Random Babblings

Hey Sara, come get your stuff or the Salvation Army will. We will be operating on a first come first serve basis. Sale begins 01/01/2011.

Update: 10/28/2010 

It’s the sisterhood of the travelling coat.

By 9:30 this morning, Oliver had already:

• cleaned the toilet with his sister’s electric toothbrush,
• moved some furniture around the front entry, updating the coat rack from 4 hooks to 3, and
• taken it upon himself to reorganise the kitchen pantry.

At the end of all this, HE gave ME the “no-no-no” (also known in some parts as the “tee-tee-tee”) finger shake.

And for some crazy reason, I thought I would be the one getting more done around the house with Roxanna at preschool. If only I was as productive as my one year old. Serenity now!

This week’s play date ran a record 9 hours but well worth it when you are paid in smiles and happy faces.

Oliver shared in a Birthday celebration with his twin friends on the weekend. Party was such a blast, who said you can’t have fun sober. By the end, all of the kids were so wound up, poor Colin couldn’t even tell the Birthday triplets apart and mistakenly held hands with Declan for this family photo. Happy Birthday kiddos!

First day of tennis camp and Roxanna has demonstrated her natural potential to be a future Wimbledon champ by pulling a John McEnroe style meltdown on the court.

(Thanks Auntie Julie for identifying her potential at an early age!)

Oliver recently celebrated his first birthday with friends and family in Ontario. We had lots of fun catching up with old friends and new offspring.

Just like old times, but different.

Hugs & kisses to y’all.

Iva, Colin, Roxanna & Oliver xo

New bedtime routine goes something like this…

• bedtime snack: eat cat food,
• use potty: play with toilet water,
• bath: almost fall head first into the tub, then later try to climb out of the tub,
• check security system: knock baby gates over,
• do hair: pull sister’s out by the handful
• and so on & so forth until finally it’s goodnight.

Look out Burlington, here we come!
