Trying Mini Golf

Scott took the boys mini golfing last weekend. Neither boy had ever played before but did ok. They didn't keep score but had fun!

Deep in concentration.
Apparently Jacob's favourite part was to run ahead and find the next hole.
Two little golfers.

Logan Goes to the Jays Game

Last month, Scott, his dad and Logan took a trip to see the Blue Jays play. The Jays lost but Logan had fun spending the day with daddy and Grandpa and learning about baseball.

Having some street meat before the game.
In his seat with Grandpa.
Some people walking around the CN Tower...Scott's dream.
With Jr.Jay.

A Week in Review

Since I can't seen to update regularly anymore...here's an entire weeks worth of pictures in one post!

(Please note that all these pictures were taken with my phone so the quality is very poor. Mom, is my camera at your house?)

Saturday...

Scott worked and I took the kids to the market...on the bus!
Norah's first bus ride!

They were happy to be on the bus again. We'll have to do this again in the summer.
I decided that I won't ever again go to the market alone, with all three kids on a sunny Saturday. There were WAY too many people. We'll stick to Tuesdays or Thursdays and only go Saturdays if Scott can come. I really want to try and buy most of our produce from the market (from actual local farmers) this summer!

On Sunday, Logan and I went to church while Scott took the other two to Home Depot. We weren't sure if there would be Sunday School and nursery care so we didn't want to risk having everyone there! Logan did have to stay with me through the service but he did great! (I don't remember what else we did on Sunday...)

Monday brought the first day of a week of Vacation Bible School at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Kitchener. It's the church my aunt and uncle attend and my aunt, who was volunteering there for the week offered to pick the boys up and drop them off each morning. So Norah and I had 4 hours to ourse

We did a lot of this...hanging out on the couch together, watching TV. Something this third child rarely gets. 
See? More of the same.
You can tell it's a different day because we are wearing different clothes!
Norah also spent a lot of time checking out the boy's toys while they were gone..
More cuddles...
Norah learned she can't quite climb stairs yet.
(I think this was Tuesday).

We spent one afternoon in the pool in the backyard. Norah showed off her crawling skills as evidenced by her dirty face from my garden...
Scott worked a bunch of overtime this week so I took the kids out for a walk most nights to kill time before bedtime. 
Here's Norah riding in her car, waving to her adoring fans.
One evening, Norah got stuck in her room. She was in there alone and closed the door and then sat behind it so I couldn't get it open. I could reach my arm in far enough for a picture though. It took about 15 mins for me to get in to get her!
 Finally, Friday came!
Norah is getting closer to figuring out stairs...

Jacob stopped for a spot of tea while playing Playdoh.
We cooled off at the splash pad at Victoria Park!
It was a great week! Thanks to my Aunt Sandy for taking the boys to VBS every day. They had such a good time! And Norah and I got to see what life will be like in September when Logan and Jacob are both in school!

Father's Day Revisited

We didn't do too much on Father's Day. Just church and spent the day together. The kids had a few things to give to Scott though!

Logan giving him the card he made at school.
:)
Helping Daddy read it.
Yay! A tie!
Daddy and all his kiddos.

Karate Kid Logan

Logan finished up his session of karate last week. He seemed to quite enjoy it, so we'll think about having him do it again starting in the fall. He took a small introductory class at the rec centre this time. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves!







This is him doing "push ups", I wish I had of taken a video, haha.

Logan's Year End Picnic

Last week, I was lucky enough to go with Logan to a park near his school for the Kindergarten Picnic. My mom came over and watched Norah and Jacob and I spent the afternoon with Logan.

Logan got to pick his own group and then we walked together to a nearby park to join all the kindergarten kids from his school. There were lots of different activities at the park for them and the Tumblebus was also there. The kids were assigned a group to go on the bus but other than that they were able to roam freely through the park.

Using the sidewalk chalk.

Logan's buddy, Osman, also chalking.
Trying out the hula hoops.

There were a lot of kids! Probably close to 100!
Logan trying to decide what to do next.
It was our turn for the bus!
Inside there were monkey bars, a ball pit, a slide, a trampoline, a rock wall and tumbling mats.
Logan going down the slide.
Jumping on the trampoline.
Going through the hoop of fire.
That's him on the monkey bars.
They all did a sommersault at the bottom of the slide.
 Back outside...
Here he is playing catch with a friend and his teacher, Mrs. Burns.
Logan has talked about playing with most of the kids in his class this year but he mostly talks about Osman. Every day, Osman is included in his stories. They attended each other's birthday parties this year and we had Osman here over March Break for a playdate. Both boys are switching to French Immersion for grade 1, so they should be in the same class again!

Logan and his best buddy Osman.
:)

Our whole group.
Silly kids carried their backpacks home on their fronts.
It was a great afternoon!
