Photography #2 - Spring is here!

Spring is here!

We can finally spend a lot more time outside.

We took advantage of the nice weather last weekend, and had dinner at Edworthy Park here in Calgary.
It was wonderful. We brought sandwiches, drinks and enjoyed it under a tree near a playground.

We walked down to the river where the kids threw rocks, and watched dogs splash around.

On our walk back to the car, we stopped at a couple of playgrounds for the kids to play.

I got to take some lovely family photos as well.
It was a nice evening out, I'm glad that we can finally do this again! Stay away, winter!

Sleepless nights #2

There's always something creepy going on at night, at least once a week. Here are just some of the most creepy moments lately:

This nighttime weirdness is Matthew, talking in his sleep.

I went to cover the kids up around midnight, because it's so cold in here.

Matty opened his eyes and said "They're coming, and they'll throw us all in a corner."

I was creeped out, and I ended up sleeping with the hallway light on.

Jon was making sounds in his sleep, as if he was upset. So I asked "Are you okay? Honey?"
He says "I'm sleeping! You're so annoying!"
Then started snoring away.
The fuck? Lol.

Jason is the most creepy child, when it comes to sleep walking.
I heard sounds coming from their room, so I opened the door a tiny bit to see what it was.
I saw was a tiny shadowy figure (Jason) standing at the edge of Matty's bed. His little eyes were bulged out, just staring off into space.. then suddenly he yells "MATTYYYYYY!"
...

Matty woke up completely terrified.

In my spare time, I like to make things in Photoshop.

This is one of my favorites. I call it "Autumn." <3

A random goofy one, that I made long ago. Xbox controller. :)

Kids say the funniest things #10

Tonight while eating dinner.. Jason stabbed a piece of his steak,

held it up high and (loudly) said:

"THIS.... use to be cow. Mooooooooooooo."

Jay, during an argument, randomly says this to his big brother:

"Why you so mad, Big Stuff!"

Matty: "Get off the table!"

Jason: Matty! Don't make me mad!"

Jason and Jon were trying to figure out what to do for the day.

Jon: "So Jay, is there anything you would like me to do with you today?"

Jay: "Yeah! We go to the slurpee store and get a treat."

Jon: "Is that all I'm good for, treats?"

Jay: "How bout dis.. If me can't get kinder egg, me can get a toy!"

Kids say the funniest things #9 *Grandma Edition!*

Posts from Grandma.

Posts about my kids and the funny things they say, from my mom.

Matthew: "Talking to my ten year old grandson on the phone, they are on vacation in Vernon. His little brother was going around spanking them. He told me that Mommy was doing something so I said, "maybe she needs a spanking too." Matty says, "Oh Jon will probably do that, he's always touching Mommy's butt.""

Jason: "My little grandson messaged me to give me heck. He saw a black cat at Petland in Calgary and assumed I had abandoned Fonzie (my cat) there. He's not letting it slide, or forgiving me....he brings it up every time we talk...with a scowl in his voice. Then when he's done discussing it, he's back to normal conversation. He told me I did a mean thing. Lol."

Matthew: "While playing with his foam sword today, he tore it, so asked for another sword.  I told him to use some duct tape.  Magically, he knew right where it was.  I figured he'd keep busy looking for it for the rest of the day.  I rip off a big piece and he says, "you don't need that big a piece!"  I told him I did.  I started wrapping it around the foam sword and he says, "Oh, I see what you're doing, you're not only fixing it but that will give it some style too!""

Spring is coming!

The last two days have been so beautiful outside.

It was so nice, especially after a long week of -20 degrees weather here in Canada.

When it's that cold, we stay inside because Mommy can't drive!

I have to get on that this year, and get my drivers license.

Anyway..
We took advantage of this nice weather, and built a snowman yesterday.

Pictures from our day outside, yesterday.

It was so warm today, that the snowman melted quickly.
The kids weren't too upset, they laughed when they saw that his head had slid off.

Our poor headless snowman, today.

Squirrels ran around us as we played.

The sunshine was so warm and bright.
There were puddles of water everywhere.

Spring is on its way!
