Dirty funnies....

When Makayla was little she asked "If a man hole is called a man hole what is a woman hole?"

The other day Keiran was in the bath with me he shyly told me that Glenda doens't sleep with underwear on. I asked him if he figured that out when he crawled into bed with her. He responded that Glenda has a hairy bum. I told him everyone gets a hairy bum when they grow up and he would have one too when he gets bigger. He told me with all seriousness and conviiction he didn't want to get bigger ever. Later I asked if he would still crawl into Glenda's bed in the middle of the night, his responsd "No way!"

Liam has yet to ask me any dirty questions but he is now waking in the middle of the night and grunting for boob so I guess thats a start.


PS I won some awesome reusable snack packs from a blog I follow. Check them out here. And thanks Tanya I can't wait to see them.

Re-Directory

Prestory Last weekend Scott was in a car accident with our dear friend B (who was driving) Everyone is fine.
Galiano has one of the best recycling places. It has a re-directory where people bring old items they don't want and others can come a get the goods for free! It is so much fun for the kids and us finding fun treasures. The recycling area is like a social event with music blasting out of the speakers and people socializing while recycling. If you visit Galiano on a Friday or Saturday this is the place to be. Yesterday we did the deed with the kids helping sort our plastics and cans then the "workers" showed the kids the back room where they could pick through books to take home. We found such gems as Serial Killers a Photographic Journey or The Pet Cookbook - recipes with pets as the ingredients.... it was very strange. Makayla came out with some Archie comics and a french Travel Phrase Book while Keiran only wanted one book RoadSense for Drivers Study Guide. We thought this was a funny choice but he was proud. As we where walking to the re-directory Keiran told ud B should borrow his new book! What a funny kid.

Simple life

These days our lives are very predictable, it goes like this:

We wake up between 6:30-8 (I like it when it is 8) but Keiran is an early riser. Liam has a little naked play then I put him in his magical swing and he drifts off into lala land while I get dressed in my bathing suit with a covering of some sort. Usually it consists of shorts and a tshirt that I have been wearing for days. Then I pack a big snack/ lunch picnic for the beach... fruit, chips/crackers, sandwiches, drinks and a couple of ciders for me. During this time the big kids play in the front yard creating some sort of magical land or just impersonating real life. Like when they packed the play car for the trip.



Then by 11 or 12 we go to the beach where the kids have all kinds of learning experiences... exploring tide pools, playing with crabs, swimming, climbing rocks, watching otters feed, pee in the ocean, poop in sand holes OK too much information. Liam sleeps in the moby wrap or plays nude on a blanket in the shade. Then we pack up around 4-5 come home eat dinner play in the yard and hopefully the kids have played hard enough the drift off to sleep.

This is my new simple life and I like it.
