recent tidbits.
- our boys have turned into bacon monsters. they. love. bacon! loving bacon seems like such a stereotypical boy thing to me, so i think it's kind of funny.
- holden is getting so good at riding his balance bike. he likes just about anything chet likes to do (and chet loooves riding his bike) so it doesn't surprise me that holden has been excited to learn and practice. plus, holden seems to be pretty coordinated with things like that.
- we went to see the paddington bear movie the other weekend. such a cute show. we went to the library a few days later with the specific purpose of finding some paddington books to bring home. i remember liking paddington when i was a kid, so i like that our boys like him too.
- on friday evening, we went on a bike ride to a little bakery in fish creek park, called annie's. it was a very windy day, but we toughed it out. we packed a picnic dinner to eat outside and then we headed inside for some ice cream.
- we had our first fire of the season last night in matt's parent's backyard. i don't love smelling like a fire, but i sure do love sitting next to one. i love watching the flames dance around, and the way the fire lights up our boys' faces when they sit and watch it too.
- this isn't necessarily a 'recent' tidbit - it has been happening for the past year - but this is the first time i have actually thought to write it down. for some reason, chet has confused the name 'maple leaf' with 'nipple leaf'. i'm not sure how?! in my mind, they aren't similar at all! but, either way, several times a week (because we live in canada and have lots of maple leaf flags around our city) we are blessed to hear chet refer to the patriotic maple leaf as the 'nipple leaf'.
- we have started coming up with a list of special things we would like to do this summer. the list includes things like going to the zoo with dad, watch fireworks, ride a horse, jump in the lake, etc.. chet's most recent addition to the list is 'seeing a shooting star'... that might be a tricky one to schedule in! i am very excited to start in on our summer list.
this is holden, after driving home from a day at aunt rebecca's house.
our boys play at aunt rebecca's house on the days that i work (monday/friday).
they always have so much fun there - they never want to leave when i come to pick them up!
on the specific day that this picture was taken, he fell asleep on the drive home and did not wake as i hauled him in the house, laid him on the floor, or when i changed his diaper!
he must have been working hard to keep up with the big kids all day.
