…he put together our new IKEA furniture.
Colm turned six today!!! We also moved today so it wasn’t a very exciting day for him, but once the movers were gone, we had a fun evening!

Colm wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday, so….
JACKPOT!
This is what heaven looks like to Colm. 🙂
He also wanted ice cream (not cake) for his birthday, so we had an ice cream buffet.
We went to a great event at the boys’ school tonight. It was a science fair for the older kids and a science exhibition/demonstration/open house for everyone else. Colm’s class is growing lima beans, exploring the water cycle and learning about oviparous animals. Liam’s class is learning about insects and weather.
The boys checking out Liam’s meal worms. Each child has two meals worms they are taking care of. One of Liam’s had shed its skin…very cool.

I am an art literacy volunteer at the boys’ school which means I go into the classrooms and help present lessons on various artists. The children learn about the artist’s life, see examples of their work and learn some art vocabulary along the way as well. To do this, all of the volunteers go to a training session each time a new artist is going to be taught. We are taught the same way the kids are going to be taught including making a piece of art in the same style of the artist they are learning about. This one is mine.
I am still here and still taking pictures, but we are moving and unpacking and all of that jazz. I will be back soon…just a little busy right now. Hopefully I will get caught up this weekend. Cheers!

Both of the boys had their first soccer games of the season this Saturday. Unfortunately, their games are at opposite ends of the city. We did A LOT of driving on Saturday and will continue to do so every Saturday for the next two months. Joy.

A very blurry action shot…yes, I am going to ask for a new camera for my birthday
Good game, good game, good game…
Half-time chat

Good game, good game, good game…
And after all of this soccer, we took Colm to his baseball game. TIRED!!!
Colm’s birthday isn’t until this Friday, but the postman doesn’t know that. He got a set of presents in the mail and he wasn’t about to wait a whole week to open them.
