Look at my brave strong girl!! She has pretty much mastered the no-training wheel thing. She’s still a little wobbly at the start and stop, but she is quite steady in the middle.
Medieval Faire 2008
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
Daddy was the hero of the weekend. He took R and neighbour B to the Medieval Faire, and bought them lots of treats. We saw the aftermath, and it was quite scary! (Check out the gallery. Needless to say the kids were winging around for quite a while afterwards. Still, as you can see from the pictures and captions, they had a great time. Daddy also decided to let them play games that he thought would be fun to take pictures of, hence the pillow-on-a-log-fight. They also took some time to sit and watch the ‘show’, the jousts by people dressed as nights etc. But, they found some sand, and that proved to be much MUCH more exciting.
First day of Junior Kindergarten…

Well, she’s off. R had her first day of JK today. Although she was a little nervous at first, once she was there, she was a trouper. It helps that she was back at the same school as the year before. She also knew most of her friends. The parents and kids were all outside in the playground playing and talking. M (R’s teacher) called the kids to line up, and all the parents took that opportunity to snap pictures. Then M lead them inside, and all 10 of them went in without one tear…the parents were left behind wondering where the good-byes and hugs were…none to be had! Well I’m glad. They baked cookies on their first day, so of course it was a big hit.
I broke my cardinal rule…

So, I broke my cardinal rule today. It was cleaning day (read not me cleaning!) and my rule is that I should never mess up my kitchen on cleaning day. We eat simple suppers, and if they are messy, we eat outside (ok, I don’t make my family eat outside during winter). Auntie V cooked a whole mess of corn, took it off the cob and froze it. However, she left no sign what-so-ever that the kitchen had been touched. Thinking I could be like her, I decided to tackle the 4L of blueberries that I bought today.
So I decided to make cooked blueberry jam. (I am a cooked-jam-virgin) I thought I could do it in a nice tidy way but I was wrong. There were blueberries everywhere, sugar everywhere, and hot jam everywhere. To top it off I sliced my finger on the food processor blade. Anyways, my kitchen is not so clean but I do have some jars of jam to show for it! Next on the list is another batch of peaches. Sorry no pictures!
