Father's Day

During the past week we've been getting ready for father's day by making crafts, cards and baking. This is a picture of Owen's father's day card. He has just recently started to draw recognizable pictures. If you look closely you can see the face (drawn in blue marker) on his picture of daddy. The red object in the left hand corner is a balloon. So far he likes to draw pictures of daddy, the sun and balloons.


This is the inside of the card. We have been practicing writing his name and I think he's done a great job! we cut an apple in half covered it in red paint and stamped the apple on the page. The kids painted their fingertips and made finger print caterpillars, the card reads "You are the apple of my eye, I love you to the core"


We also made use of our rock collection and painted "dad rocks".

So there you have it. That's what makes the worlds most perfect daddy :)

Saturday we slept in, gave Gavin his father's day gifts and then we took the kids to see Toy Story 3. It was awesome and surprisingly Noah watched the entire movie. Yes, we were brave to try and take both kids but I didn't want to stay home with Noah I wanted to see the movie as well.

Today we spent the day with Gavin's family and had a great time. The kids spent the afternoon in the kiddie pool and playing with Kian's bubble lawn mower. I think Owen and Noah were waterlogged by the time we went home and Noah was sleeping in his car seat before we hit the end of their street! Neither of the boys had slept in the afternoon (Noah fell asleep in the swing in the morning and that threw his afternoon nap off) and were exhausted. Now that Kian is mobile things are really getting fun at family get togethers. Busier for sure, but fun nonetheless!
