Pop Cans and Coffee Cups

Spencer has something of a little obsession with pop cans and coffee cups. Which is very funny to see but also makes you want to rip your hair out as he chases you around the house screaming at you to give him the cup that is in your hands. He will have a total meltdown, wig out, temper tantrum until he gets the can or cup from you and once he has it he's as happy as can be!  So now I have to put my coffee in a  regular mug just so he can have the paper cup to chew on and carry around. I thought I would try the other day to give him his own plastic cup to have instead but man oh man that made it even worst. He just threw the plastic cup on the floor and came after me trying to claw up my leg to get at the beautiful brown Tim Horton's cup.  He is a funny character and it's great to see his personality shine through more and more each day!

Busy Weekend at the Beach

We've been having some really great times at the Auntie Laura's cottage or as Jackson calls it Auntie Laura's old house but not the one at the beach he says.  The water and sand this year so far has been amazing; the water has been clear and warm and I have really enjoyed going and getting wet. Now that Jackson is more confident in his swimming abilities he's having a great time in the water too. It's nice that it's been shallow enough for him to enjoy.

Even Spencer is enjoying the beach, he doesn't care much to be in the water but loves to dig in the sand. He will head into the water once he's comfortable with the idea but would much rather play with the bucket and shovel.  We hung out on the sand bar as it was completely showing on Saturday which we all thought was a great novelty to being at the beach!

Pinecone Bird Feeders and Playdough

Yesterday was one of those days that was busy from the time your eyes opened until your head hit the pillow but did the kids have a ton of fun or what!

I decided to take the kids over to OEYC for some play time! They love it there as there is so much for them to do and see! They also love interacting with other children other than the daycare kids.

So once we got there the place was a buzz with all the ECE students finishing up their assignments for their placements so that meant lots of extra activities and crafts going on!

Jackson came home with a pinecone bird feeder along with helping make playdough and helping plant sunflowers and pumpkins. He also was in his glory as he got to water the garden and he loves watering the garden!

He's also super excited that he can go and check on the garden every time he goes to the center and see how his pumpkins and sunflowers are growing!
