July 1st is a special day for me. I have great memories of my family and me going to the Canada Day parade in our little town of 10,000 peps. We would patiently wait in the heat, occasionally getting sprayed with water but the best part of the parade was the candy that was thrown off the floats. What kid doesn't want candy? This year we are not going to be in Canada to take part of the festivities. Our hearts are with our Canadian family and friends.

It is a perfect day to celebrate Canada Day.

More All About Me :)

Happy Summer
I just love these pages and how fun they turned out. I think this is an adorable drawing of Thys' rabbit.
How old are you?
This is where I like to see hand prints, on paper not on my walls and windows!

Here are 3 more pages from the "All About Me" book that Nola and I put together for our preschoolers.
Our favorite things. This is such a fun page! Finding out their favorite things is always amusing and an adventure.
You must, must get their height and weight. Very monumental.
Printing your name is a very big deal in preschool so you have to make that a page too.
There are still some more pages to come. So stay tuned. :)

Preschool is so much Fun

The end of the school year with Kindergarten just around the corner.

Its the last month before school is out for summer break. The month of May was full and exciting. Preschool has taken over my life. Our theme was "Exploring Down by the Seashore". This is such a fun topic. We really had a great time doing art, cooking, games and field trips with the children. I just wish that I was better at taking pictures of all the things that we do with the little cuties. Here is a group photo of some of the things Thys made.

We also put together a fun "All About Me Book" for each child. It has some really cute pages. As well as the ABC Book that all the moms have been working on all year long with the children.
Here are two of the 10 pages we did for the All About Me book. I will post some more in a few days. This is such a treasure for the children to have through out their lives. In just a few months Thys is off to Kindergarten. Preschool and I will be taking a year off until my baby, Kendell turns 3 years old and all the fun will begin again.

Camp Out!

Tonight is Fathers and Sons Camp-Out. This is an annual event in our home. Gary goes off with Thys while me and the girls are home to enjoy a girlie night to ourselves. Everybody wins. :) Tonight we are going to hang out with our Girlie Cousins and Aunts and Grandma.

The plan is to watch chick flicks and eat smoothies. Perhaps Audrey Hepburn is on the movie menu but I am bringing "Pride and Prejudice" just in case that doesn't work out along with some other fav's too. I think we need to paint our nails and bring some chocolate. That will make the night perfect.
