Kisses

The kids fight A LOT.  That's probably our biggest challenge at the moment.  Teaching three one year olds (and their older brother) that you have to share every day, everything!  And when you don't get your way, you can't bite/push/hit/slap/body slam each other.  It seems like someone is always screaming or crying because of one another.  So it was nice to catch some displays of affection today... it's a dreary day here so the lighting wasn't great - photos turned out a bit fuzzy!

Sunny trying to get a kiss from Fletcher... I think its funny that she automatically kisses with her eyes closed!

 

The girls couldn't keep a straight face long enough to complete a kiss!

Family

We went down to the river today to spend a bit of time outdoors and to attempt some photos.  I was in luck, and managed to get some decent shots.  I'm especially excited to have gotten this family photo... with everyone looking at the camera! Extra amazing since we just used the camera timer and balanced it on some rocks!!

I love my little big family.  Such a beautiful bunch I get to spend my days with :)

First Day of School... kind of

The other day after making Griffin try the Potato Cauliflower and Pea Curry I made, I asked him what he thought of it.  He replied "It was, uh, interesting... but uh, anyways, thank you for supper mommy." And quickly took his plate to the dishwasher. This kid has a way with words I tell you!

Ok, I have to be honest now... I was going to post the following photo and pretend that it was a shot of Griffin on his way to school.  But I can't do it! I can't tell a lie! I forgot to get out the camera AGAIN this week for preschool, so I made Griffin put his backpack back on today and pretend he was going to school. (oh am I ever a lame-o!!!)  The funny thing was that he got right into my little white lie.  He says, "ok well then lets pretend it was my treasure time today and I brought this truck with me for it".  Hahaha, you can't see the truck in this pic, but it was there in his other hand.  Anyways, so ya, this is what he would have looked like if I had taken a picture of him going to school.  Handsome, isn't he?

And as for this picture... how could I not share?? Daddy styled his beautiful red locks with our favourite appliance - the hand vac!

 



Berries and Soo-soo's

Here are a couple shots of the little ones picking berries off the tree in our backyard... don't worry, they don't eat them, they just pick 'em and squish 'em and throw 'em on the ground.  Oh the joys of being 1!

Last weekend I finally got my "craft room" slash Fletcher's bedroom somewhat organized since we moved in.  The babies thought it was a whole new room when I was done and had a blast playing in Fletcher's bed.  I turned around and caught them all sucking on soothers.  Funny sight, cause Fletcher is the only one who actually uses one.

Griffin has returned to preschool this week and also started swimming lessons again.  However, my camera battery died on that very important first day of school so all I have is a blurry pic on my phone.  :(
I'm hoping to have a do-over next week and get some good shots!
