STCCS Field Day

We had a great day of track and field on Friday. Alex was so determined and Carsten was so happy go lucky. They got to travel together in the same group which made it much easier for me to keep track of them. I also was getting pictures for the yearbook (500+ pictures later)...here are some of my kids.

Toronto Zoo...Our Home Away From Home ;o)

We had a great time at the Toronto Zoo yesterday. We went with a pretty big group but split into a 2-3 groups as we traveled around the zoo. The kids loved all the animals they did get to see. The kids were pretty tired by the end of the trip. Hopefully we will get a chance to go back again soon. Here’s a bunch from our camera. I know I took some turtle shots …whose camera has the Gerald turtle picture on it???

Waterworks Park

We had a great time at Waterworks Park today! Carsten, Beau and Tucker all had a day off of school and it was gorgeous out…so we thought it would be a perfect time to feed the ducks and I had saved up an awful lot of bread that we could feed them. All I can say is…the poor poor geese.

Savannah had a great time once she got the hang of it

Tucker giving the geese a run for their bread
Brave enough to hand feed them
Savannah's new pet
Aahhhhh! Savannah screamed at the geese

whenever they flew away
Let me show you how it is done

Peace and quiet gets the geese
Letting them run ahead to play gave great shots
The boys pondering life

Thanks for the beautiful outfit Aunt Jenny. It made for some really great pictures. Glad I found the hat too. I have been looking for the right one.

A Day in the Life of Kim While We Go Out and Crop

Woke up with a not so nice headache and migraine auras so I started the day with a 7:00 am chiropractor appointment to fix my head :o( It didn’t work. After Kim got here I took my migraine medicine and soon after went to bed despite wanting to go to the scrapbook day at the RCSS. I was lucky to see what a day around here is like…it’s true the kids do behave well! Kim’s telling the truth.

I dozed off and on until I got up at around 11:00ish when I heard the kids inside and the bath water running. I found 2 little dirty piggies in the bathtub and some nice pictures that Kim took on her new camera. We decided to go visit the croppers for lunch and Cailyn and Jared could visit Grandma too. While getting some juice boxes for our trip to the park, we got sidetracked by some nice sales at the RCSS – check them out!

Then off to the park we went and the girls had a great time playing. And Kim let me try out her new camera…it has a cool setting of colour accenting that I got to play with. Anyways here are some pictures…I added 2 from our trip to Toy Shoppe of London yesterday.
