Muffins and Naps

Hannah made the most incredible muffins! And she actually decorated them properly and made no mess. I was very proud.
So was she ... she got our her camera to :)

Jakey and Ced took power naps!

And then the wrestling began - it was super cute! They weigh the same so it was funny to watch.
I love them soooo much!

Cheers,
Sharon

Walking!

Walking in the beautiful/not so beautiful weather to/from grocery store/school.

Cheers!

Yay for Jakey!

This was Jakey's first gymnastics class!!! JAKEY LOVED LOVED LOVED it! You should have seen it! Hannah's class started at 9am, poor Jakey started to cry ... again he thought he had to sit and watch Hannah. Then something magic happened - I got him into a pair of shorts/shirt and BOOM! They called our class in!! It was incredible! He did everything they asked him to do, he waited for his turn, he was in HEAVEN! Now maybe that is because he never got the chance at a class or what but he was TOTALLY perfect! He never stopped smiling the entire day!

Hannah is doing the independent 3's class while Jakey and I do the Tall and Small class. Hannah, I, and Ced did it numerous times. It was nice to be back there! Hannah's instructor (Jamie) who she had 3 times was actually there for her first class this session ... and she remembered Hannah's name ... and Hannah remembered her! It was super sweet :)

Cheers,
Sharon

Cold Sports

That it was! First skating - it was in the cold rink ... I hate that rink! Hannah had a great time ... until she fell on her bony bum! About 40 minutes into it she was done. Oh well, it happens. She's still moving a lot more now. I'm so impressed - for a kid that couldn't do anything but sit on the ice to this - Kanata Hockey here we come!

Then it was home for lunch/play.

And of course - Hannah went to school. I cleaned/got things done.

When we picked Hannah up the kids went sliding on their bums for a while. I guess I should buy a sled :)

Then after dinner I left for volleyball - another win! First in the league as always.

Cheers!
Sharon

me and my munchkins

Ok, so it's been a bit crazy around here. Keeping up with the kids is getting super tough and trying to stay a float is like trying to swim, with one arm, no legs, and the water is geting colder! Ok, so it isn't that bad but seriously, it's tough. 

Aside from the regular school, brunch at Ced's parents, dance class, skating class, usual friends/playdate, and what nots, here is what has been shaking:

Feb. 26th - Lunched at Sally's place and all the princessess - Hannah, Cora, and Shayla got to dance and play to Hannah Montana CD's! Jakey, of course, ... joined them :)

Feb. 27th - Dawn and little Alex came over for some coffee in the afternoon.

Feb. 28th - Went for dinner with the Tatar's.

March 4th - Had my first book club meeting! 8 women made it, the book was Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and I had a gggggreat time! 

March 6th - Headed to Julie's in the morning for a playdate. At night, Angie & I went to see a movie while Ced, Mo, Ken, and Paul played NHL2009 - dweebs!

March 8th - Headed to Lonestar with Ian, Amanda, and Ellard for dinner.

Hannah's favorite sayings:

It wasn't me!

I'll be right back.

I love skating, it's my favorite, I fell down and hurt my bum but I got a high five and it's better.
