Summer days

A friend and I met up yesterday for a playdate with the kids. We enjoyed a nice breakfast. The kids were well behaved until the end when little K had enough and was anxious to run around, he threw his plate of food to the ground. Blueberries and bread all scattered all over the floor ha! 

We then headed to a park so the kids can get filthy haha yes playing in sand. Sand was everywhere!!!! I'm soooo not a fan of sand playgrounds. Sand is for the beach! 

My friend put together this picture of us and the kids growing up. They will be 2 soon! 2!!!!

Later in the evening we had a BBQ dinner outside. Summer feels like its slipping away too quickly! 

Little K and Zoe are best friends. They are adorable playing together. Yesterday it was hide and seek I think ha!! 

Summer is ending soon and little K will be starting a new daycare very soon! More about this later! 

Happy Friday! 

Long weekend outdoor fun

(Late post!) We had a long weekend! We spent most our time outdoors. Backyard bbq's and walks in the park. 

Saturday night we had a small BBQ at our house. We had a lot of left over food that we ate throughout the rest of the weekend! I ate way too many sweets and back on track today! 

The kids had so much fun playing together Saturday.

It's already August and I know it will just fly by! This coming weekend we have a wedding and my birthday is coming up too! Wha! Another year older!

Lets slow down time! 

Eek we saw a little snake at the park! 

Little ones first haircut at the salon

My mother inlaw is a hairdresser and little K had his first haircut! My little guy's hair grew in pretty slow! But it's been getting out of control these days so it was time for a haircut! 

When we first got him to sit he refused and just yelled NO NO when we touched his hair. We thought we wouldn't be able to cut his hair today! He was just not having it! 

But the second time around we had the help of the iPad and blueberries ha! He ate and pretended to feed the bunny his blueberries and that kept him occupied! 

Mil had to work fast! 

I'm sooo happy he sat through it!! 

He looks sooo cute with his new haircut!!! 

Before and after 

Yay!!!! 

My birthday weekend

Ahhh my birthday. Another year older. I'm not thrilled about it ha! 

The weekend started off with a friends wedding. I wore my new black dress with my new sparkly shoes but the shoes hurt my scrape on my ankle from last weeks fall so I ended up wearing my favorite heels at the end of the night. 

  

Then Saturday night we stayed in to have our own little family birthday dinner. We ordered Italian mmmm! 

Little K loved it.

I share my birthday with my mom. So on our birthday we got together for a bday breakfast. 

We had a great time! 

Photo shoot with the littles

PMy moms birthday (and mine, same day!) is coming up! So we decided to do a little photo shoot with the littles for a canvas picture birthday gift for our mom. 

Kristian was not impressed at first. 

He wanted to PLAY at the park not pose for pictures! The nerve! Haha. It was sooo hard getting him to participate. He rather play in the sand and throw pebbles haha! 

We did manage to get some good shots though. 

The kids were adorable!!!! 

Once we went back inside and had a snack it was a little more calmer getting them all together.

21 months old huh 21?

Baby K is 21 months old! I had to count the months over and over and even asked my friend how old her son was because they are a month apart. 21 months old!!! Where are these days going! 

Little man is still in size 18 months and size 4 diapers. Shoe size will be moving up to 5.5 or 6 soon. He's 21 months 21 pounds ha! 

He is learning 1-2 new words a day! He surprises me when I hear them! I always ask who taught him that! ha! Everything he does is so amazing to me haha. He is over 50 words and he is trying real sentences. On the weekend his hat fell and he repeated. Hat,fall, head. Ha! 

He loves to match things. He will find similar looking toys and bring them together. Or if he's reading a book and sees something like a sheep, he will get his sheep toy to read along with him. He started doing this as early as 13 months that I can remember. He would bring the cat flash card over to show Zoe ha! He has a strong personality already! He's smooth and demanding. Loves to cuddle and is sweet but also very demanding. It makes us laugh but also scares us a little because as parents we need to know the balance of allowing him to get away with too much. 

He is still a great eater but gets tough sometimes because he will demand certain things he wants and has zero patience. When he wants ice cream he will repeat it a thousand times and won't give up until he gets it! 

He's always raiding the snack drawer! 

Avocados, sweet peppers, Oreos and ice cream are currently on the fave list.  

At 21 months what do you love to do? RUN the minute you learned to run you ran and still doing just that. 

I found a new big park and it's perfect for you! 

Weekend date night and family fun

Saturday  night my husband and I went out for a steak dinner! We went to a restaurant that has been around for over 50 years. The ambiance was romantic and old fashion as the restaurant is set up inside an old city house. We had a delicious dinner. Escargots, garlic bread and pickled veggies, steak and a baked potato and a nice bottle of wine. 

 

I took a Pinterest inspired fashion tip by adding a lace slip to my dress to add some length and it worked perfectly. 

The Sunday morning we went to Marineland with my brother and his family.

We had so much fun! And the kids loved it! 

Kris was shocked at the dolphins ha! 

We went on some rides and had a great time at the park. 

We even got to see a 10 hour old beluga whale! 

On our way home we stopped by the falls for a short walk. Kristian was so excited and loved seeing the falls.
