Antique Piano adventure

A couple of weeks ago a friend sent me a message about a piano their parents were selling. We weren't in the market for a new piano, but thought sure, an antique piano would be great! 

We didn't put much thought into it... I rented a truck, my husband called my brother inlaw and the 3 of us went to pick up this piano.. ha!  On our way there I began looking at YouTube videos about moving a piano :/ something I should have did during the week, not on the way there. I was even going to bring the kids! Good thing I dropped them off to my sister last minute! 

I'll get back to that in a bit - it was an old childhood friends. We lived next door to each other about 25 years ago. It was so nice seeing them and catching up. Such lovely, welcoming people. They were happy the piano was going to someone they knew. We were happy they thought of us.

Ok back to the piano adventure. Ugh it was heavy. I should have hired a piano mover... but I had 2 strong guys haha 

It was tough getting it in the truck, a lot of, try this, no try that, how about this.. you get it.. ha!.. that was part one. Then part 2... getting it in our house. We had to back up over the grass, yikes. 

The guys built a ramp. Nice and sturdy. 

Good thing we had 2 little trolly things (no idea what they are called) it helped roll that heavy piano! 

These guys can be professional piano movers now! They were awesome! 

 

Our piano teacher loved it, when he saw it yesterday. We need to get it tuned but it's a great piece. I love this way it looks in my hallway. 

 I'm thinking a big clock over top of it.

We have some big art already in the area

So I think a clock would add something different.

 

 That evening we couldn't stop talking about the piano adventure. It took us all afternoon. It was fun and a story we will never forget. I can't wait for little K to begin playing on it! 

 
 
 

I still need to research a little more on the piano. It's old! I'm sure it has some history! 

 
 
 
 

Happy Daddy's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! This weekend we celebrated my husband! Both kids Adore their daddy!

So we all joined in the fun weekend of what daddy loves! Which is soccer ha! We watched a lot of soccer, played soccer in the backyard. Went to watch a soccer game and watched daddy play soccer with his team. 

First thing Saturday morning Zoe had a grooming appt ha! So we asked little k what he would like to do. He was talking about sushi for days and also asking us to buy honey.  He loves the natural raw honey. So we did both those things. 

Then we got ready to head downtown for the soccer game ! 

I carried baby M in the Bjorne and let me tell you, my legs are so sore from all the walking we did! 

We played some games. Ha! Daddy got dragged in to play with the kids. 

Moment of silence for Orlando <3

This little had candy, popcorn, peanuts and icecream. Soo good! Ha! 

The kids had a blast! It was such a fun event. 

This morning we were up early and went to watch daddy play soccer! 

It was a hot day today! 

We then headed up north for a nice drive 

Happy daddy's day to my loving husband. We love you Sooo much! 

Oh! How can I forget! I had little k answer these questions. Boy did we have a laugh! 

Burr it's cold outside!

Ok we can't really complain that much. We've had a pretty mild winter, but burrrrr today it's freezing!!! 

Mardi Gras carnival event at school this week. Did you have these events at school when you were young? I remember begging my mom for money for a croissant and hot chocolate ha! Playing fun games in the school yard too. It was fun, little k will enjoy it too!

Tomorrow he will bring some Valentine's Day treats to school! We put them together yesterday. 

Some pinterest ideas for the teachers too. Gift card for coffee/donut.

I wrote in the card: 

Donut I'd do without a teacher like you! 

Ha cute huh. 

Baby M has his first ear infection. :( 

We are all too familar with these! Little k had bad ear infections his first 3 years and since the tubes were placed in his ears he hasn't had one since!

I hope baby M doesn't get these often, they are Soo painful. Especially when the  pressure causes a hole in the eardrum for release :( we are on antibiotics for 10 days. 

Sunday he will be 6 months! Second child just rushes through all stages Huh! He's already trying to lift to sitting position and he can almost crawl too! 

He is such a sweet baby with a happy calm personality! 

Ha! New sunglasses for our upcoming trip.

This weekend is also family day long weekend! 

We have some family fun planned! 

Have a great weekend friends! 

Oh! Just noticed I didn't blog about super bowl sunday! Did you have a party for the game? We do every year. Just a small get together to watch and enjoy some yummy food!

This year I made ribs and chilli dogs! My sister made the pizza. Mm mm! They were a big hit for a fun evening! 

Halloween 2015

I know my post is late but my posts are my memory banks. Pictures and a glance  of our lives.  To share when my kids are older.

And halloween 2015 was a fun day! 

Well first of all, little k loved being a power ranger for Halloween. His costume fir perfectly and boy was it the cutest! Ha! 

He was wearing it in the house way before Halloween and uhh he wore it yesterday after school too. Haha 

On the Friday before Halloween he had a dance a thon at school, he went in costume and he was soooo excited! 

But he had a little cough, and he coughed so hard he threw up ;( so he left school early Friday but was fine! 

I had a very low budget costume ha! But the kids loved it haha.

We went to my brothers house to trick or treat in his neighborhood. 

My nieces were Sooo cute all dressd up. 

How cute are they! 

They were like little adults. Talking about their costumes and monsters and trick or treating. 

The funniest part of that day was my sister inlaw putting scary pictures in the bathroom... Well the kids were terrified. Little K was screaming and fighting me in the bathroom because he was scared. Oh boy thanks Tia! Haha

It was a rainy night. Like every year!!! 

The kids had so much fun even in the rain. 

Then we got cozy and watched Halloween movies.

It was a late night for these kids. 

Which ended perfectly with waffles! 

These kids had a great Halloween 2015!!
