Love at first bite?!?!

I forgot to post this picture from a BBQ we attended back in June.  Ethan was immediately attracted to this little girl.  At first I thought it was because she was so cute or perhaps because they were close in age.  I was wrong on both accounts.  He wanted her for her fruit loop necklace.  Ladies, there is one way and one way only to this boy's heart...through his stomach. 

Berry Picking!

It was hot, hot, hot!  Halle was such a good little helper. She picked over a litre of CLEAN berries by herself!!! It's moments like that I am so proud! ha ha  She'll be a great help during the blueberry season.  Ethan on the other hand, as a friend of mine said, should have been weighed on the way into the U-Pick.  There was no concealing the fact that he sampled a few berries for quality whilst in the patch. 

More random goofiness...

Boating fun!

Happy Canada Day!!

This happens to be one of Halle's favorite holidays.  That girl sure loves everything Canadian: bacon, the flag, the national anthem, the 49th.1 parallel - you get the idea. 

I cannot believe how much that picture describes a typical day around here.  Halle doing something goofy and Ethan looking like he can't for the life of him figure her out!! Does his face not say 'Seriously?!?!? Seriously?!?!? THAT is my sister?!?!?'

40 Days and Nights

When the kids started trying to build an arc out of duplo and all the stuffed animals were lined up two by two, I decided that the 40 consecutive days of rain was making everyone a little crazy.  Obviously I was the worse off because I thought once again, it would be a good idea to try finger painting with Ethan....

The BFF's Birthday

And everyone was a little excited!!
