Ants

Edzea the bed hoarder went to get into her bed for her nap yesterday and it was crawling with ants. She had taken one of our brown camping boxes to make a “bed” for Brownie in her bed and it happened to be home to a horde of ants as well. So, needless to say…she was in my bed for her nap and then last night and of course Rohan too.

This stuff always goes down when Tim goes away. Tim’s big plan for his “work” fishing trip was: Sleep until 11am and then read, then nap again, eat & sleep. Although after loading a ton of books on to his Kindle, he promptly forgot to bring it. I did have a little smirk on my face when I saw that.

Anyways, Edzea is banned from having anything in her bed other than books and bedding from now on.

 

May Long Weekend Camping Trip

Back from first “tent” camping trip with kids ever! all under one roof and although sleep wasn’t completely uninterrupted, kids LOVED it! Some sand, some sun, some rain, great friends to help us through it -Maria, Yose & kids. To top it all off-we saw a turtle and beaver via their canoe! and a porcupine sleeping in his tree amongst other small wonders. Kids were enthralled. Looking to book our next trip soon!

Rohan was the most excited of all of them. He loved EVERYTHING! and was interested in EVERYTHING. Will post pics once Tim fixes the memory card problem again.

Great pictures for my landscape painting class as well!

The drive was only about an hour and 10 minutes from our house. Gorgeous drive west along Hwy 7 through a cute little town called Perth that was one to go back to for sure! Stayed at a campground called Murphy’s Point Provincial Campground. No motorized boats allowed. Access to the Rideau River from the little lake? or bay we were situated on.

Neve loves dirt, sand and water too!

Update Rohan

Rohan has been able to spell his name for about 6 months but he now writes it all by himself. Just wanted to get this down. At 3 yrs, 2 months he can write his full name. He’s also started drawing figures/faces etc.

Plus, today I was asked to come to the preschool for a Mother’s day presentation. So cute, he sang all the words and kept giving me hugs/kisses for the Mother’s Day songs etc. Presented me with a painted pot with pansies planted in it. (He’d been telling me about it all week!) I pretended to be surprised. I’ll upload picture of it when I get a chance.

Nana left today after a quick 2 weeks visit. It felt super fast this time around. No sickness for a change and she and I actually got to go to my painting class together on Sundays. It was a fantastic visit and we’re going to miss her. Summer isn’t too far off!

Happy 5th Birthday Edzea

Just a quick picture of Edzea in her full Snow White regalia for her party Saturday. I didn’t take many photos as it was so crazy busy. Approx 40  people…luckily resident photographer, Katherine Silcock-Ross (Allan’s wife) took tons and will send them to me soon! Will upload as I get them!
