Turning The Corner

Ok... so I have been a horrible blogger... but I am making the turn on the corner. If not for all the fans, for my kids to look back at and say... wow mum! Nice job keeping a running memory of us!

So that being said, my goal is to have at least 2 new entries a week... I feel it is a goal I can definitely keep, and all the more bonus if there is more for your viewing pleasure.

So today's entry is actually a funniest home video. Brought to you by our own Olive! Look out world here she comes!

P.S. She actually ran right into me!

The boy all grown up!

This month marks some big milestones for the boy. He will at the end of the month officially be a preschool graduate. We have nothing but good things to say about his preschool and are sad that the girls will not have a chance to share the same experiences as their brother because they will be closing their doors at the end of the month. The boy has made a number of great friends that we are hoping will keep in touch even though all the boys will be in different schools...hala ( Jackson and Seth). The Boy even has a love interest although we think he is completely oblivious to her advances considering he keeps telling me he is going to marry Aunt Jenn!

We also attended Kindergarten round up this week... which was very exciting. We got a tour of the classrooms and the buildings many multipurpose rooms including the music room, media center ( oh mom look at all the computers there are thousands of them! )and they even put us on a bus minus the seat lickers:)
Defiition of Seat Licker- One who sits on the school bus and proceeds to lick the leather back of the seat. ( yes we have all seen them before!)
If you didn't already know, he will be at the same school as his Auntie Katie (or as the girls say Auntie D D) and all of his new "outside friends" who every night now come to the door and ask if Jack can come outside and play.

As for the summer... I have his signed up for a week of playball and well lots of time at the pool.

A Walk To Remember!

I took my kids on a hike last week. There is this great trail close by the house, and I needed something to help burn off some energy that consumes my kids. The trail is a mile round. And yes I made them walk the whole thing! Only took us 45 minutes to complete the loop. But after many rock investigations and a few dinosaur digs we made it. Yea Team!
Here is a collage of the walk!

Ello! Fancy meeting you air...

We here at the T house are evolving. My children have now dubbed me MUM! So I found it all to fitting to re-name the blog. Very creative on my children's part and personally I like it! For some reason my kids have decided that they like the British speak... can I call it that:)
Here are just a few for you:

• Mum, I am very cross with you!
• "Eye" want...
• My favorite: GO MUM!
• The "Loo" ( thank you sprout for your wonderful "All things Potty" commercial)
• and of course the word " UNDER-Pantz"

More to come... off to watch some Telly and have a few HOb NOb's (yummie)
"Look kids big ben!"

Our National TV Debut :)

The other night as I was finishing cleaning up from our extremely early dinner and my phone rings. In hysterics my sister screams on the other line (OK maybe I am exaggerating just a wee bit...) "I just saw us walking through the airport on the national news!" I laughed aloud because the last time we were all in the airport was last Thanksgiving 2008. Why in the world would they use tape that is over a year old. Yes, we were actually interview by NBC news way back when. She told me she would TIVO it and bring it over later but my curiosity got the best of me and I Googled it. (Wow if only I got paid for promoting certain companies) And there it was... my brood and I walking through the airport ( right after they make the comment what about families traveling with small children) Zoom to Twins!

So here it is... Thank you Brian Williams and the Nightly News!

We are at 1:38 if you want to skip ahead!
