Playdate

Selah had all of her bigger cousins over to play the other day... only Emery and Milam missed out on the fun. (Emery was there, just not playing outside:))

Watching all the action

Conflict...

And more conflict...

They did have fun, really!

Selah's haircut

It was time. She was getting food in her hair all the time, and didn't always like having it in a ponytail or braids. Not to mention all the tangles! My mom had a very hard time making the first cut:) Here's the before pictures. If the back of her hair was pulled straight it was just about to her waist!

And after

Can't get much more than that!

Ok, it's been too long again... I got to take the Children's Restraint Systems Technician (CRST) course last week! It was a very interesting two days... I had to wake the kids up and get them to Bruce's parents house by 7 am. The course was in downtown Winnipeg, and the GPS made a few mistakes. My phone rang just as I got there the first day... the last one in the class... all was quiet (did I mention our Indiana Jones theme song ring tone??). All in all it was fun. Now I'm just waiting to hear my score on the test. I'm sure I passed, but it still would be nice to know:)

Kezi is starting to walk! She will take steps when she really wants to. At Bruce's parents last week she took 10 steps all by herself! I'm quite exited about that, because she's getting too heavy to carry around all the time:) She is also starting to try to climb on things a lot more. The other day she climbed onto one of Selah's little chairs and had a little tea party. She has 7 teeth right now, and I think number 8 must be coming, cause she has been quite the clingy/grumpy little girl the past few days.

Selah has been throwing a lot of temper tantrums lately. It has been interesting learning how to deal with them effectively. But I think it is slowly getting better. She is two of course, so I suppose they can be expected. Just over a month till her 3rd birthday! Her birthday present is ready and waiting.

And Bruce, well he's been busy cleaning up the yard, etc (something I don't enjoy so much). We finally have grass growing in our back yard, a year and a half after digging it up for the geothermal heat pump. I can't wait till we can actually play back there! I don't like taking the girls outside to play much because we have such a small front yard. Bruce is planning to be involved in a play again this year. They are doing Moses: Prince of Egypt. It sounds like it will be really good... I hope I can go see it:)

My sweet girls - and birthday cake!

Watching "Moe and the Big Exit" together

I left the room for a minute at lunch and came back to find Selah feeding Kezi her yogurt! She did a pretty good job too:)

Kezi wasn't too sure about her birthday cake. She stuck her fingers in the icing a little bit. So I got her a fork, and she was all over it!

My silly girl. She likes to feed herself, especially if it involves using a fork or spoon. I finally discovered that's why she wasn't eating mashed potatoes anymore... she wanted to hold the spoon herself! She will allow me to hold the spoon once in a while, especially for yogurt and stuff like that.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Well, I signed up for the course. They are actually doing two, so I signed up for May 10 & 11. So now all I need is someone to watch my girls, and a way to get there!
