Playing Catch-Up

Let's go back a few weeks....to the middle-ish of May, the May Long Weekend to be exact. It was a very hot and sunny one, so we spent most the weekend in the pool. So much fun!!

 

One of Lincoln's favourite things to do in the pool is to stand on the stairs, hang on to the railing and fall back into the water. It's hilarious to watch.....

 

 

What a clown!! Keziah's favourite thing to do is handstands in the shallow end, but I have yet to snap a picture.

Friday night Keziah got a bug bite of some sort, which left her looking like this till Monday. Poor girl didn't know which eye people were talking about when they asked her, "What happened to your eye?", seeing as that is a daily question for her and has been all her life!

 

Monday night we set off some fireworks in the backyard. I know, I know, the idea is to wait until it's dark, but with it getting dark so late now (9:30-10), and with the kids absolutely exhausted from swimming three days straight, we did them right before they went to bed - at 7! They still liked them.....we think :o)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before I put the camera away for the night, Keziah gave me a glimpse into what being a teenager may mean for us and her....

 

But doing your best not to smile can only last for so long.... :)

A week later, we took the kids to an event we thought they would LOVE, especially the boy. I mean, this kid lives, eats, breathes and plays anything to do with cars, trucks, tractors etc. So when I saw that there was going to be a Touch-A-Truck (where kids can climb all over trucks, sit in them etc.), we planned to go.

Well, it ended up being an incredibly hot day - not good for the girl as she *despises* heat, and we discovered that the boy despises horns. So while we thought it'd be fun, 20 minutes into it we realized that the kids were not having fun at all. Oops! Although we only stayed for about 30 minutes, we did manage to grab a few pictures....

 

 

Hopefully the first and LAST time she'll ever be in the back of a police prisoner van.....

 

 

So no Touch-A-Trucks again for this guy. Looking at them on paper is a whole lot, um, quieter! This is what my floors look like often, especially after we pick up the mail. Lincoln snags the large equipment papers that are supposed to go to the landscape office and spreads them all out on the floor and spends a long time looking at each one :o)

I have more to update but I'll leave it for next time. This week was busy with spending time at Sick Kids with Keziah (see "Keziah's Journey" tab at the top of this blog if you don't know what I am talking about), and the weeks are passing us by quickly. Two more weeks and school will be done! Yahooooooo!!!!!
