My Kids!

My Day!





Do you think they need a bath?



8 pairs of wet pee soaked panties and pants

3 loads of laundry

2 Green faces

and 1 bowl of spilled cat food

Today I feel like I spent the whole day changing diapers, and dragging an unwilling toddler to the potty, dressing and undressing kids, folding clothes and lecturing about peeing on the potty and coloring on paper only!

Yep! That was it! MY DAY!

A Floater at the Pool!

It was brown and it came out of Grace's swimsuit and it was EVERYWHERE. It was in the baby pool, on the deck and in the hot tub!

I have read other people's blogs and there are lots of poo stories out there but this one beats them all! In a public pool of all places - other people cleaned it up and they had to drain the pool. It was a big deal! It was not just a smear on the carpet or on the walls, it was in the public pool!

I was showering (taking any responsiblity off of me BTW) when Kevin quickly removed Grace from the baby pool when he discovered a floater. He notified the staff of the problem, unaware that he was holding the guilty party. Soon he discovered the source and was not so quick to draw anymore attention to the growing situation. I was so embarassed as I waited in the pool area for Kevin and Grace as the staff cleaned up my daughters mess. They looked pretty annoyed -- and for good reason! Who wants to clean up poo?!

Unfortuantely, Grace was clueless about how horrible the situation was. I don't think it will help in teaching her that poo in panties or pools is a no-no!

Taking Pictures



These are a sample of Grace's photography. Not bad for a 3 year old! We didn't, however, include the ones of the ceiling and the floor.

Trick or Treating And Halloween Fun!




We started out at about 6:30pm and it lasted for about an hour. Walking around our neighbourhood, Grace dressed as a lamb and Braden as a cow, knocking on doors and asking for treats. We went with our neighbours Chris and Corry and their little girl Aniesa. Our street was very alive with all sorts of characters carring their treats and looking for more. The street was decked out with some fun and some very scary decorations all adding to a party atmosphere. It was GREAT and everyone had a lot of fun!

We finished off our evening by meeting up with the other Bond family at the Peter's house for the annual fire, hotdogs, chili and pie. The kids were soooo tired, Grace could hardly stay awake to get her pajamas on. She walked to her bed and fell asleep half on and half off her bed and stayed there until Kevin came back with her water. I wish I had gotten a picture of that one!
