i haven't updated in a while.... haven't been doing much.... just hanging out enjoying the summer. it was super hot that one week, and since then it's been sort of CRAPPY outside. what is up with that?!?? for example, today we're supposed to meet kai's playschool friends at the park, but it's thundering and starting to rain. last week we missed as well, due to rain. come on!!!
i'm just trying to figure out what to do on this gloomy day. any ideas?

Canada Day!
happy Canada day! i'm a bit late in posting, but better late than never ;) (that is my motto lately!) we took part in the neighborhood bike parade. unfortunately it was way too busy and unorganized for my liking. it was a big stress fest for me! the kids don't even look happy here LOL! we decorated their bikes (quickly as it seemed like we were late, even though we were on time?? we felt rushed...) and then rode around the neighborhood, stopped for a popsicle, and then back home. it was so hot, which i'm sure didn't help with my stress/grumpiness.
we headed to the mall afterwards for some much needed air conditioning! it was GREAT! we did have one "incident" at the mall though. i'm not sure how it happened, but hallie was kicking upwards while she walked, just for fun, and she managed to kick herself in the nose?!!!! KRAZY! well blood started POURING out her nose, i wasn't too sure what to do! i've never seen a nose bleed like that before. my friend laura ran to grab some paper towel and a passerby called security and helped me sit with hallie to try to stop the bleeding. hallie was very upset! the bleeding kept going, we managed to go through a roll of paper towel before security arrived. they broke out their first aid kit and got hallie some ice. we were quite the "show" to see, apparently, because everyone had stopped to watch. my poor girl! anyway i look back now and laugh, but in the midst of things it was quite an ordeal. it bled for a good 20 minutes but finally stopped. we left the mall looking like war victims. blood all over us... hands, her face, my pants, her dress... yikes!!
hope you all had a great canada day!
we ended off the day with a BBQ hosted by neighbors laura & neil. it was perfect! i was home and in bed before fireworks went off at 11pm. i wasn't quite asleep, but almost. it was a very busy day..... zzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

last day of kindergarten :(
i'm blogging all over the place, this post is out of order.... however last thursday was hallie's last day of kindergarten. it was a canada day theme.... hallie was very upset to be leaving her amazing teacher, and not looking forward to grade 1 just yet. she cried through the last half of the "ceremony" and the whole way home. :(
hallie dancing with her sister!
kai popping a balloon with a canada day flag toothpick
kai had brought his puppy to the school, and it was too funny when we realized that another boy had the same puppy there too! kai's is named "puppy" and the other boy's was named "dog." cute!!
hallie with her amazing teacher! she was trying to smile through the tears here. i'm so happy that kai will have her as his teacher next year!
