1. During the Easter Break I took my kids to the movie, The Croods. It's hilarious. It's about a caveman family. DJ loved it. All through out the movie they made traps for all sorts of things. I guess DJ payed close attention to that. A few days later, DJ came and got me. He had made a trap in my room. I walked in and a rope went around me, then a tractor (medium sized) that was tied to the end of the rope fell, which made the rope tighten around me. He did it all by himself. Well, all day he was making traps for me. I pretended to fall and he was in heaven. That night Brianna was walking downstairs when DJ (at the top of the stairs) threw down the end of the rope. He yelled, "Hey Bnana, pull the rope." Well Brianna grabbed it and pulled. She was looking up and the tractor hit her right between the eyes. Poor girl had a goose egg there for a couple of days. I finally got her settled down and got the story. I went and found DJ and got after him and was trying to put him in his room. Well he was getting mad and yelling, "But mom me do noffing, ME DO NOFFING (while he is throwing his hands up in the air)." I had to explain to him why he couldn't do that. It was pretty funny. Smart little boy. Poor Brianna, was so understanding and told DJ to tell her that there's a tractor tied to the end of the rope next time. He said OK, and gave her a hug!
2. Cadence has had her grown up tooth in the front bottom behind her baby tooth for a while now. It's basically fully grown and her baby tooth is still there. I told her to wiggle it because it was coming out this week(that was last week!). So she was wiggling it and wiggling it. She had me tie some dental floss to it a few times. But we never did anything with it. Finally on Saturday she came up to me and told me she was going to tie it to a door and DJ was going to close it. So I tied the dental floss to her tooth and then to the front door (because it's heavy!)! We told DJ to go ahead and close the door. Well he did it super slow and Cadence ran after it. I opened the door again and Cadence was just telling me that she didn't want to do it. Without thinking about it, I slammed the door shut. Cadence gasped and then was on the floor picking up her tooth. It actually worked and she was so excited. We found out that Brianna recorded the whole thing. It's pretty funny to watch. Between Cadence's reaction and me laughing (crazy mom)! So the Tooth Fairy came that night and spoiled her!!
3. This week we got our counter tops redone. I love it! Our island looks so much better. We made it one height so the kids can sit at it. Anyways the guy that did it for us was over here a lot. He's very short with dark hair and a mustache and goute. Anyways, one night after he left, Abbi came up to Richard and I. She said, "He's a really nice man. He's just like a cute little monkey!" Oh my, I about died. I was laughing so hard and so was Richard. The funny thing was Abbi was being very serious and she wasn't trying to be mean. The funny thing is is I could see what she was talking about. Oh it makes me chuckle just thinking about it. So funny!
4. We've had some crazy weather this spring. We thought we were done with snow. But the 2nd week in April we had a huge snow storm. It snowed for about 3 days. There was a lot of snow and the kids had a BLAST playing in it. We borrowed a big sled from the Orr's to pull behind the quad. The Orr's came over and I pulled the kids on the sled for about 2hrs. They had an absolute blast. We had some crazy wipe outs, but everyone had fun. Richard pulled them for a bit the next day too. DJ had me pull him behind the sled by himself, when the girls were at school. He was loving it!
5. DJ has always been able to sniff his lip up to his nose. It doesn't make sense, but he does it all the time. It's a habit and it always makes us laugh.So I finally took a few pictures of him doing it. He does it when he's sad or mad.

6. Cadence had her clogging recital. It was so fun to go watch her. She loved going to clogging and I never had to fight her to go to practises. She did so good and we are so proud of her! It was super fun to watch her perform!

7. Cadence had some rough days at school a couple of weeks ago. It took us a bit to figure out what was going on. She finally told me that someone was not being nice and every time she talked this girl would grab her face and squeeze her mouth shut and tell Cadence to be quiet. Anyways, we took care of that. But she came home with me one afternoon after the walk/run club. She was sobbing and didn't want me to leave. So she came with me and DJ to his field trip with the Parent Pre School. We went to the Westwinds Gymnastics. It was a fun afternoon! On the way home we had to stop and get a prescription at Shoppers. We ended up waiting for a LONG time! So the kids entertained themselves. Plus we made a few messes, which totally embarrassed me. I had to get an employee so they could mop up some baby oil that fell off a shelf and split open. Just a little messy!

8. One afternoon DJ and I were driving to Raymond (I think for his speech). The clouds looked crazy dark. So I took a picture. But then I looked on the other side of me and it looked nice and sunny with white fluffy clouds. It was kind of funny. So I had to take a picture of both sides. It started snowing that afternoon, really hard. I believe this was May 1st.

9. I have drove bus quite a bit. DJ always comes with me. We have taken kids into Nicholas Sheran for swimming, so DJ and I swim too! It's been a lot of fun. DJ loves it. The only thing is, it totally tuckers him out. He always falls asleep on the way home from swimming. Well this was the best position of him sleeping. He was one tired boy!
10. DJ and I went shopping one day. We were looking for some dresses for David and Jill's wedding. Not sure if I've posted that but, my little brother, David, is getting married! Crazy! The date is July 6th, Richard's birthday!! We are so excited for them! Anyways, I couldn't find any dresses but we found a tie, glasses and hat for DJ. He was so excited that he insisted on wearing them out of the store. He thought he was so cool!
11. Cadence was getting ready for school one day and she had one of her skirts on. I told her it was too short to wear by itself. But it was too hot to wear pants or tights, so we took a pair of her black tight pants and I cut them off. She was so excited. She insisted on wearing the cut off part on her arms. She told me it matched and looked cool! What a girl!

12. On Friday (of the May long weekend), Richard got off work early. He's been working late almost every night. We haven't seen him much. So we went into Lethbridge and had dinner at IHop. Then we took the kids to Henderson Park. They ran around a played for a bit. Then we went to Walmart to get a few things. The kids had fun running around there too! We didn't go anywhere this weekend. Richard worked all day Saturday and he is working today (Monday). So it's been fun to stay home and get things done. Glad we were able to do something together as a family on Friday! On Saturday the kids and I hurried and cleaned the house. I gave them each a list which they all completed. Works so good! Abbi didn't want to make her bed. This is what she said to me, "But mom, if I make my bed I mess up the blankets and my germs and then it won't be comfy at all. I want to leave it messy so I don't mess up my germs." What a girl! We went out to the farm afterwards and they played with Ali and Mary. Evan and Keira were there too. It was fun to hang out and visit. It was Cody's birthday too!
