who needs clothes!

So we were lucky enough to go to calaway park today - the weather was awesome and the day was even better. The highlight of the trip for me was watching Libby (who hates getting splashed) go down the log ride... and love it! But even better than the fun family day was something that happened this morning. Corey usually gets up for the day around 5-5:30 depending on if he goes for a morning run. Even though the kids are often up at 6, the don't usually see Corey in the mornings. This morning Libby goes down and sees Corey and says "daddy! What are you doing here?" He explains that he doesn't have to go to work on weekends and she tells him that she wishes he never had to go to work at all. He replies with "I go to work to make money to buy you clothes and food and stuff." She responds with a classy "Daddy - (sigh) I will be naked and not even wear any clothes so you don't have to go to work anymore." (dead serious, too!) I love my kids!

Help! Please send me your advice on how to get your children to stop tattling! Libby alerted me for the 100th time today that Cadie was doing something wrong. THis time it happened to be coloring David. Here he is with black marker on his arms and face and clothes. Cadie, the culprit, smiles as she shows me the marker is also all over herself. How do I get Libby to stop running to me everytime Cadie breathes?

is summer here yet?

we've been having so much FUN lately!
We've had trips to the telus science center, the zoo, the mall, the park and everything it just feels like summer must be coming soon!

Libby rode a 2 wheeler bike (with training wheels) for the first time at the park. David mostly loved eating the rocks.

I'm working part time so I've been enjoying every minute with my kids and not taking a single second for granted. Even with Libby's bad language (someone taught her a swear which she repeated over and over and over again...) and Cadie's occasional screaming, we've had so much fun together.
