Birthday party fun

When you're six months pregnant and have kids who have birthdays pretty close together, you go for the path of least resistance. What that meant for my kids and their friends was a night at the Steinbach Aquatic Centre.

Why it's good to see what your kid is playing on the computer...

This is apparently Elijah's latest discovery and favorite game.

It's called Gory Penguin Wacker. You may or may not want to check out what my almost four year old is playing.

Pretties

Lillian loves her pretties. Offer to put pretties in her hair and she'll ask for more. She also snagged this purse from my mom on Friday night. She has been walking around with it ever since. It was quite a sight to see her walking through Walmart with a purse that was pretty much as big as her.

First day of pre-school

First day was a success. He had a good time playing with a castle and helped a boy with some toys. Looks like we've got a fun year ahead.

The van

We're heading to pick it up on Friday. After some thought and a little consideration, we've purchased a 2006 Toyota Sienna. Unbeknownst to us, we have purchased a Swagger Wagon. (Feel free to cruise You Tube to see the various commercials.) Good times. I am now officially a mom.

It starts at a young age

Lilllian has taken over Elijah's computer which he never uses because he has taken over our computer. That kid can navigate a computer in a way that scares me. I still remember sending my first email (It was 2004. Computer lab (a.k.a. room with four computers) at Sahel Academy in Niger. I think it cost me a dollar.) I'm about to take bets on how long it will take for me to start asking my kids for help on the computer.
