Art Festival

Another great kids event in kamloops. Elliott really loved making art this year and Finn was right in there for the clown act. Finn in orange, ej in blue.

We are all doing well actually. Elliott finished his first full week at school, and me at work, and Finny at daycare. So we celebrated with an ice cream in the park after dinner. Finny ended up eating most of his- thanks heavens the river was close for a clean-up afterwards.

penny

Phew- THAT was a challenging week and I am so glad that it is over. One of the curve-balls was that our cat Penny died suddenly on Thursday morning. We held off telling Elliott knowing that he would be upset. Last night we buried her in our backyard.  It was raining, elliott wailed and we sang songs. Penny was so awesome with our kids and we so loved her for that.

'twas the night before kindergarten...

And my elliott is so scared. "Not even a little bit mom" he said. New situations are his nemesis. He'll be great by the end of the week. We tried to distract him with fun stuff today. Like paper airplanes just before bath.

lollipop

I can't imagine a person ever enjoying a lollipop more than finn does. He sucks that think and only very occasionally does he take it out to stare at it. Sometimes I give them to him on car trips... they keep him very quiet for 30 min. These photos capture how serious he takes it.
