the fair

Yesterday afternoon the kids and I were hanging out and playing outside. They were being very good. Kenzie said that she really wanted to see her friends Shannon, Jenna and Rachel. I told Kenzie that she couldn’t see then because Jenna had a soccer game and they wouldn’t be home. So Kenzie very astutely suggested that we go watch the game. So I called Sue and asked if we could join them. We gathered our blanket, water bottles, apples and crackers and packed up the chariot. The kids jumped in and we headed to the park. We had fun watching Jenna play soccer (she scored a goal – yay Jenna!!). Seb, Kenzie and Rachel also had a fun time at the playground. CJ and Brian also joined us at the park when they were finished work.

By the time the game was over we were having too much fun and didn’t want it to end. So we invited the Woocks over to our place for an evening drink (& popsicles for the kids). It was a very fun evening with some very funny moments.

So the kids went to bed way too late (it was adorable when Kenzie, Rachel and Jenna all sang songs to Seb when he went to bed). This morning they were little hellions – very moody and whiny. We put them to bed for naps extremely early today – before noon. Luckily they had good naps. While they were napping CJ went to play guitar with his music buds.

Later this afternoon Nana (CJ’s mom) arrived and CJ came back home. Once the kids woke up we decided to hit the Oak Ridges Fair. It was actually really fun. The kids went on rides, ate cotton candy and snow cones, and played games. We had a really good time. I was actually pretty impressed by the kids and all the rides they went on. They even went on the giant Ferris wheel with CJ and they did great!

That’s CJ giving me the 143 sign up there.




Kenzie got a basket and won a Care Bear.








We came home, had dinner and now are watching cartoons before bedtime.

I am looking forward to another fun day tomorrow. Happy father’s Day to all the dad’s out there… but especially to my honey. CJ, I love you with all my heart. You are an amazing dad and our kids are so lucky to have you – so am I!
