A hodgepodge....

Today was another relatively uneventful day: piano, shopping, dress-up, homework...but, before we get into today....these are a few more pictures from last night.

After coming home from Grammie and Grampie's, Emmersyn wanted to be a princess.  She recruited her brother to help her accomplish the "princess" look.... and this is what happened....Emmersyn was not thrilled with the "princess" hairstyle her brother gave her.

She was much happier this morning when she could let her hair down....

Here is the daily wave to daddy....

And here Emmersyn is saying "hi" to her daddy....

What a face....

Cameron wanted to show his daddy his new winter jacket....

Doesn't he look strong????

She looks so innocent and cute....she is really manipulative and conniving!

Of course Cameron had to coerce me into going to Toys R Us to get another Angry Bird.  This is Freeze Bird.  This is the Angry Bird he wants to be for Halloween.

Emmersyn couldn't decide what she wanted to buy from Toys R Us....After searching and searching, she finally came up with this princess wand.  It's fabulous....Cameron will freeze me with his angry bird, then Emmersyn puts a spell on me to unfreeze me and break me free!  It's great!

Speaking of Halloween, the kids are so excited for Halloween.  Like I said, Cameron wants to be the Freeze angry bird, and Emmersyn wants to be a pink butterfly.  She was so excited when she found her old butterfly costume from last year.

And, Cameron didn't want to be left out of the dress-up fun so he put on his Mario costume from last year.

What a precious butterfly!

That's it for today.  Back to school tomorrow.  We'll see how we spend our afternoon!

The Bag Hat

I'm going to try to post the next few days so Mohamed can keep up on what we have been doing, as well as, see pictures of the kids.

Emmersyn loves to be clean, just as much as Cameron and Mohamed.  So, it's not abnormal for this girl to take 1, 2, or even 3 showers or baths each day.  However, on this particular day, I think she was up to number 5 or 6.  Mohamed had had enough of shampooing, conditioning, combing, drying, and straightening Emmersyn's long hair.  So, by shower number 5, Mohamed had enough and found a bag to cover her hair so that he would not have to go through the long, tedious, process of dealing with her hair.

It was so funny.  He taped this bulk barn bag to her head....and it work.  Her hair remained dry!  

These were pictures from this afternoon before we left to do a little shopping and hang out with Grammie and Grampie.  Here Cameron was doing a dance for his dad.  I think he thought I was taking a video....but these still shots will have to do....

Here Emmersyn was waving "hi" in the picture to send to her dad....

Another wave.....

And a couple attempts at the 2 of them together....

So cute!

We have been so bored these past two days....and it is so quiet.  Can't wait for daddy to return!

When I asked the kids what they wanted to say to daddy, this is what they each said....

"I love you." (Emmersyn)

"We got watch boxes for him from Grammie's." (Cameron)

Monday Morning

I just thought I would share these adorable pictures of Emmersyn.  She was bright-eyed and bushy tail for a Monday morning.  The reason?  She finally got to go back to school after a long two days off for the weekend!  Let's hope Mondays continue like this throughout the school year!   I couldn't help myself but to grab the camera and snap away.  She was sooooo cute!

Emmersyn insisted that we take a picture of Cameron.  So, on a Monday morning, this is what Cameron looks like.  He is definitely a little less excited than Emmersyn when it comes to heading off to school.  He would have liked one more day added to his weekend!

First Day of School

The first day of Grade 1 started out like this.....

Cameron was not a happy camper!  There were definitely many more tears than smiles!

Emmersyn, on the other hand......She was ALL SMILES!

She couldn't wait to meet her new teachers!

And when she found out that she was FINALLY going to learn French this year and figure out what her brother is saying.....look at how big that smile grew!

Still crying in the cry!

Emmersyn not quite understanding why Cameron is having such a hard time!

Emmersyn got this cool new red, leather jacket for completing her first day of school!  This picture does not do justice for how cool this jacket really is!

And Cameron was much happier at the end of his day.  He earned a Yoshi and another water bottle for successfully completing his first day!
