With the warm weather upon us the local Ice Cream parlor has reopened for the season and the classic cars are having their weekly gathering at the dinner next door, Thursday night is back on.
Since ET has been fully aware that the cars started showing up two weeks ago and the Ice Cream parlor was open back in March, when on the way back from daycare he let me know that there are "people inside". It was only a matter of time before we went.
Not only did the four of us go, but my sister and her family also came out to meet us.
I always love seeing the kids together. They were so cute eating all their ice cream... I mean the ice cream that didn't melt down their hands. Thanks to Donna for bringing some wipes they cleaned up pretty good.
The kids really got excited when the Impalla started hopping, you can hear them in the video.
Oh and if you're wondering I'm back on the Parfaits.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm really wanting to pay for that pro account over at Animoto. 30 seconds videos are not enough!
Not wanting to waste a Sunday morning and all the work it took to get everyone out of the house, in the van and to the east end, we drove around the block to the Montreal Biodome.
It was lots of fun seeing all the animals in their (artificial) natural habitats. And who doesn't like penguins.
Coincidently this outing impressed on me yet another reason why I have to start taking the boys to church. There was a class from a private girls school / convert (I'm guessing) being chaperoned by a few nuns. One of the nuns offered to take a family photo of us. After I thanked her and she walked away Ethan said that she was the Witch of the Waste from Howl's Moving Castle. From the mouths of babes.
Thanks everyone for coming out and spending Saturday celebrating our little guys birthday. I was great to see all of you.
I can't believe it's been two years already... it seems so much longer. That's just a parenting joke. ;-)
Maybe in a few years one of the kids will be able to crack open the piñata, but I'm not so sure when certain adults kill the piñata beating stick before releasing the candy.
Be sure to check out the music of Evan Tate.
Today at daycare was their Christmas day. So everyone was in PJ's, and a play and Santa were also planned. The boys were in Spider-Man PJ's (as you can see).
The doctor says Carts' is fine and on the mend, so that's a relief. After dropping him back at daycare, my mom's car (that we are borrowing while we pass judgement on the fate of the family van, just passed a historic mile stone) refused to start.
It got towed and luckily my father in-law lent me his car so I can get around for today and tomorrow.
Thanks to the afore mentioned generosity of my father in-law I was then able get back to the daycare and see Santa making the rounds. Though I did get there too late to see ET get his gift. I spent two hours in their classes and it was great to get to know their friends a little bit better and see how good they can be when they want to. I also kind of got roped into doing some face painting on a few kids in ET's class but unfortunately we had to leave before we got to everyone.
My niece Jade is in Carts' class also but she was a little scared of Santa. Ethan was the same his second Christmas. Of course there was a girl in their class that was frea-keen-ing out. She just hid in the back of the class. Hopefully next year she's over her fear of Santa. Kids that small usually haven't made the correlation between Santa and Christmas morning yet.
The good news Carts is at 100% oxygen. The bad news is that he still sounds pretty bad.
But he's getting better and maybe... maybe we'll be out tomorrow. Of course I'm not holding my breath.
I've done every puzzle in the playroom but this Mickey Mouse one was just horrible, so many pieces missing.
ET visited Carts yesterday and tonight. He's really missing his brother and Mom. The whole thing is really throwing him off. A child's universes depends on schedules and the boys' has been derailed this week.
So hopefully tomorrow we'll be told that Carts is good to come home and we can get things back to normal around here. I really don't like sleeping in a semi-empty house. And as much as I complain, I miss all the screaming and fighting that goes on with the boys every day. I just want everyone home.
