Monday...April....Monotony...

It's Monday, the beginning of a new week, and a new colour for the nails.  Mohamed insisted that orange is the "in" colour these days, so, orange it was.  It's a little hard to tell in the pictures, but it's orange.

And, so Emmersyn would not be jealous of my new nail colour, I went out to buy her a new dress from Tommy Hilfiger...Isn't it cute?  And it was the perfect distraction!

She was rolling her eyes at me, because I asked to get just one more picture of her in her cute dress!  She is soooo funny!

And then trying to be a little innocent!

And just a random picture of Cameron after school....with a mouthful of snacks...

Nothing new to report....looking forward to Easter weekend...hopefully we'll have something to blog about!

I'm Excited

I need to get the kids to bed.....but real quick before we settle down for the night, I have to get out some of this excitement!

First, I'm so excited that Canada is getting rid of the penny!  How fabulous is that?  That piece of copper is so pointless and takes up way too much air just existing!  How magnificent!

Second, I'm so excited that I am probably holding the winning $540,000,000 lottery ticket.  Actually, I think I heard that it has increased to $630,000,000 but who's keeping track????  We each have our own line of numbers.  I wonder which one of us it's going to be...hmmmmmm...I hope I can sleep tonight.  HeHeHeHeHe!

Chill in the air

March is back.....It is so hard to return back to reality with March temperatures.  I knew the big chill was coming, but it didn't make this frigid air any easier to accept.  Emmersyn had no problem with the chill in the air as she begged to play outside today after school.

And look what Mohamed brought home for dinner last night!  How annoying!  He knows I can't resist sweets.  

Mohamed wanted me to take a picture of these next two treats to show Nicole.  I think this was a Tim Bit sucker, dipped in white chocolate, and decorated with m&m's and sprinkles.  It shouldn't surprise me that these Canadians do weird things with their Tim bits!

And this was Mohamed's favourite.  I know Nicole makes these all of the time, but Mohamed wanted me to have Nicole make it like this one.....On the inside was caramel and rice krispie treats....sooooo good!

Because Emmersyn has a constipation problem that we are working on correcting, she has been bribed with stickers to go to the bathroom.  Cameron is more than happy to sit with her and wait and wait and wait for her to go...giving her a sticker each time she goes.

This is about 45 minutes into the process....

Here Cameron was providing Emmersyn with some entertainment through his dancing...

She was finally all done!

She was admiring all of her stickers...for a job well done!

Just a few random pictures....

Emmersyn loves her Egyptian shirt!  She is daddy's little Cleopatra.

I wonder what this week has in store for us?????

A couple new things....

Before I headed off to work today, I thought I would get a quick manicure and pedicure.  Why not get a little pampered before a "hard" day at work....sipping coffee....gossiping.....I have a tough job!  Anyway, as soon as I walked in the door, my little mini me noticed my beautiful toenails instantly, and immediately requested a pedicure.  Well, because the salon was already closed, and Mohamed could never let his daughter down, he offered to paint her toenails....

I chose to pay an extra premium for some "special" nail polish that should not chip for two weeks.  I'll have to report back to you if it was really worth the price!

So, while I was hard at work making some money, Mohamed and the kids were hard at work spending some money.  Check out Cameron's haircut!  Isn't he a cute boy?  And those eyes!!!!

Emmersyn got a new pair of shoes during their shopping spree.

Didn't she (Mohamed) do a great job picking out these super glittery shoes?  Her little Montessori friends are going to be sooooo jealous!

Cameron bought a hat after getting that fabulous haircut.

And, of course Emmersyn needed a hat as well.

These pictures were from the other day when the kids wanted to take out a few of the floor puzzles.

Just a random self-taken picture!

I think Cameron and Mohamed are off in search of a new pair of sunglasses for Cameron before the stores close.  Good night.  Hope to have something new to report soon!

The past week

We have been so spoiled with this BEAUTIFUL weather.  In March!!!

This is what I captured in pictures this week....  In these first pictures, Cameron is showing off what Emmersyn had picked out for him during a shopping excursion.....a green light-up ball and a new hoodie. Emmersyn picked out the ball all by herself as she knew that Cameron's favourite colour is green.

A simple ball can make kids sooooo happy!

I wonder what he was thinking....He was obviously deep in thought while admiring his ball.

Emmersyn loves this dress and won't take it off.  I bought this dress from the Gap because I thought it was cute.  Obviously so did she.

The other day the kids were watching t.v. together so I thought I would try to capture a picture of the two of them together.

These pictures are from Tuesday night when we decided to go for a walk along the river.  It was a beautiful day, but was a bit chilling along the water as the sun began to set.

Cameron was doing his best to pretend to sleep.  He said he was sooooo tired from all the walking we did.

This was another dress I picked up for Emmersyn, but she did not care for it quite as much as the pink dress.  

And just a random picture of Cameron and I....self-timer.
