Kids Say the Darndest Things

I believe I may be related to the next Jim Carey... his name is Andre Regier. He's my 6 year old nephew and he is one funny guy. I just had to post the story he told me today. I'm so glad I had my digital camera with me to catch it. The prelude to the story is that on Sunday we were all at the beach and Andre lost his new ring that he had just bought at the flee market. He was very upset. We looked for it for quite a while and finally gave up. About an hour later, my other nephew Kenny found it in the water. This is Andre's story of how it all happened.

Caroline's New Look

For quite some time now Caroline has been growing her hair long. She wanted hair just like her cousin Shannen. Well this week Shannen cut off 16" of hair.... yes you read that right, her hair used to go to her waist. Now Caroline hadn't gotten quite that far with her hair growing endeavor, but it was quite long, and hot, and always in her face. I think Shannen inspired her to lighten her hair load, and so lastnight when I was triming the boys hair, she asked if I'd cut hers. For 2 years I've had to badger her just to trim the ends, so I'm sure can imagine I was quite surprised by this request. I actually had to talk her into leaving it shoulder length. She wanted it SHORT. But I'm sure you can see by her smile below, she is quite thrilled with the outcome. Oh and we added one more thing, bangs.... she has never had any in her whole life, so it really made a big difference. Here she is:

Canada's Wonderland

We had an absolutely fabulous time at Canada's Wonderland. We arrived there at about 10:30 in the morning and didn't leave until they shut the park at 8pm. Boy were we tired. The kids had so much fun on all of the rides... even Vic loved the rollercoasters. He was tall enough for the ghoster coaster and probably rode it no less than 20 times. Here are a few snapshots from our adventure. I had to take a couple on the White Water Canyon ride.... we waited 45 minutes for a 3 minute ride, poor Rachael felt totally ripped off, but refreshingly cool afterward.


Caroline was a little chilly after going directly underneath the waterfall.

The Tomb Raider Rollercoaster was Bailey's favourite - and I have to say it was pretty cool.

All in all we had a great time and will definately go back!

Can't Wait

Tomorrow we are taking a little holiday. We told the kids we are going on a road trip. What they don't know is that we are going to Canada's Wonderland. How cool is that. I can't wait to see their faces when we tell them where we are going. I'll try to make sure I have my camera turned on :) I'll post some pics next week!

Over it!

Well it goes without saying that my last post was on the beginning of a very very very long night. Vic didn't really go to sleep that night until about 4am. BUT the good news is that we are over the chicken pox, toilet training, and teething... woo hoo! Now if we can make it though the next 10 years with a house full of teenagers... I have a feeling the chicken pox will seem like a ride in the park :)
