At the beginning of June, Mary-Rose came to visit for a couple of days so she could attend Shae's Grade 9 Grad. Maira and Hudson especially loved spending time with her and soaking up lots of attention. She did lots of fun things with them, including story time.
Jess helped Hudson realize his vision of becoming a cereal box robot.
Maira was invited to her cousin Amelia's house for an Anne of Green Gables themed birthday party. So we dug out a pinafore from the dress up chest and put it on top of a dress. She was SO excited for the party and had a great time.
Connor learned about tying flies at Cubs one week and loved it. He loved it so much that he decided to use the money he'd been saving up for a video game to buy a tool kit for tying flies instead. He's made a bunch already. Now he just needs to test them out!
Maira learned how to ride her bike without training wheels. This was an exciting accomplishment for her and it was exciting for me that it only took 20 minutes for her to get the hang of it. I used a much less frustrating technique this time around than I used with Connor and Shae. Instead of running behind her, holding onto her seat, until she figures out how to balance, I took her to a gently sloped grassy hill and had her coast down the hill over and over until she figured out how to coast all the way down and then it wasn't long before she was pedalling away from me! It was awesome. And also I hate it when my babies grow up like that.
Finally, here are a couple movies from story time with Grammy, from the night Shae was getting ready for her Grad.
