first few weeks of school!

I wasn't nervous at all about Mr K heading to grade 1... up until the night before! A flood of emotions overwhelmed me. I was nervous for him! Going to a big kid class and the big kid yard! 

Little K was ready that morning. He was calm and cool, didn't say much but  he seemed way more ready for grade 1 than I was! Haha

Baby M had a hard time at daycare the past week because big brother leaves the room quickly in the mornings after they get dropped off. During the summer they both had summercamp at the same daycare Little K would stay at least a good hour with baby M before going to the big kid class but now Mr K heads over to the big kid morning class right away and baby M caught on to that. :( he's adjusting but it was a hard first week for him! Missing his big brother! 

He looks so big! He had a great first week and another great second week. 

He's enjoying grade 1! He loves his teacher and friends. He's practicing his writing and reading without a fight. He loves drawing ninjas still haha it's the cutest. I've seen so much positive change in him and it's only been 2 weeks. The next stage for him is creeping up. He'll be 6 in a month and a bit. 6! Of course it'll be a ninja birthday :) 

Yes that's a ninja. He's just breaking in his Halloween costume haha. 

  

Our nightly routine (when we start early enough) always includes reading before sleep. Baby M has his book that he repeats "daghoo" aka dog for the paw patrol book. Little K will start with the books that he is familiar with, that are easy for him to read, and I'll read a new book and have them follow along. 

We can't wait to see what else grade 1 brings! Love these little boys so much. 💞

summer things

 Ahhhh we have a new baby in the family!! We are soo excited to finally meet baby A! My sister gave birth last week to a 8lbs 1oz adorable little new niece! I'm a very lucky Aunt! Surrounded by smart beautiful nieces! 

The cuteness! 

The kids are so in love with her. Little K told all his summer camp friends and teachers. I loved seeing the excitement on his face when we told him baby A was being born that day. Almost made me want to have more babies!!! Haha almost. Haha

The day my sister gave birth I brought my niece over to sleep over. They loved the little sleep over they got to have. 

Ugh she's the cutest. 

Over the weekend we had my brothers 40th bday.

My sister in law is a great party planner. Everything was set up so perfectly. We had a great time catching up with family and friends! 

 It's been pretty busy since we came back from our trip! It's been a go go go kinda summer so far. A lot of fun kind of go go go so it's amazing but exhausting at the same time haha. 

 I'm trying to get back on track! Of course exercising with a toddler is always fun.

We are looking to move too! (More on That in another post) So add that in the mix of a fun filled summer. We have a lot of house viewings which have had us out of the house eating a lot of fast food! It's time to get back on track with eating healthy! I need to make the healthier choice when out and about! 

I can't believe we are mid July! I just booked baby M's birthday party and cake! Really!!! He's going to be 2!

My baby is growing up so fast! 

We are having a TMNT party! 

I can't even remember when he was this little! I'll go cry now haha

 
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Father's Day weekend!

Our new traditions include Baseball for Mother's Day and Soccer for Father's Day! 

Our boys adore their father! 

They were so excited to watch the game and loved every second of it!

Of course we had all the goodies like popcorn and cotton candy and popsicles! Yum! 

 Last year it was tough sitting through full games but this year was much easier. The kids really enjoy these sports events! 

 There was so much for them to see and take in. Little K loves seeing the CN Tower and they love the crowds of people. They love the freedom of walking around and this big beautiful world all around them. 

They were exhausted at the end of the game and fell asleep the second we drove away. Which made for a peaceful very long ride home ha! 

The next morning we woke up and headed out for a Father's Day breakfast! Yum! 

 That night little k came up to me and asked me if I missed my daddy :( I told him of course I do, and that my daddy is in heaven and watches over us. He said he knew that  Nonno Louie was in heaven with Jesus.  How sweet. He totally melts my heart. I love that we can have these conversations too. 

This week is his last week of SK and September he will be off to grade 1. 

My little guys <3

 

 

 
 
 

 

Neighborhood Tranquility

Last weekend we found out that just steps away from our home leads us to a beautiful trail! We love walking in trails and usually drive to different parks around the city. Now we have one right in our neighborhood! 

So many big trees, it's so peaceful. 

 The trail still needs some work, we can't wait for it to be completed. It's great now but once they are done beautifying it even more it will be that much better :) 

We found a froggy

Little k loves nature walks. He's learning so much about nature in school, that's all we hear. Ha! "Look mom it's nature" haha 

It's a pretty long trail, great exercise and little k loved riding his 4 wheeler. 

Back on our street little k and his friends love switching cars. 

Ha! Love this pic! Neighborhood watch! 

Our little helper, watering the grass.

There's a little nest in our tree too!

Our backyard isn't complete yet, but we did get a fence which is great! 

My ideas of designing of the backyard changed from last year, we are still working on what will be best for both is and the kids. We have a lot of drawings ha! 

For now it's all about the kids, backyard fun! 

Oh and little set for Michael 

The kids have a blast jumping around. 

We are excited for a lot of summer fun!!
