "When I grow up, I don't want to get married, I just want to be a plain old dad!"

His favourite colour is black...

And he wipes off my kisses at the bus!

Too Funny!

The Twins Arrived!

Welcome to the neighbourhood
beautiful Henry and Ben!

Surprise Party

Last night my neighbourhood girlfriends surprised me with a birthday party... yes me!! Not too many people are able to pull a surprise off on me, but they did it, and I LOVED it!!!

As much as I love planning a party, its also great to have one thrown for you as well. Thank you to my good friend Jen that did most of the planning while nearly giving birth to the two 6 pound boys in her stomach!!

Love this neighbourhood, love my friends.
Thanks ladies!
