A little of everything . . .

Sometimes I find that even though I think not much is going on in our little home, there always seems to be something happening.  So, here are a few shots of life in our home over the last little while.

Of course, life right now pretty much just revolves around the Canucks and when they play next.  Fourtunately, we are all quite excited about the Canucks and look forward to watching the games.  Here Kendra and Owen are trying out the Canuck quiz that I gave to the ladies in my women's group at church.  Don't tell the ladies, but Kendra did much better than most of of them did!!!

 Here is a shot of Kendra and the zoo that she drew for "Z" week in Kindergarten.  She got a "How to draw animals" book from Grandma's thrift store and decided she wanted to try drawing them all so she made it into a zoo with different habitat sections, a park, benches, garbage cans and a parking lot!  It turned into quite the project but looks great! 

 Kendra is also playing t-ball again in the Church league.  She loves it that her team is made up of mostly kids from her church and she loves her coaches!  Here she is, ready to catch the next ball!

 In the very few nice days that we've had in the past while, the kids have been loving the trampoline.  Even Jocelyn is getting in on the action!  (I've discovered that the trampoline is also a great play pen for Jocelyn when I need to get a few things done in the yard and I don't want her to escape to the front!)

 Finally, just a few shots of what our 18-month old loves to do!!  What is the fascination with toilets and toilet paper?!

 Her other favourite thing to do is sit and 'read' her books!  So cute!!

Just a little glimpse into life at the deWolde household!

A day in the life. . .

I just looked at my own blog and realized that it has been over a month since I've posted anything. Maybe that is an indication of my life right now. Busy enough to not have a lot of time to sit and blog but not doing anything really exciting to share! This, however, is my life right now! There are 4 people (3 little ones and 1 not-so-little one) that consume my life and I wouldn't change a thing - well, okay maybe the colds could go away! On the days when life seems mundane and the kids are just not being so nice to each other and another one is smushing crackers all over the floor, I need to remind myself just how blessed I am, even to have those things to deal with. God has blessed us with a wonderful home, and abundance of food in the cupboards, closets full of clothes, bins of toys to play with, but mostly, a family that I am daily grateful for and so appreciative of! Sometimes I have to pinch myself that these little blessings, as well as the not-so-little one, really do belong to me! So, here are a few little snapshots of my blessings!! Jocelyn definitely knows which cupboards do not have the latches on them! She loves to pull things out and empty them! At least she is trying to share her crackers with me!

My kids all love books and I love it that they do!

On a rainy day, what could be better than making a train together out of every pillow and blanket in the house and then putting stuffies on each one!

Jocelyn and her chair got to be the engine for the train!

Kendra and Owen decided it was nice enough to take their drawing outside! They were drawing pictures of 'outside things'. Kendra, especially, really loves to draw and is definitely more talented at it than her mother!!

Kendra quite deep in concentration drawing a dinosaur picture to take for 'sharing' in Kindergarten.

Pretty much a daily occurance - Owen at the table by himself, finishing his supper long after the rest of us.

And finally, our little missy, giving us a few poses, snot nose and all!!!
