May Long Weekend Update etc.

Here are some pics from last weekend and from Tim’s paternity leave week. We had a busy long weekend. A birthday party at Haydon’s house for his Daddy Paul on Saturday night. See pics of Edzea pulling Georgia in the wagon and then Haydon pulling the girls. It was a beautiful day. The bugs are not out yet so we’ve spent plenty of time outdoors.

The next night I forgot my camera but Yose & Maria invited us to go for a bbq picnic at the Yellowknife River which was great again. Beautiful weather and they brought their canoe and Edzea got to go for a ride which she loved.

Emily’s 2nd birthday party was on Saturday and all Edzea cared about was the cake. She embarassingly kept yelling out “where’s the cake” during the very very sedate/quiet gift opening. You can see she enjoys her cake our girl.

We took her to Canadian Tire on Wednesday after her day at Nancy’s house to pick out a new tricycle which was a gift from Grandma & Grandpa. She is enjoying it and slowly learning to pedal. She’s still a little small for it but she likes to try!

For the first time in AGES, Edzea played by herself in her sandbox giving Mommy & Daddy a break for a change. We are LOVING our sandbox! She is starting to discover that not having Mommy & Daddy constantly hovering over you isn’t so bad. You can take off your socks & shoes in your sandbox and start covering your whole body with sand. She kept looking over her shoulder to see if we were looking while she did this. We pretended not to notice until later as we were happy she was occupying herself for a change! Here we come Mabel Lake beaches!

Oh, there’s also a pic of Daddy’s sandwich presentation for lunch one day. Daddy is experiencing all aspects of being a stay-at-home Dad…he’s decided that work is less stressful. At least people “pretend” to do what you say there. They don’t throw themselves on the ground in fits of defiance.

Ok, enjoy the pics.
