fun stuff

So Grama's back in town... and what does that mean? Fun stuff!! It helped that the weekend weather was fabulous and it was Harbour Days in Prescott. You can't go wrong with sunny weather, free hot dogs, bouncy inflatable rides, face painting & hanging out on my grandparents boat. It's chaos... but fun chaos.

If you thought that was Sam you were wrong. It's the super hero "Lightening". See... that's his running pose.


The kids topped it off with a sleepover on the boat with Grama. Sofie got to sleep on the boat too... but just for her afternoon nap. This is what happens when your eldest children aren't allowed on the boat while mom & baby nap...
Ya. Pine cones. Every damn one in the harbour. And now they are in my living room. Awesome.

The next day their faces were still (partially) painted, even AFTER a trip to the beach. Nice. We had to tell Sam he couldn't go out for father's day supper unless he washed off his face paint. Well, what was left of it. Yes... we had to threaten him. At what age does the novelty of face paining wear off??

Goalie for a Day

Sam has always been eager to get his chance in the net. We've never really encouraged it because goalie isn't really a position we wanted Sam to play. Hockey is expensive enough as it is... a goalie even more so. Last week the goalie in their summer league decided he'd like to play forward for a game so naturally Sam stepped up to trade spots & officially got his chance to play goalie. Equipment & all. Leave it to Sam to hit the ice & blow us all away, coaches included. He rocked that net... like a natural. So much so that we would love to see him become a goalie. However, at the end of 2 straight hours in the net Sam decided that his place on the ice was not in the net, but up in the front. I managed to get some great shots though...







"Enjoy The Journey"

Another year of dance wrapped up over the weekend with an entertaining performance celebration of ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop, acro & modern dance. This year Juliet took ballet/jazz and ended the year with 2 fabulous numbers in the show...
