At the Playground

"Our" trailer was parked really close to the park which was great. The girls spent hours there and played with all the other camping kids. My cousin Emily was great to go there with them and keep an eye on them as I did lunch, dinner, clean up, etc.

Swing Batter Swing

Natasha has been pretending to play PINATA at home. While Adam and I were out shopping for our camping trip we saw a Spongebob Pinata and we thought to fill it up for an evening activity with the kids and their second cousins. Natasha was thrilled and the other kids had fun as well. Each kid got three hits blindfolded and then three hit with sight. It still didn't break even after we did the pull string so we let "Little Adam" (he is kind of big for that name now but was given it when my Adam came into the picture) have a swing. One swing was all it took and as you can see by the picture...the candy went flying.

The Shiny One

My uncle has two motorbikes in his shop, one Honda (20 yrs old) and one Harley. When asked what bike they would like to ride on both of them said "The shiny one." Uncle Daryl is the one man I trust to give my kids a ride on a motorcycle and not once did I feel like they were in danger. I thought it was cute and the ride lasted all of 5 mintues. Some people will cringe and shun my choice of letting the girls ride but to each there own.

Ashley absolutely did not want to ride on the bike. We got the helmet on and she would not even sit on the bike. After she saw her big sister do it (like everything else) she was going to be tough and ride the shiny bike. Ashley was very serious riding it but any chance Natasha got she had the biggest shit eating grin.

Dropping a Hint

I found Natasha asleep like this the other night and just about fell over laughing. Perhaps she is dropping us a hint about our parenting skills.

The New Ride

My mom was in an accident a couple of months ago. There wasn't a lot of damage but enough to an older car that it was written off. My dad found this vehicle in the States and went down there last weekend to pick it up. I got to drive it part way to Sherwood Park and it is very nice. I am sure my mom will like in over the long haul.

7jays-UPDATED

Pictures of the kittens taken about 2 weeks ago. 7jays I will take some pictures of your little guy and post them in the next couple of days. He is my favorite and seems to be the frisky one of the bunch. No problems either with him staying a while longer. Is he going to be an inside or outside cat??





Ok so I looked up Calico cats and the kittens are NOT calico. I thought calico was simply a mixture of colours but apparently it is not. Annoymous poster MOST, not all, calico cats are female. 7jays I will post pictures today so you can look and decide. SOrry for passing the wrong information.

The kittens are doing great. They are running around playing but are handled enough that they come when we call them. The other day one was following my eldest around the yard. There are 4 males and 1 female. There is a male and female of the calico ones. The male is really cute and has really distinct stripes on his legs. He reminds me of a tiger. The female doesn't have the same markings but is still damn cute. I am offering solid food but so far I have not seen them eat any of it. They are around the dogs (one is a retriever) and seem to be comfortable but hiss when they have had enough. I have pictures which I will update with but I just wanted to write something.

The kittens are 4 weeks old, roughly.

Post Update...

Now to find the time as I have had little to no motivation to do much of anything.

Funny Commercial

This commercial makes me smile. I love how it plays on the typical car wash scene of half naked women with oversized boobs.
