Things I've Heard This Week

After arriving home from work one night, I was met at the door... "DADDY DADDY DADDY, I got a letter today from the Ottawa Senators and there was picture of the whole team in it Daddy. Daddy Daddy, the man with the dark face, he's the goalie"

Yes Son, that's right, that's Ray Emery.

"DADDY, there two people with dark faces in my class who sit with me at my lunch table" That's nice Isaac. God makes us all different.

... The next night ...

"DADDY DADDY DADDY, Hemza got a car sticker today at schooo-oool" By chance, does Hemza sit at your table Isaac? "Yes Daddy, How'd you know that?

I don't know, just a hunch

God Sends Us Rain

I got Isaac off the bus on Tuesday and it was raining a bit intermitantly and you could see a lot of rain in the clouds. I said, we better get inside cause it's going to rain. I asked Isaac, who sends the rain... his response " God does, so the flowers will grow and that our cars will get washed." Yup, thats it!:)

First Day of School

First Day of School

Isaac's first day of school... Eva hasn't clued in yet that she's got mommy to herself

The backpack was bigger than him... He had a montreal canadiens back pack but couldn't fit all his stuff in it so he's going to use that for other things and picked out

First Day of School Part 2

Taking the Bus

For as long as we've been talking about going to school, Isaac has informed us that he's too little to take the school bus and he'd take it when he's bigger. Well, we had a pleasant surprise this morning when he suddenly decided, "I'm going to ride the bus two times today daddy". So there we waited at the end of our driveway for what seemed like an eternity. I had my doubts if he'd actually go through with it but sure enough, as soon as it pulled up, he got on.

And of course we tailed the bus to school!

He got off fine and on to his class

Eva & Her Friends

In the middle of the night, Eva has gotten into this nasty habbit of waking up at 3 or 4 and crying wanting to come into bed with us. She usually has to have a few of her stuffed animals with her when she comes. Last night, she woke up early, like midnight, and was crying to come into bed with us. When I got to her room, she was packed and ready to go... 5 or 6 stuffed animals and 3 blankets. Too Cute

The New Road

They've been doing major construction on our road this summer and are building a new entrance/road on to blessington road. Putting lights at our intersection but they needed to make the road at a 90 degree angle so they've been building a whole new road through the farmers field and reconnecting it to the old road near our house

Road is getting complete and tonight after supper we decided to go out and do some rollerblading on it.

I must admit, i'm not crazy about the new road. Tan and I went to a movie on Saturday night and to live on the edge a bit, I drove home on the new road. (I've come to discover most of my neighbors have snuck their vehicles on to the new road to test it out). The new road reconnects into the old road right in front of my old house and there is a bit of a curve there. I think it's only a matter of time before someone come flying around that corner and goes right into our front yard or the tree

Sliding

I think I went down the slide 15 times...

Going down is the easy part, going back up.... that's a different story

Lawn Bowling

Now I keep threatening Tanya that I'm going to join a lawn bowling league... I mean really, who can resist all that white.

Day At the Belleville Fair

On the Boat ride, there was 3 people riding it and about 10 boats... they all decided to ride in the same boat
