Learning the Game of Football

I decided to try and teach the boys a little bit about football. (You know that they are going to be the future stars for the Riders...) Everything started out great. Abinet got in position and was ready to go.

But, Mesele thought that he was supposed to get into the same position to catch the ball!
Okay, so we had a little more work to do!

After a few tries, they had this down and made Mommy very proud! I can just see them proudly wearing the Green and White, waving to all their fans before they begin the Grey Cup game! Oh come on....you ALL know they have what it takes :)

A Spring Picnic

We finally had some nice weather, so the boys and I decided to have a nice little picnic outside. We ate, did LOTS of "Cheers" (I'm not sure what we were toasting too), and then had popsicles for the first time in a long time! I think that you can tell by the expression of their faces just how much they enjoyed these treats!
It was so fun and I'm sure there will a lot of picnics to come in the future!!

The First Soccer Game!

On Wednesday, Mesele played in his first soccer game. It was so cute to see the team so excited to play against another team! First, they started out doing some very important stretches!After that, the coach gave them a little pep talk, and then it was time to PLAY!

(this is the ready position)

Our team did awesome! We lost track of how many goals we scored! Mesele scored three on his first shift. He was so proud and he kept dancing on the sidelines because he couldn't contain his excitement! It's hard to tell if he likes hockey more then soccer, but right now....I think he's content with this sport!
(by the way,that's THREE goals I scored.........)

Mesele's Graduation

I was a very proud Mommy yesterday as I watched Mesele graduate from Pre-school!The kids put on a Mother's Day Tea and did graduation at the same time. We got our Mother's Day gift, made trifle together, ate and watched a slide show of the year that all the kids had.
All the graduates walked in wearing the little hats and went around all the tables before going up on stage. They sang a coulple of songs and then received their diplomas!
This is just a little video clip of one of the songs that the kids sang. So cute!! Yes, my boy is going up (just to fast!)
