Work day.

Nelson decided to fix the toys one day! Then we went to visit Daddy at magic mountain! Just another day in our world !

Road trip

Last Wednesday a group of fifty youth and leaders from around our area climbed in a bus with a loaded bus from Halifax following behind and we hit the road heading to Rhode Island for a youth conference !
It was loud and tiring but it was great . The youth had a great Time and so did the leaders .
Lenon was a trooper . He was pretty much the trip mascot ha ha.

Special Helper

Today at preschool NoZy was chosen to be the special helper . I heard his name being called and he didn't realize what was going on . I wasn't sure he would go up , but when he figured out what they were saying , off he ran!
I see him slowly coming out of his shell. He's not a shy guy but he doesn't really like doing different things than he is used to.
It's fun watching him do new things !

Green thumb?

For the past 3 years I've struggled to get fruitful garden where we live . In our previous homes I haven't had any problems at all. So I have concluded that it's the soil here.
Last year I tried to add to our soil and still no results.
So I am fed up and will now try a diff approach.
Garden boxes full of rich beautiful Steeves excavating topsoil!!!!!!!!!!
I am building 4by 8 boxes and Iam starting with 4 of them.

I am excited to see a descent crop this year again .
So to awaken the same excitement
In the kids I pulled out planter kits I bought for them awhile ago!

So we got to work . We planted tomatoes , green peppers, beans. The boys will have their own garden box to care for and they are excited about it .
We will see how long the excitement lasts.....
So we put there potted seeds in the sunroom and in a week or so we will be watching them grow !!!!!!

Born a musician

Haha well today I saw lenon playing music . It was cute . Wonder if he will be a musician like we sort of expect . No pressure but we all sort of think he will be the free spirited musician type . That would be cool. My dad is musically inclined but it seems to of skipped his kids but reappeared in the grand kids . Jenny and Joe got the gene so maybe at least one of ours will. Who knows I guess .

debt free

I am pretty pumped about the junior financial peace set I got for the boys . Today we pulled it all out and are going to start teaching and applying the principles for the kids .
It's some amazing stuff .
We learnt alot from the adult course . So to be able to start teaching the boys from the beginning how to deal with their finances is so cool !
I also got the cool money banks that back up the Give /Save/Spend principle .

Super Saturday

Last Saturday we had a family day. After lunch we packed up and hit the road to the shop/ nanny and papas house. We played and worked at the shop. We searched the woods for scrap metal to retrieve . We wanted the boys to work and earn a few dollars . Then we hopped in the kubota and went for a tour. First to Kenny's to feed the chickens and see the baby kids ( goats) then we went and scoped out the canadian goose nest . It was pretty awesome. We are hoping to be able to see the newly hatched babies . Hopefully we don't miss it ! Great learning experience for the boys .
Great day!
