What's In a Face... Right???

Been a while, I have started a new venture making hats for kids, and some other stuff and it has somewhat taken up my time. Planning and figuring a few things out before I start taking orders! 

This weekend was a bit of a doozy for us. Saturday we had a birthday party at a local pool, TONS of fun! Canaan is getting quite independent with his life jacket on! Maybe a little too independent at times! We BBQ'ed with some good friends that evening and kids had a bit of a late night. Lots of fun and an amazing day! 

Sunday was brunch at other good friends house, lots of kids, crazyness all around and a few drinks for the parents. Loved it. 

As we know a weekend that is that busy cannot happen without some sort of accident on our part. And sure enough, while Trace perfected the art of SLAMMING our friends wooden playhouse door, he happened to slam it on Canaan. Who proceeded to cry and run towards us. Sure enough, big lump on the bridge of his nose, and he somehow was bleeding from his eyelid? No idea. Just happy that he didn't loose an eye. Poor kids looks like a train wreck. 

Now not to be outdone, Jaxon and Trace were playing yesterday, Trace decided that the white cloth Ikea bin was in his way and that chucking it at his brother was the best option. So he proceeded to do just that. Nailing Jaxon in the face and giving him a swollen nose, and bloody scrapes all down the middle of his face. AWESOME. 

This weekend is Trace's 4th birthday, I am just guessing that maybe he wanted to make sure he was the fairest of them all??? 

Let Me Take Your Picture...

We did some family pics this last weekend. LOTS of fun! The kids were running around like there is no tomorrow, sat still a few times. Didn't get NEAR as muddy as I thought they would, FUN... LOVED IT! I can't wait for the pics to be done and be able to look through them. A friend of mine took them as she is looking at starting her own business and I have to say she was amazing! The three boys NEVER seemed to stress her out! Regina I APPLAUD you!!!!

Well.. Trace has a camera ( a V-tech one) that he can take pics on). So as I am sitting here and checking facebook and prepping for my meeting tomorrow all I hear from Trace is...
"Ok Now sit togeder on the couch, and put your arms around each other and act like you love each other" "Ok now stay there.. don't move.. say Cheese!!!"
Then from the twins in unison "CHEEEESE... CLICK!"

For all of you that read this, or know me ... I have a friend. She and I are in the same... um situation?!? So to speak... she is also a mom of a little boy (who is only a few weeks older than Trace) and a set of boy twins (5 days older than my twins...) I am trying to get her to guest write on here for me. Lets just say she has some table crackin good stories... and is also an amazing momma!!! She keeps me sane that is for sure! I am blessed to have many good friends who listen, help and just are there for me! And of course my mom... no words to describe her, couldn't have done this last year without her!

Chicken Mouse

Last night was leftovers night in our house, or empty the fridge night. The boys chose to have chicken nuggets which they love. As I am pulling all leftovers onto the counter Kyle asks me what is for dinner...to which Canaan starts his reply "chicken mouse" .... I didn't really hear him the first time. Kyle is still asking me what is for dinner and now Canaan is screaming "CHICKEN MOUSE DADDY".

Kyle and I just look at him... What? Did he really just say that? Kyle then asks me what the boys are having... well.. it just so happens that the nuggets that we have for the boys are in the shape of mickey MOUSE ears... hence the chicken mouse.

Well I thought it as the cutest thing, so we had to phone Granny who is in Edmonton and have her ask him what is for dinner... of course being Canaan he performed and said "chicken Mouse Granny". Too cute!

Today as we were driving home from a birthday party I asked the boys what they wanted for lunch, I got on noooonles, one peanut butter jemmy, and one Chicken Mouse... hmmmm I translated as grilled cheese for all! I have to say I am loving that the boys are chatting more and that we are understanding them! And I LOVE the things that are coming out of their mouths!
