Family Sunday

We started today out by going to church. Yay us! We've been trying to get back for a while now and this morning when Jacob took a short nap it was a great opportunity.

We ran some errands after the boys took their afternoon nap and decided to eat supper outside. Scott cooked up some burgers and hot dogs and Logan helped me get everything outside.

First outside meal of the season!

Logan digging in.

Scott enjoying his burger...

...and washing it down.

Jacob settled for cucumbers and bread.

A rare photo of me at dinner!

Logan and one of his favourite foods!

Most nights after dinner lately, Scott has been taking the boys to the park to play. Tonight, I thought I'd join them. Logan was quite excited!

Gathering up some pails and shov

Inspecting it closely.

Making "sand" angels.

Smelling a "flower".

As you can see, Jacob didn't just inspect the sand...he tasted it too!

An artsy shot.

Cute little boy.

We came home and gave the kids a bath and put them to bed, what a great afternoon!

A couple random shots...

Scott's artistic shot of an iris.

Cheeto in a box. (I don't think the cats are featured often enough on the blog...probably because they are often hiding so the camera doesn't get them very much.)

An Afternoon at the Park

On Sunday afternoon, Scott was out of town for a bowling practice, so I packed the boys up and we headed to Waterloo Park to check out the animals and enjoy the nice weather.

(And to take lots of pictures.)

Chatting with the goat.

I thought he looked like such a little man when he was walking around. I took these pictures when I was walking behind him (obviously). Since he always rushes the camera these days, one from behind turn out SO much better!

Jacob was there too! Just chillin' out in the stroller.

He was waving, saying "Hi, Bunny."

This was the only thing he did at the playground. He then walked over to me and said "All done, Mommy."

Since he didn't want to play and I didn't want to go home, we wandered around a bit more and settled by a tree for a while.

Striking a pose.

Likely giving me instructions on what to do next.

Carefully picking a "flower".

Jacob getting in on the flower picking...

...and eating!

Logan found these trees to squeeze between.

And then sat down and announced he was staying right there.

We stopped and I was hoping to take a few pictures of the boys on their own and then some together...yeah I got a few but not what I was hoping for.

Jacob

I love how his head is tilted!

Cute shot of Logan.

Exploring "off the beaten path".

It was a great afternoon!

A New Haircut

Logan's hair seems to be growing quite quickly these days. It is still a bit sparse on the sides and at the front but I think he may be cursed with thin hair anyways.

I took him in for a cut this week. He's come a long way from his first haircut. This time he sat in a fire engine, watched his Doodlebops movie and didn't even need Blue Bear!

It's a bit dark but there's the new short cut!

Enjoying his orange sucker.

A new haircut, a balloon and a sucker!

Something that the Tent Caterpillars are Good For

So some of the caterpillars still seemed to be kicking around our yard. On Sunday morning though they occupied three kids for a long time. We were outside as were our neighbours whose two little ones wandered over and enjoyed the caterpillars.

Logan and Nolan inspecting.

Getting a closer look.

Nolan's sister, Olivia, arrives to check it out.

"Look Olivia, a caterpillar."

I think he got a bit too close for Olivia's comfort!

They were running around collecting leaves to make a bed for the caterpillars.

Olivia chats with Jacob.

After everyone went inside for lunch, I sent Scott out side to rid our yard of the caterpillars...
