Ball Hockey Dude

 Griffin started ball hockey tonight, and he LOVES it!!  and is really good!!

In case you are wondering what makes him so good??

Simple... his super fast running shoes!!!

You wouldn't have found a bigger smile in the arena tonight, Griffin loved every minute of it!!

Go Griffin!

Awesome

Bought this new kitchen gadget this weekend!

Love it!

A melon cutter, that makes cutting up fruit a snap!

They can be found at Loblaws stores!

Rainbow Connection

Griffin is learning about the water cycle in class.  Today he made a rainbow :)

Book Club

 This month our neighbourhood book club read the book "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks.

My pic, my turn to host :)

I made the cutest book club banner and snack cones out of book pages. Of course we had to have a picture of  Zac Efron the lead character from the movie adaptation.

Lots of good discussion, of course a trivia question and game, and talk of what book to chose for our next book club!

Mom, can we make a craft??

 Griffin loves to make crafts and projects, and today was no different.

For a twist, we decided to make a tic tac toe game out of a little candy container.

The boys have been loving playing the game, and they are really good, understanding strategies, and even beating us once in a while!

So what better than to make a traveling self contained tic tac toe game.

We had lots of fun making and playing!

Earth Day Tree Planting

 We celebrated Earth Day by participating in our neighbourhood park's tree planting. We are fortunate, to have had the city plant 500 trees and 500 plants in our park this weekend.  More importantly, they have taken a wooden, non-usable park and turn it into a cleared park with walking trails and lots of fun for the boys.  I am certain that over the years, our boys will have a great time, exploring, playing hide and seek, and whatever else they come up with.

Earth Day is everyday, but today we spent the time sharing with Owen and Griffin just how important the little things can be when we all pitch in and help!

Owen Rocks Grade One

 Owen loves school, and is doing so well this year!  This year during Earth Day, Owen and his class were able to plant some flowers.  He is very serious about this endeavour, and is concerned about who will take care of his plant when he passes and no longer will be able to take care of it.... gosh, I wish I had the green thumb he dreams of!

Owen also rocks his spelling tests!  Perfect week after week, including his bonus words.
How do you spell STAR??  Owen!!!

Way to go!!
