Canadians DON'T have naps!

Today at nap time.............

Keely: "Canadians stay up at night. Canadians don't have naps."

Me: *laughter*

Keely: "Why you laughing?"

Me: "Because Canadians DO have naps"

Keely: "Not Keely Canadians."

A Peek at our Week

Here's a small glimpse into the many, many, many, conversations we've had the past week.....

Abbie: "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a princess at Disneyland."

Me: Keely, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Keely: "A mommy." *smile*

We started "pre-homeschool" this week with some friends to get our kids excited for kindergarten in the fall. Abbie has been so excited to start "school". On our way to our friends house ("school") Abbie asks with a quivery voice: Mom, were you scared on your first day of school?"

On talking about favorite colors:
Me: "Keely, what's Silas's favorite color?"
Keely: "Ummm, fizzy."
Me: "No, what's his favorite COLOR?"
Keely: "STARKITCHEN!!!!!"

Smilin' Silas

"Hiya!"
"Aww, schucks!"
"Say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"It's sure fun having giraffe pajamas!"
"You wanna piece a me?"

5 Years Old!

Abbie turned 5 years old on May 27th! We can hardly believe how fast these past five years have gone by. Some friends of ours were able to sign us in to Disneyland for the day and as Abbie said at the end of the day: "Mom, I had a magical day!"

Several of our friends were able to join us at Disneyland for the day. Abbie didn't quite understand that not all her friends have Disneyland passes and to hear her ask anyone and everyone she knew if they could come to her birthday at Disneyland, you would have thought that we rented out the park!

Abbie, Noah and Peter all rode Splash Mountain for the first time. Here was the conversation I had with Abbie afterwards:
Me: "Abbie, did you have fun on Splash Mountain?"
Abbie: "Yes!"
Me: "Do you want to ride it again?"
Abbie: "Noooooooo!"

Abbie and Princess Aurora (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose)

All in all, we had an exhaustingly fun day at Disneyland!!
