Ummmm...End of April?!

How did we get here? Is the year going incredibly fast for anyone else out there? Well, the winter rains are almost over and there have been some days of "sun" for us lately. We took advantage of it this morning with a walk to a nearby yard sale and on to a playground. Took some videos to share. Enjoy the show! :)

Elijah's story of the day

We went to the aquarium and saw the whales. But the dolphin show was not on. Then we went to see them down below with Grandma and Grandpa and everybody else. We went home and had some yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy dinner. Then everybody else came. Charlotte and Elijah and Yumi got tattoos on our cheeks. Elijah got a spider just like spider man. Yumi got an octopus and Charlotte got a turtle. We liked it and we played with it until it came off. And then we went home and had some supper. The next day we went to the aquarium once again. Then we saw the fishies swimming everywhere in the water. Everywhere in the water. Everywhere in the water. Then we went home and had some supper with perogies and beans and a little bit of rice and some meat. We had cupcakes with sprinkles on it and cookies too. Then we went to bed and the next morning we got up and the snow was everywhere. There was a pile of snow! But I didn't see any snow until I did. I saw a super huge mound of snow. Then we cleared the sidewalk with our snow shovels. And then we still kept shoveling until it was supper. And then the night began. At the night time it snowed lots and lots and lots and lots but it melted. And we went to Anthony's house. And then I went back home and had some yummy supper. Yum yum yum yum yum. And then we went to bed. The next morning the sun was shining and we went into the pool and we put water down our suits. And then it was time for supper. Then we had beans with rice and we had some carrots. And then we had some meat. Then we went to bed with our jammies on and our whole bodies washed. Then we had some breakfast that was so yummy yum yum. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house! And I didn't know there was snow. Then we went outside and had a snowball fight and I threw snow balls in Grandma's suit. And I said “Have good fun, huh? Cause I'm going to throw a snowball in your neck.” Then we went to bed.

I think he may have been hungry when writing this. :)

Snow day!

Well, it finally snowed! The kids couldn't wait to get outside so at 8:30 Saturday morning, we were out there shovelling. Here are some bits and pieces of their fun.

Elijah has been doing a literacy assignment at school. One of the exercises is to choose a family photo and write a story about it. Erin did one with a photo of Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Caroline, Uncle Devon, Charlotte, Mama and Papa in it. It was a pretty good story. But he liked it so much he wanted to do another, so I did one with him tonight, and I told him I would put it on all the computers (the internet) so everyone can see it. This is the result:

Once upon a time, everybody came over and we out to the creek. While we were at the creek, we went to the trail and watched the water. It was cold and wet. We ran around and looked for fish, and then we saw a doggie. Doggies are fun to play with. Somebody was with the dog. We saw trees and Grandma and Grandpa were there. Auntie Caroline and Uncle Devon were there. We had a fun time.

We climbed up the stairs until we got to the houses. Then we followed the sidewalk. Grandma and I were sitting on plants! We were funny. Grandma and I were running. And then I started walking fast until we got home.
