Best Friends


Here's a picture of Bella and her best friend Teresa. These two are always together. Teresa, along with her Nana, work the lunch hour at the school with Bella and me. It's funny to see the two of them together. Both are the youngest, both are headstrong. They will be going to kindergarten together this September. I feel sorry for their teacher. They are going to give him a run for his money.
The count down to the last day of school is on. I think the kids and I are done. Doing homework has become such an effort. (even on my part) I know I'll regret writing that. Come August I'll be screaming for them to go back to school.

Blue Skies and Bike Rides

You know that the summer season is around the corner when the bikes come out. This weekend we pulled the bikes out for the kids and fixed them up. Now we have tried to bring them out before. But every time we have, it snowed. Not a little bit, a foot of it. So don't blame us for being a little cautious in doing it. I have a feeling that we won't see Riley now until it snows again. His life revolves around bike riding. This summer we are bound and determined to get Bailey riding without training wheels. She needs to put some time and effort into it though.

Isn't she lovely. This is what happens when you eat a chocolate cookie. We were laughing so hard. I'm surprised that this picture turned out. It was hard to get a good one.

Three Amigos

I wanted a group hug and this is what I got. I had to push Riley closer so I could take the picture. Oh well you take what you can get.

I just got back from a field trip I went on with Bailey. We headed to Fort Edmonton for the morning. It was lots of fun. I was on Molasses Candy duty. I stood over a hot burning stove for two hours making candy. Now the weather here is damp and cold. A nice roaring fire would be a pleasant welcome for someone who has just come in from outside. Nice roaring fire my butt. That thing was dang hot. I'm so glad I live in a time period where we have modern technology like ELECTRICITY.
