Bits of this and that....

We're gonna mail Cindy out to visit her father & Norm - we just haven't found a box of the right size quite yet. *grin*


Yesterday, the kids and I decided to poke our noses into the "family expo" - this was a thing held at the rink, sort of a 'fun day' mixed with 'what can we sell you'...things for the kids to do and lots of booths advertising this that and everything else to parents, y'know?

They had a good time though - and even came home with some free water bottles and colouring books. Free stuff is always useful. ;-)

Miss - wait... *Princess* Cinders....



Hanging with a Big Turtle...he's a mascot from a waterpark on the island..and kinda scary looking if you ask me. Turtles should not be that big.




Bouncing away inside the ....bouncing thing. Yes I'm full of descriptive words today.




Mr.Christopher being very serious about his job of running me over...



Playing the marble track game thing with his sis...



And hiding out in a teepee....




Yesterday was also make-Christopher-a-car ....as part of his year end stuff at his school, the kids were asked to bring in a homemade car for a ramp race. The note that was sent home said to use whatever materials one could find around the house - and that's exactly what we did.

Meet Scruffy and his Bulldog Express.











Christopher had left on his bus and Cindy and I were taking it in to the school for him (because it was too awkward for him to carry on the bus) when she had the idea to attach a leash - perfect for pulling it along and ever so fitting with the theme.

I tried getting a picture of him with it today when he got home but he wasn't in the mood & wouldn't sit with it - he was quite proud of himself though, because his car won for "longest distance" .. they put the cars on a ramp and measured how far they went and his rolled and rolled and rolled....

Of course it rolled - can you tell what's hidden underneath the felt covered box? ;-)
