Helping Mommy

Elise always wants to help when I'm cooking... she does pretty good :)

The Zoo!

So way back when.... at the end of July... we went to the Toronto Zoo. We had a great time! Elise loved it... to bad the prices are so ridiculous. It's taken forever for me to just finish the pics... but here they are!

Elise and the BIG wormy.

A Birthday Yardsale... on August 8th 2009

We had a great day at Aunt Linda's and Uncle Allan's on August the 8th for their yardsale. And we got to see the birthday boy himself, Uncle Elymer... I hope you had a great day!

A girl in her glory!



Isaac and Grandma taking a break under the tree.



Elise and Isaac having fun on the swing!





I'm not sure what kind of face this is... haha... but I still think it's cute.

Lunch

Today's lunch was a wonderful myriad of edible scraps found in the fridge. Isaac had squash and oatmeal.. always a favourite. I had a plastic cheese wiz sandwich - the sandwich was real.. just the cheese wiz was plastic - and Miss Elise opted for spaghetti. No, she INSISTED on spaghetti. Lucky for her (who am I kidding... lucky for ME) we had some leftover from supper the other night.

I have Isaac's squash defrosting, and I set out to prepare Elise's spaghetti. I have Isaac in one arm, the phone on the other shoulder talking to Brian, and I'm reaching into the fridge for the container of spaghetti.....when BAM!!! Isaac pulls open the freezer door and nearly knocks me out. Note to me: Isaac can open the fridge/freezer doors.... at 8 months. I'm in for it once he starts getting more mobile.

In the end we're all full... that's all that counts some days.

A surprise visit...

On Thursday Aug 12 we decided to give Grandma and Papa a surprise visit. However, Grandma was equipped with her own surprises.... tattoo's.... I'll let it slip this time... but only because they wash off. If they were permanent then Grandma would definitely get a BIG time out!

Papa's babysitting...

This is what happens when Papa babysits...
