be back soon!

I have been really terrible at this blogging thing recently! So much has been going on in my family over the past few months I just haven't had the time, the pictures, or the desire to blog.

But I hope to be back soon with some of the activities we’ve been doing as well as some crafts and some new recipes!

Tot School (Its been awhile!)

Lucas is 17Months

It has been awhile since my last tot-school post (or any post for that matter!) and the reason for this is that we are moving!!  

We decided a few weeks ago that it was time for us to move (my hubby started a new job awhile ago and the commute is becoming too much) So we have been spending the bulk of our spare time fixing little things around the house and trying to keep it spotless for when realtors come. All our work has paid off because our house is now sold after only 8 days on the market! It all seems to be happening SO fast my head is spinning!!!

I’m Scared since we are moving quite far from all my family – it’s only a 2hr drive but it still seems very far!

But Im also pretty excited about it too, we bought our new house yesterday and it is in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of nice parks & walking trails. We are also going to be able to walk to the library & rec centre!!

and now about Tot-School, here are some pictures from over the last 2 weeks...

I wrote a post a few days ago about how Lucas loves to help his mama, well he likes to help daddy too!

Daddy was raking up the yard waste and Lucas brought over his shovel to "elp daddy"

here he is putting the berries in the bag.

We've been spending a lot of time outside, so that our house stays clean : ) 

Lucas is beginning to enjoy the park, at first he wasn't so sure but after big brother showed him how to slide he got the hang of it. 

We did some work with small spaces this week 

He really enjoyed doing this and filled every hole

It took lots of concentration : ) 

I picked up some of these at Michaels a few weeks ago for Dominic

and this week I set it our for Lucas he really enjoyed "jabbing" the brush at the paper.

We also used our Melissa and Doug beads this week

We threaded them on to a string and made necklaces!

He needed a bit of help with getting the beads on the string but he still really enjoyed doing it. I left the beads and string out on our activity table for a few days and he kept going back to it. 

Does anyone else LOVE Laurie Berkner like we do?? 

We listen to her music almost everyday, and if we're not listening to it we're signing it!!

Here is Lucas with an old cell phone singing  'Telephone' from the We Are.... The Laurie Berkner Band CD Its his most favorite song right now he is always running around the house saying "helloooooooooooooo hellooooooooooooooo"  

Captain Destructo!!

While Dominic was at school today I started reorganizing his room and switching around his furniture. I took all his toy bins off of his shelf and piled them into the corner while I dusted and moved the shelf to a different corner of the room. Before putting everything back on the shelves I had to go to the washroom, usually I take Lucas with me but he was sitting quietly looking at his books so I left him there. As I was in the washroom I heard crashing and banging and then some more crashing and banging.

I was gone for less then 2 minutes when I returned to this......

I guess Kim from Mom Tried It is right,  going to the washroom without an audience is overrated! lol

Thinking Warm Thoughts.....

Summer is almost here.. just a few more months and we'll be back on the beach

A Day At The Park

We had some beautiful weather last week so Lucas and I headed to the park.

He thought walking on the sand was funny.

He didn't want to touch the sand though....

He was trying to pick up the stick but every time he tried he got a handful of sand, he really didn't like the feel of the sand!

He also was not to fond of the swings!!

He was just content to run around in the sand...

I can't wait for more beautiful weather!!
