One step closer to SUMMER!!!!!

Daddy has been working TOO much lately, so he has 5 days off in a row!!  WOO HOO!!! (Now, he has to work at home because we've got lots to do!!)  We worked at getting sand and levelling the ground yesterday for our new pool.  It was quite easy to put up, thankfully, we work well together.  We called for some water to be delivered and can't wait to get it going and enjoy summer!!!

Feeling hot hot NOT!!!

WHAT THE H#^$???!?!?!  Yup...only in Canada...gotta love it!! Hats and mitts were worn today...

Happy Mama's day to you all!!

Mine started with some goodies on the table...Although Mark had to work today, he left me a beautiful orchid and card (with some money for shopping;) and I had been given 2 mini rose bushes from Shirley and George...very thoughtful!  Daddy had also given the girls each a kite, he's awesome!

 And Maddie laid out all her goodies she made for me at school, I love her little homemade gifts!!

The weather left MUCH to be desired today, so we stayed indoors, despite Miaya begging me to take her to fly her new kite...It was COLD and WINDY and miserable and I've had enough of winter so I, selfishly, said no...So...we played house with Miaya's new dresser box!  Maddie and Nana did lots of work while I made lunch, so we could have a picnic!

 Zavhier and Kyanne even came over and played for a while too!!  The kids had fun, they always do!  I baked them some goodies while the big ones decorated the house the 2 little ones played house...Daddy got home in time to go and pick up some Chinese food for Mom and I.  So, I had a wonderful day! 

HAPY BIRTHDAY KYANNE!!!!!

Today is our sweet little niece's 4th birthday!!  The girls and I had to leave bright and early this morning because we had a few stops to make before we went to celebrate!  We picked up Miaya's new dresser, renewed Maddie's passport and then headed to watch my nephew play some Lacrosse!  The weather was not all that nice this morning, it was windy and chilly but the girls didn't mind.  We played at the park where I could still see all the action!  Then it was time to head to the PARTY!!!

 
 The kids played outside, it had warmed up a little, and they all had fun!  We had a BBQ for supper and then of course come birthday cake!!

 
 Miaya really wanted to help with the presents, she's at the age where they are all so inviting!!  She did well just to help and watch at a very close proximity!!

 

And then the kids performed a show on the trampoline for us, which we all had to participate in...

 So, Gramma and Grandpa showed us some of their dance moves!

And this is what my girls looked like on the way home...See anything wrong with this picture??!?!?!  The older one is passed out and the little monkey is playing...We had a very busy day and we've had a few late nights this week, so Maddie was pooped! 

Projects and Boxes!!

 Daddy got home a little early today because of the weather, so he helped Maddie with a project for school...he's way more creative than this Mama!!

And we had a big box from something we had bought for the house, so the girls had a blast hiding and playing in there!

 They even scared the you know what out of Nana when she got home after work...too funny!!!

Quack Quack!!

We've had some new friends join our little zoo!  And they are adorable!  They've been around for quite a while now and we are patiently waiting to see if they are going to have a family, we hope so!!

 

Such a good helper!

After getting Maddie off to school this morning, we did some raking and Miaya had her very own wagon!!  And then it started raining, so we headed in!

 After asking our big girl many times if she was done with her crib, her answer was always yes and she said she LOVES her new bed, so she helped me take her crib apart today and we washed it and are ready for it to go elsewhere, for some other little baby to enjoy!!  She's sleeping just like before and it's like nothing has changed!!  We are very proud of her!!!!
