Talk Like A Pirate Day

Friday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day...so, here is our little, baby pirate! Isn't he cute?!? Amazing what you can do with some clothes that don't fit anyone and a pair of scissors!

It's Play School Time!!

Wednesday was the first full morning of 4-year-old Play School. Peekaboo picked her outfit (thank you Gramma M!) She was packed and ready and eager to get to 'school'. I can't believe how big she looks! My Baby!!

She had a great morning and is happy to see a few familiar faces in her 'class'. The bus starts on Monday, yahoo! She is happy and so am I, it means Ezra and I don't have to get up, dressed, fed, and into the van to drive her there!

Happy Back to School everyone!

My Little Boy!

I'm sorry Ezra....OK, I'm not really!! I just had to share this photo of him playing in his sister's room. He had on her pink tutu, a lovely purple beaded necklace and a purple purse. Just perfect!

"Indian" summer in NWT

What a fantastic way to spend the weekend! The weather was spectacular, the Fall Fair and Trade Show was at the arena, Tim didn't have to work....All-in-all, Fab!!

The kids had a picnic dinner in the yard tonight, taking advantage of the warmth while we can...it was 27 degrees this evening! Amazing!
And, of course, Peekaboo "the poser" couldn't pass up an opportunity!

A package-yippee!

Peekaboo loves going to check the mail. A very unique part of living in a remote area is getting great stuff in the mail. We were greeted by a terrific surprise from Great-Gramma McCullough, to Peekaboo's great joy! Ezra was unsure what the hullabaloo was about....?!?

After opening said package, and gleefully parading about with her new 'pinky-pink' clothes, Peekaboo told me she needed paper and her pencil crayons. When asked "Why?" she responded, as only a 3 3/4 year-old can, "So I can make a Thank you"....and so she did....Not bad, eh?

Ezra celebrated in his own way, by going outside and getting disgusting-He got some new clothes too, maybe this was an attempt to get me to put them on him....?

Summa lovin'...having a blast....

We are having a fab time enjoying the beaches and awesome weather on the Island. On Sunday we went to Parksville and saw the amazing sandsculptures, played at the massive playground and had a picnic. Ezra has his first Chapman's popsicle! Blue of course! Stained EVERYTHING!!

We spent Monday at Saratoga Beach, just north of Comox, with my pal Jen. Fab!!

I think I have some "beach babies" on my hands!!

Hangin' in Comox with the "Grands"

We made it! Ugh! What a trip, a very long day, but worth it! We are in Comox, driving Gramma and Poppa crazy and they are loving every minute of it. The kids are enjoying the backyard, complete with sand pit, swimming pool and hot tub. The weather has been less than stellar, but is due to change for the better as of today.

A trip to the local farmer's market to get some fresh fruit and veggies has been the highlight so far!!
