Conversations from a Three year old

Rob and I were sitting in the living room while the kids were quietly playing in the TV room last night, this is the conversation we overheard:

Kate: Owen, boys are stupid

Rob and I look at each other in disbelief and start to laugh in it's total randomness.

Owen: I'm going to tell Mom and Dad what you said

Kate: (in the sweetest voice possible) Owen, I love you so much.

We now practically fall of the sofa silent laughing so hard. Yup, definitely will be getting calls from the school for Kate!

EIGHT Wait, What!!!

Happy 8th Birthday to our incredible boy

As we were in quarantine like everyone else in Canada,
this birthday was going to be a bit different. 

Breakfast was followed by presents

Rob and the kids then had a blast blowing up and
making balloon animals. We then played outside for
several hours biking, playing hockey and enjoying
the backyard. Sadly no pics as I was enjoying the moment

Made up and devoured these pizzas between the
four of us

We then did a group video chat with the Grandparents,
Aunts and Uncles. Everyone made a cake and enjoyed
together. It was really fun.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter from our Family to yours

Thanks to mail delivery from Oma and Grandpa, the
kids had some fun Easter crafts to make up

 

Verrrrrry early this morning the hunt was on

We made another fort and they are quietly playing while us adults
chill and enjoy the quiet while it lasts

Week 3 in Lockdown

Dressing up was the theme of the week, luckily we
have a pretty great dress up box to go through 

Two spidermen kept me safe for the day

Our walks were pretty entertaining

Still making our weekly sourdough sandwich bread and
I'm getting pretty happy with the results

Trying something new this year, mini greenhouses to
start our kale, chard and spinach. Rather than start the seeds
indoors then transplanting, I'm direct sowing and covering with
jugs to mimic a greenhouse. Hope it works! 

Like everyone else, haircuts are starting to be needed. Rob
volunteered so the kids could start learning a new skill, hahaha.
We came upstairs to this, they were very excited to be cutting
daddy's hair

Starting with the scissors

and moving on to the clippers. I didn't get any pics of
Kate cutting, I think I was laughing too hard

Whipped together some delish burger buns for dinner
one night. Even remembered to record my
recipe this time, they were that good!

Probably one of the most exciting spring finds every year,
our rhubarb starting to sprout

Not to many places I feel comfortable bragging but since
this is my blog I'm ok with it here. The kids were doing
their daily homework and Kate was asking how to spell different
words. I wrote them on a seperate page for her to see and this
is what she did, all on her own, three years old. Oh Yeah

We got our tomatoes and peppers started today

As much as we are doing to cope with the lockdown
the kids do manage to climb the walls some days
