More Christmas

We opened the gifts from Grandma D and Grandpa T. The boys sure loved everything.





D sure loved tearing the paper off of his gifts. He helped me pick up all the paper and put it on bags. He has really enjoyed being able to help out lately. He has been asking to carrying bags and tidying up all on his own.



Little A sure loved his books. He has been carrying around a gorilla that came with one of the books all day.



D has been asking A and myself to read books all day. As I type this A is on his fourth, I mean fifth, now sixth book in a row.

The Christmas Holidays!!

D wanted butterflies, moons and stars on his Christmas Tree this year. So A and I made the decorations for the tree out of cardboard and glitter glue. D and Little A loved the decorations.



Here they are in there Christmas Eve PJ's. We were lucky to have Grandma T come to our home for the Christmas holidays. The boys sure loved having her here.



Here is Darius playing with one of his new toys. It is a race track and with the controller he is able to make the cars go around all by himself. He was quite shocked to figure out he could go backwards, forwards and super fast. He likes to have A or myself race with him.



Little A sure loved all of his gifts. He is sure growing up so fast.



We had a wonderful Christmas dinner at Granny's with family and friends. On boxing day A, D, Little A, Grandma T and I all went to the aviation museum. The boys sure love all the planes and activity centers. D loves the open space and guides us around the museum to look at what he is interested in.

Today we have had a home day. Auntie J, E and A came over for a play date today. In the picture, Auntie J was pretending to be asleep and all the boys were trying to wake her up. The boys sure had a great time playing. E and A did not want to go and D and Little A did not want them to go. These boys sure love each other.



Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, with friends and family. May the new year bring many surprises and success for those we love and care for.

Update

The boys have been busy. A had a play date with K, who is close to his age. D was not there as he had a play date with his cousin A.







Then we took the boys and K*2 to a play area in a mall for some pictures.








It proved hard to get everyone to sit still for very long. But they sure had a blast.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

A was here!!!

A was over for a visit today. D and A had all their meals at the table today. They sure loved being seated together and sharing lunch together.



I put the pillows on the floor so that they could have a play. They sure loved it. Every time I picked them up they would put them back on the floor.



Little A got into the play as well.



Then they all got a snack of popcorn. This what a lot of fun for them. I had to bring out the vacuum to clean up all the crumbs (hehehe). It was all worth it seeing the fun the three had sharing a snack.

PD Day!!

It was a PD day for K and E. They came over for a play. The boys were all in blue and orange ( as arranged by a phone call this morning).



I had some leftover birthday cake. They all had a great time having their snack. I had six kids at my table.


The Crew


A sure loved feeding himself.


D just licked off the icing and then handed his to K.


A sure loved his.


K had a piece of cake, as I ran out of small cupcakes.


K sure was into all the fun.

Next time I do some baking I will make sure I invite over the crew to help me finish it off. hahaha

Aviation Museum

We went to the aviation museum today with Granny and K. They had a great time running around in this giant room. D sure loved the planes. He was so in awe with everything that he asked to sit in the stroller the first time through so he could see everything.



Little A got out for a run, and was excited with everything he saw and could touch.



They all played in the kids area for a bit (even though it was still closed due to school programs). They all liked being in the balloon together.



D loved the letters on the floor of this room.



D sure was happy to be at the museum today. He kept pointing to and saying plane.



They all shared a snack together. They love their smarties.

Gym day

We went to the gym close to our house today. The boys sure enjoy it.



A loves crawling through the tunnels. He was walking all over the place today.



D enjoys jumping into the foam pit. (D also loves shooting at the basketball nets you see in the background)



D also loves jumping on the trampolines (big and small).



The last activity on the trampoline is everyone sits down and the instructor jumps on the outside. A loved it. D wanted to help the instructor jump. We go every week. It is a lot of fun.

The Kid's Room is Done!!

The boys are both in overalls today. I think they look so cute in them.



I have finally finished the kids room. I made this valence for over their window. Here are some pictures of their room. I am slowly replacing the brightly coloured bugs with printed pictures of real ones.







Here are some play areas I have created for the boys in the living room and the old dining room.


(art storage, hats and capes)

(snack and colouring area)

They sure love the way the house is setup now. They chase each other around and around. As was witnessed by Grandpa T when he was here for a visit last night.

Hanging out with K

K was home from school sick today. She came down for a bowl of ice cream. The boys sure love her, and hanging out with her.

Harvest Party

Instead of going out for Halloween, we went to a Harvest Party instead. The boys sure had a lot of fun. Their cousins were there too. It was a jungle theme. D was a jaguar, and he would not keep on his ears. Little A was a lion.
