LEPRACHAUN TRAPS

This year for Kindergarten Wade got to make a Leprachaun trap. Macie with her love for crafting also wanted to make one, so we doubled up on our supplies at the dollar store. They had great fun making their traps and Wade loved taking his to school to show his teacher. He brought it home on Friday from school having unsuccessfully caught a Leprachaun. So Saturday night we put the kids traps on the kitchen island and that silly Leprachaun somehow swiped our coins and got away. He did though leave us with some Lucky Charms to have for breakfast that morning and some skittles to enjoy.

MOMMY'S AND MACIE'S YEARLY TRIP!!

Every year since Macie was very little we have gone on a Mom and Daughter trip, the first year was to Calgary for Disney on Ice, then we moved to Cold Lake so our yearly trip switch to driving to Lloydminster to watch plays put on buy a Jr Acting program. First year was Annie, then The Little Mermaid, Last year was The Lion King, and this year was The Wizard of Oz. I was so excited as this is one of my all time favorite movies.  It's been fun watching these kids every year get better and more confident with there acting. Me and Macie this year started buy some shopping then Lunch at the best Mom and Pa restaurant ever (Tasty K's). Donairs and soups were loved and devoured by me and Macie. Then off to the play, they did such a good job and we both loved watching it. After the play we did some more shopping then Marble Slab Cremary for some ice cream. This is one of my favorite traditions to do every year with Macie and I love the fun we have and the bond we are building in our relationship, I can't wait to start bringing Kansas with us next year.

Kansas & Puzzles

Kansas loves her puzzles.

Today I was watching her do some puzzles. I was very impressed with her ability to do the magnetic fishing one. She is able to control the swinging magnet by dropping it near the piece she wants to pick up, then dragging the magnet to the metal tack and lifting the fish and shaking it off into a container. She did this so fast and efficient, it was like watching a 5 year old, maybe even better.

 

Kansas also loves her ice-cream- watch out if you try to take away her cone. That was a 1 hour long tantrum. I had to, she was almost done and was making a huge mess because it was melting all over.

I know you think I am a barbarian, steeling a cone from a baby, but it needed to be done.

SPRING FINALLY

Well Spring may have temporarily arrived, but it has been so nice the last few days. There is so much melting happening.
As a family we have been outside quite a bit going on walks or playing. Today the kids were extra sugared up with Lucky charms. Our walk was looking to be the 6 km run around Sobey's and back home. The walk was cut short when Wade tried to avoid a large puddle lake by walking in the snow adjacent to the side walk. He ran an jumped and fell over. The snow was held up by 3"-6" of water. This wasn't what Wade was expecting, and he fell down. He yelled, "I'm drowning, I'm drowning! Help Help!"  Watching him crying and screaming was kind of funny because the water was only at his shoulder blade as he was laying down. Mom ran to his rescue and pulled him up. Yes he was very cold.
Luckily the sun was very warm and we made it home in one piece
