Pool Time

Pool Time

This summer, we decided to take the kids once a week to the YMCA pool to get them acclimated and ready for swim classes. This weekend was our first trip. Sebastien took a little time to warm up to the pool but Chloe surprisingly was happy as a fish!

It was so hot on Saturday that we took the kids to the sprinkler in the afternoon for some fun and relief.
Gymnastics Galore!

Found these movies that I had never posted from the kid’s gymnastics glass.  They’re about two months old but goodies!

Check out my son, the flirt, who finds the cute girl in the room and has no issue holding her hands and playing with her.  Troublemaker.

Chloe has come a long way since she started in the spring – look at her go!
May updates

May updates

Here are some pictures and videos from May.  For once, Chloe and Sebastien are sitting nicely together and playing the piano.  It won’t be long before Chloe’s piano lessons start… and why is my son so serious with his drawing?  Mr. Picasso over here…

Last Friday, we had a busy day with back to back dentist and doctor appointments for both kids.  Sebastien and Chloe both sat very nicely by themselves in the dentist chair – hooray!

Sebastien dancing to some Rihanna.  He’s so silly.

We opened the garden officially and put our camping tent out there just for fun.

Chloe’s hair is getting much longer and I try my best to tie it up when I can, knowing she’s going to be a sweaty mess this summer.  In doing so, I have to brush it because it tangles so easily and so I let her brush mine.

And a visit from Uncle Savio with a great big gift!  I forgot to take a picture WITH Uncle Savio!

Spring Weather

Spring Weather

It was a beautiful spring weekend and so we took the kids out for a walk to the piers. It’s so nice when they’re being nice to each other, holding hands and walking down the street. Much better than chasing each other around the house and screaming at each other, ha ha!

Sebastien is really serious about this train – he is going all out with his driving!

And there’s nothing better than playing with Daddy!

A bunch of random pictures and videos from the month of April.

Grandpa still working on teaching the kids to share via ice cream… smart man…

Who needs the park when you’ve got Daddy Horse?

Look at this trouble maker.  Way too much swag for a barely three year old.

Chloe is progressing well through her gymnastics class – still not really listening totally but she’s getting there… slowly…
Ice cream

Hilarious video, courtesy of Grandpa (who you can hear laughing in the background). The subtitles don’t really do it justice, but I tried…

Stretching with the kids

Stretching with the kids

One night, while doing the kids bedtime routine, I was feeling a little sore and so I decided to stretch a little bit. And as a result, now we’ve added stretching to our bedtime routine before reviewing flash cards and reading books. I walked out and snuck back in and filmed them practicing on their own:

Pizza with the kids

Pizza with the kids

A warmer day meant some fun in the schoolyard for a change. On our way back home, Sebastien stops to talk to a lovely blonde girl (yes, he knows how to pick them already) and tells her that he has to go home now. And then somehow Sebastien and Chloe manage to convince this girl and her friends to give them a ride in their wagon. These kids I tell you…

Afterwards, the kids made pizza for dinner!

Success!  Look at those happy faces!
