This week DoT's family rented a cottage near Ottawa, and we've been catching up with them, and enjoying the great weather.
The beach at the cottage doesn't have any sand, but the kids have had great fun throwing rocks... mostly into the water, but occasionally one lands remarkably close to a sibling. So far, no one has been hit... we're not sure if they have good aims, or poor ones. Actually, B did get hit by a stone; but since he'd launched it straight up into the air and it came back down on him, he had no one to blame but himself.
Here are a few pics of the fun at the beach...
Splashing is fun...
And apparently dumping water on your head is fun too. (So why is it such a tragedy when DoT or I accidentally dump a bit of water on their faces when we're washing their hair in the bath tub?)...
Fun with frogs...
Other pics from the weekend...
The other big news of the week is the A and E started Jr. Kindergarten this week. A went to school on Tuesday, and E went today (Wednesday). Now neither one goes again until next week when they both will go full time (2.5 hours per day). This week I drove them to school and picked them up afterwards, but starting next week they will take the bus. Hopefully.
When I asked each of them how school was, they both said "good". And that was pretty much all I could get out of them. For all I know they spent their school days eating candy and running around screaming; since those two things would constitute a good day in their opinions. :-)
Here are the mandatory first-day-of-school pics...
And one final one of A giving her sister a good luck hug this morning before we headed out the door (or is she trying to put a choke hold on her? One never knows) ...
