I’ve been having a great time hanging out with the kids recently. Right now, they’re playing an extremely complicated game of their own devising, I hear snippets of conversation about spy rings, forts, and teleporting. Perhaps my favourite quote floating across from the other side of the room, where they’re creating these invisible worlds is, “Perhaps we should have 4 seats. Just in case. You never know with teleporting.”

Yesterday the little one and I had a special one-on-one outing that involved library storytime, the mall playspace, and a shared pretzel. Later we picked up her sister and two friends and headed over to the park where the city’s parks and rec department had some summer activities set up. The little paddling pools with the oversized sponges, just perfect for soaking and throwing, were a huge hit!

The little one is growing dreads, which I think is just awesome!

I’m off to Vancouver for the weekend now, I’m sure there will be a TON of photos to share soon, Happy Canada Day for today and Happy Independence Day for the 4th (which is also Happy My Birthday), enjoy the celebrations!
