Mommy’s Little Men – Week 32 – Aug 2 – 8

Throwing it WAY BACK to the beginning of August because I got that far behind in my weekly posts, BUT I am determined to get all caught up before the end of December and the start of a new weekly blog series. Next year I am going to stick to the no more than 3 photos of each boy and hopefully this year I can stick with that resolution...and keep up weekly rather than 5 months late!

Starting off with the boys together photos. This was the week of the summer that the Reimer kids were here visiting too so lots of pictures with them were taken!

My favorites of James up next

And finishing off with my favorites of Jordie boy!

2015 Mommy’s Little Men Photo Project

“I love watching them become little men right in front of my eyes”

He wanted me to post this to the blog

I'm so proud of James and how much he loves drawing and writing these days. He drew this family picture and then told me to take pictures of it and put it on my blog so that everyone on Facebook could see it, especially his Daddy (even though he was upstairs and came down 5 minutes later!)

We have the best neighbours ever!

Look at this handsome guy that we got today! Our wonderful (and very talented) neighbour Chip made him for us and I just love him and can't wait for the boys to come home tomorrow morning and see him too. 

I've gotta get a picture of the one he made for his daughter next door, her's is really cute too. Thanks for bringing some early Christmas cheer to our world, Chip! We really appreciate it. 

Here's the picture of the snowman he made for his daughter next door too! 

31 days of freedom

Yup, you read that right...I am officially off work now until January 4. Two weeks are the remainder of my yearly layoff and the other 2 weeks are vacation and school closure days. I can't wait to have some sleep in days and spend tons of quality time with my boys...as well as get our house in order a little bit before the start of the new year!

Tomorrow I start my time off by volunteering at James's school for the Christmas craft fair. I had a ton of fun making some crafts to contribute to the sale and I can't wait to see the kids faces as they do a little shopping for their family members. I wish more parents had contributed so that kids could buy more than 1 each, but maybe next year we can get more parents and kids involved!

This weekend will include a steak dinner out at the Carlson Club for me and Jimmy, sleepover for the boys at Nana and Papa's, hockey on Saturday for James, Christmas tree farm on Sunday morning, Santa Parade and birthday party for James on Sunday afternoon and then finishing off with Sunday dinner and tree decorating at Nana and Papa's house! I'm tired already and it's only Thursday night!

Next week will be full of toddler fun as I plan on hanging out lots with Jordie and his little friend Maddie cause we're watching her while her Mommy is working. We also plan to hit up the Strong Start a few times to get Jordie out and about a bit too so he doesn't get too bored of Mommy too soon.

Anyways, just a little update on my plans! Sure to see lots of photos and posts from me this month (I'm planning on at least 1 post a day for December) :)

These little guys are loving their daily advent calendar of Christmas books. This was the one that Jordie opened up last night!

And this was tonight's book!

My 3 Loves

I call these 3 handsome fellas my 3 J's. So much love when I look at this picture.

Daily Photos – November 2015

Wow, what a crazy month November was! We travelled one weekend to the Island and just found ourselves really busy the rest of the month. I've been really tired lately so finding that in the evenings I'm not making the time to blog like I was before. I've also been sick for the past week so haven't done much of anything in the evenings except veg out! I also did a bunch of Christmas crafts for both ourselves to give as gifts, and to donate to the PAC Christmas Craft fair that is happening this coming Friday. I plan to do a big post this weekend of all of the fun crafts we made...and pictures of my boys helping me too!

Anyways, I still managed to take our daily photos and knew that to get back into the swing of things I'd start with that post now. I plan to do one post a day for the whole month of December to attempt to get all caught up on my weekly posts, as well as some more Kindergarten sharing and art posts too! It shouldn't be too hard seeing as I'm off work as of December 4 for a whole month!

Here are our daily pictures for the month of November. Hope you like them!

Wish me luck in getting back in my groove so I can start 2016 off with a bang! Need to get all caught up on the weekly posts so I can come up with a new name for the 2016 weekly series!
