Chloe's First day of Preschool

She was very excited about her first day of Preschool. She had a blast. She's in french immersion too, so her and Brooke can at least talk to one another. lol 

Science Museum

We went to the science museum a few weekends ago with the Lowe family. We had a great time, the kids loved all the experiments they could play with. Here is a picture of Chloe and Brooke playing with the pulleys.

First day of School

Here she is getting ready to pick a snack from the snack basket to take to school. She's allowed 2 and there is a basket in the fridge too with veggies and dip, yogurt and fruit. 

She's tying her shoes up so she can be all ready to go. Thanks to Lyn for the cheat...lol Works wonderfully!!

I thought it would be neat to see her writing her name at the beginning of each year. So here she is holding her name.

And a little note about what grade and the date.

And I loved the idea of tracking what she wants to be when she grows up!

Now we are outside getting ready to head to school. This is when we found out it's super hot and muggy outside! 32.1C but feels like 40C and we are in a severe thunderstorm watch. Yuck! But, I can tell you the heat, and the thunderstorm watch did not dampen Brooke's excitement at all!

Here is the girls outside the school, Brooke is anxiously waiting for everyone to get their name tags and go into the school. 

Here is a sneak peak of her with her classmates. And her teacher Madame K (pronounced Kah because it's french and her name is hugely long and complicated! lol)

This is Brooke's school, Ecole Robert Browning for grades K-5. This photo was taken parent teacher meeting night. It would have been really chaotic to take one today. lol

Last Playdate Before School

We got together with the Campbell's for one last day of playing before school starts. We had lots of fun at the Nature Playground at Assiniboine Park. Here is Nate, Brooke and Chloe playing in the water. 

I thought this was a cute photo of Chloe. 

Nate is quite the cool dude in his shades and hat! It totally looks like he's at the beach.

I thought they were making a sand castle, but they were making a mud cake instead. lol

Because I wanted a photo of her proudly showing me a shovel full of mud. That is said totally sarcastically. lol

So cute!  And dirty......

LOVE this photo

Yup..Let's sit right down in the mud! To make it even better, Brooke has white shorts on! lol

Silly girl!

Cheese!

Meet Owen, He's mister innocent. I asked if I could take his photo and this is how he posed. 

Brooke's Indoor Shoes

We got Brooke brand new sneakers for back to school. We got them from a website called www.6pm.com. Free shipping in the USA, and amazing deals on shoes...not just sneakers! Only downfall, they do not ship to Canada...Thank you Cousin Melana Jean! So glad you were able to ship them to us in time for school!

Yup, Crocs! $25! Brooke picked them out all by herself.

Randomness August

Silly girl with her hat all up...reminds me of Fresh Prince of Bell-Aire. lol 

Picnic at the splash park! Nutella Sandwich for Brooke, Jam sandwich for Chloe and peanut butter for mommy! lol 

Brooke wrote out all the ABC's. She was looking at them in order. I think she did a great job!

A playdough snowman! Brooke's a little proud of her snowman. 

Fun at Grandmom's

We spend an afternoon at Margo's. She was so nice to fill the pool, and we had to kick the kids out of the pool when it was time to go home. It was soo hot this day!

Tucker enjoyed the pool too. I think he misses the pool at home, I always had it filled up last summer. As soon as the girls got out of the pool, he squished himself in! lol 

He was so nice that he got the water all yucky dirty!

Cool Dude Brooke.

Chloe says take a photo of me, then she looks at Brooke instead of the camera. lol

Posing for the camera...I think she needs lessons

Chloe's more of a natural....lol
