Summertime - Part One

We are back from our holidays and I've finally sat down to try and get the blog caught up. I'll do it in parts because we've been busy and have taken a tonne of pictures. We have kept trying to do the 100 Things To Do This Summer. Here are a few of those things - mostly from the end of June and first week of July.

Play - Doh

Planting Flowers

Puzzles

I wasn't sure what to do for "Making Shirts". I got looking around and found transfer sheets that you can print anything on and then iron on. Canada Day was approaching and I wanted shirts so that's what we ended up doing...

Slip 'n Slide

We finger painted, painted wit various brushes and then

we painted rocks and put them in our flower bed.

Some of Justin's family came down on Canada Day and the boys got to meet their youngest cousin Alexis. She belongs to Kenny and Jacquie. A real sweetie and we were all pretty taken with her. Caden LOVED to hold her and thought she was pretty great.

We spent a couple of hours at Canada Day at Wascana Park.

We watched the cannon firing and then walked around. There was a little petting zoo.

The first time the boys had Frozen Yogurt (except Liam - he doesn't like cold food so doesn't eat ice cream or freezies and now frozen yogurt - you can see him crawling off of his chair in this pic.)

Homemade Lemonaide - SO GOOD.

Flashcards. I sort of thought that this was a boring idea but I pulled them

out anyway and the kids really liked it actually

A treasure hunt. I decided to put it with a movie night and so the kids were all

bathed and in their pj's. The clues were all outside.

The treasure was....

treats....

a new movie...

and more treats...

Movie Time!!

Check back for pictures from our little holiday to Manitoba.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Just the 6 of us now

I haven't blogged for a few days. It's been busy around here! But lots of fun. I'm feeling very tired tonight and will likely go to bed soon! We had a fun weekend with Justin's mom and Adam and Trinda and their kids. Trinda took some pictures for us again. Keep watching and I'll post some when I get them - it'll be a couple of weeks likely. Caden had SO much fun with his cousins, as he always does. They just go downstairs and we don't hear from them for a long time. Just some laughing and an occasional scrap. The triplets are eating ALOT and we're seeing them continue to fill out and get heavier. Things are going well. Justin's mom went home tonight so it's just the 6 of us this week. Justin is taking some holidays now. It'll be a nice time together. I'm looking forward to it but I know it'll be tougher now that our overnight help is gone. A baby is crying and Caden needs to be put to bed soon so I have to go.... Here ...

An Exciting Day

Hello friends! I'm having a very exciting day. Today is the day that I received my new logo! Can I just tell you all that if you can get a sister in law that is a fabulous graphic designer - absolutely do it! If not - I'm so sorry for you but maybe you can use mine? Just say my name and she might squeeze you in between all her other clients. She very patiently worked with me to come up with a logo that is neat and simple. I love it. Here it is: Check out her website here . And you can like my facebook page here .
