Hows that bitches? YOu like tasty homemade bread? Whole wheat with flax seed? Well we do too! We will of course be lucky if this lasts us a week! For all of you with wheat allergies, we will apologize and we will eat this for you!

Ahhh the weekends!

I'd like to introduce you to "ringmaster" Madigan! It looks like she has a crazy french moustache! Hello prunes! Thank alot iron fortified cereal! Nothing like iron and bananas to bung a system up!
Next photo is hockey gorgeous day in canada. Maeve tries on Mommy's hockey gloves and seems to like 'em!
Auntie and Maeve climb up a big steaming pile of woodchips. I'm a little concerned as to why they were steaming!
Last but certainly not least is, Maeve meets wild bunny at jericho beach! We are so lucky to have such gorgeous weather here. It sure is cold but when the skies are blue and the sun is sunny we can have lots of good fun, fun that is funny!

Madigan chows down

Well its no steak but it will do! Madigan is on real food and she can't get enough!

The swing is the thing!

Maeve and Roan rule the swings!

What a weekend!

Ok so the pictures sort of came out in a rambled jumble order but here goes. Maeve playing in a box was taken today. She decorated the outside and inside of the box. Fun was had, tipping the box over while inside was fun, then the tears came when Mommy caught her chewing the tip off the marker that she had been decorating with! The joys of wondering if colours taste as good as they look. FYI They don't! Second pic is at Makadoodlenut's 3rd birthday at jumpin' jiminy's! It was a blast. I so wouldn't have brought Maeve there on my own but once I pulled my head out of my butt and ran around sliding with the kids it was SOoOOoo much fun! Big thanks to Auntie Linds, Uncle Bro and Makenna for inviting us! Third pic is more boxing around. Last pic is Auntie Linds holding our gorgeous Madigan. Now, if you look really hard you can see that there is NO pink on the child! I have grown and therefore my second child wont always be dressed in solid pink! Auntie Sara picked this cute little dress up when we went to Bellingham! Today of course, Madigan is wearing head to toe pink! 6-12 month pink pants that are almost too small and an 18-24 month shirt that Maeve *just* grew out of. By my scale Madigan weighs in at a whopping 13.5 lbs and Maeve weighs 30.5. Maeve's might not be 100% accurate but I weighed myself without Madigan and then with her and the difference was 13.5lbs!

Today was GORGEOUS! We hit the vancouver aquarium with Milo, Theo and Angela. Lunch with Belugas and hawks were fun but weighing these two otters was more fun! Ok ok, only Milo was an otter. Each of them stepped on the seal scale and got weighed. I can't remember what Maeve weighed only that it was more than the much taller Milo! Madigan was spotted sporting some stylin' shades at Douglas park before the aquarum outing. Mommy and Maeve and Maeve and some fishy friends. We had a very fun sunny thursday and are looking forward to a sunny friday! This weekend we are off to Nanaimo for Maeve's cousin Makenna's 3rd birthday. Its in some crazy ballroom with tonnes of stuff entertain the little ones!

Comfy sleep?

And how was your sleep last night? No one said having a toddler crash in your bed would be comfy! Personally I can't believe they were both asleep! Madigan and I were nice and cozy on the other side! Good lord. I think we are going to have to get a bigger bed when Madigan is older! This is a california queen and its not big enough! Oh well, the girls will learn the song, "There were 4 in the bed and the little one said, roll over I'm crowded" Maybe what we'll do later on is just go sleep in their beds!

How can one resist?

Ok boys and girls. We are going to be p assing around the hat as you can see we desperately need the money. Yes, our giant of a child has already outgrown her stroller! Ha ha! Michael put Madigan in this and wheeled her into Maeve's bedroom while we were reading books before bed. Once I recovered and stopped almost peeing myself I ran for the camera. Now, this is where Mommy love and Daddy love differ. On the stroller it says, "do not put your child in this stroller" and "for dolls and toys only". Ya gotta love Michael for being such a hit with both his children! He'll do anything to make his darlings laugh!

Young love

Of course Maeve is in love with a guy with a Mohawk! I can see the future kids and it looks grim!! Just kidding! This is Ronan and he and Maeve are in love! He calls her "May-Mays" its pretty frigging cute! This picture was taken in what is quite possibly, the biggest puddle ever! We hit kits beach the other day to do some puddle stomping! Note the puddle is over the boot line. The two kids loved tho! Mommies and younger siblings did not attend the puddle stomping session. We oohed and ahhed and took p ictures!
