Easter Sunday 2011

Oh family shots make me laugh. It took quite a few shots to get one with everyone looking,no hands in mouth or in front of faces. Oh and if I could have done without a photo of-almost 34 week pregnant mom, not feeling or looking even remotely presentable....but this is 2011 Easter. The best part of this photo is how Justin's smile kinda looks like Mr. Bean, and how you can see straight up A's nose!

Reading A

I know I just posted a video, but A was reading to her baby the other day and it was soo cute.

So far Justin you are totally losing on passing down personal interests!!

Preschool Soccer Camp

This week was K first time participating in sports!
Last Month I signed her up for Preschool Soccer, all the while hoping she would take after her Daddy and NOT her Mommy when it came to sports.










She actually did pretty well. The first day Daddy came to watch and she listened to coach Spike pretty well. The best part of Monday was watching K try and put one foot on the ball. HAHA it was hilarious- for the first 1/2 hour she had to put her arms out to balance herself!!

She did eventually get better at it, but she's still a girl- my girl in fact.

The second day was horrendous. We got to the soccer field and K had a major MAJOR melt down. She wouldn't play, she was sobbing and nothing I could say would convince her to try. So after 15 mins of bawling Mommy handed a down a ultimatum. Go Play Soccer and have fun or go home for a nap- she choose THE NAP!!!
ARGH!
So we went home for a nap.

Wednesday went great. We talked about soccer all morning, K wore her striped pants just like coach Spike, and she wore her PINK sweater for good luck! She did so good!

Thursday- was her best day yet. At least it was once we actually got there. Daddy made a special phone call for K to convince her to back to soccer for one last day. Once we got there she did so good. They played this game with mini cones. One team turned them upside right, and the other team tried to turn them upside down. It was hilarious. 

I am glad we put K in, even though we are now sure that is soccer isn't her thing. Maybe Justin will get a girl athlete in A, but it sure was adorable when K would just say to me "Mommy, lets just go to singing class instead!" Oh you are so my child K!!

Pure Chaos

Saturday we set out for errands- mostly just grocery's and what not.
For Lunch we ended up at McDonald's (yes its because we are great parents and LOVE our children enough to eat there- not because pregnant Momma is really enjoying McDonalds Diet Coke) saw Dianne, Ron and Jen there.

They informed us of this Easter Children's Festival going on at the exhibition grounds.
We thought that sounded like a fun afternoon and headed over to check it out.

I kid you not-

Pure. Chaos.

There we so many families there it was crazy.

The first thing the girls wanted to try was the bouncy house. So the girls and I waited in line for 20 minutes while Justin stood in line for Face Painting. The girls jumped around for like 2 minutes before getting out- so we went over to get in line with dad. After not moving for 20 minutes MORE I convinced K that she didn't need her face painted!

So we did the petting Zoo- at least K did the petting Zoo. A was scared of the animals.


Shrek and Fiona even made a appearance. They did a little performance/dance thing, with too much talking in between, the girls watched for 15 minutes before wanting to move on.
The picture of the Shrek crowd, this is probably only 1/3 of how many people were there!

Next we stopped at a train car and a play house with a tea party happen'. Oh and we had some FAB homemade Root Beer.

 Sat in a Fire Truck and did Bean Bag Toss and Fishing. Now here's my problem with this years CHILDREN'S Festival.


 They had all these activities, but did not give out prizes for various reasons.

For the Bean Bag Toss they had to get 2 bags in- regardless of age and only got 1 shot. It sounds reasonable right, sure if the kids got a couple tries.... but 1 try per kid. And the Women in charge was defiantly NOT kid friendly- she was rather rude and grumpy.

At the Fishing hey would only get a prize if they caught a "special" fish. Try telling a 2 year old, that her sister got a prize but she doesn't get one cause she's NOT SPECIAL???

We did have fun, and the girls did enjoy themselves for the most part... However we did end up leaving with 2 girls having a melt down. We thought we saved the bikes for last cause the girls LOVE bikes. So we go over to the huge obstacle course put on by the RCMP get them signed up- waited in line for a helmet and when it was finally our turn the girls would NOT cooperate. All they had to do was show that the helmet fit. K was first, and she would NOT do it... all she had to do was shake her head, if she didn't she was not allowed on a bike. She refused.. so Justin took her out of line and we gave A a try. And surprise surprise she had to copy her sister and be just as stubborn. So we left with 2 screaming little girls.


They passed out in the van almost instantly. I would love to say it was Fantastic but honestly it was a gong show. Maybe next time we try something of this nature........ it will go better??!?!
