Mommy: You're funny. You should be a comedian.
Matthew: Ummm, yes.
Mommy: Do you know what a comedian is?
Matthew: Tell me.
Mommy: A comedian is a person who tells jokes.
Matthew: I think I'll be a cameleon... Do you know what a cameleon is?
Mommy: Tell me.
Matthew: It's an animal who tells jokes! (silly grin)

second annual
This weekend was the second annual suziebeezieland Saskatchewan convention. Nadine and I met up again and I had a great time.
We let her shop. (well, kinda. Matthew kept recommending interesting products to her and Caleb had a two year old tantrum because we left his soother in the car)
We went out for lunch and kept her entertained by telling silly stories and throwing toys on the floor so that mommy would have to stick her head under the table to get them. Oh and of course we looked at all the scrapbooking supplies that she bought!
We drove her back to her aunt's house and sang "If I had a Million Dollars" to her and pretended to see various animals in the back of the truck ahead of us.
Just your typical suziebeezieland convention :)
Thanks Nadine! You were such a great sport and so kind to the boys! We had so much fun!
Here's what we did:
The boys and I picked her up at her aunt's house (which is exactly a two minute drive from our house. Really. It is. I timed it on our way home)
We took her to a scrapbooking store that is closing down next week so everything was 50% off!

turning four
Just some photos from the big four year old's busy weekend. The cake stayed together and the party was loads of fun :)
He started the big day with a banana muffin with a candle in it for breakfast.
A cool new bike from Mommy and Daddy!
Opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house (he got a cool scooter and some outdoor toys)
Playing outside that afternoon with the sprinkler and new outdoor toys.

Ice cream cake with the Grandmas and Grandpas (and uncle Mark)
Then the next day was his pirate party. Everybody at the party was given a pirate name. Here's Captain Matthew Firebeard!
Captain Matthew's brother, "Parrot-Got-Me-Eye" Caleb:
Here's the amazing lego pirate ship that Uncle Mark built for the pirate party. I couldn't get Matthew to look at the camera for this. Can you blame him?
Before the big treasure hunt, the boys had to decorate their pirate treasure bags with foamie pirate stickers. 
On the way to the treasure, they were instructed to decorate our driveway with some pirate-y chalk pictures.
X marks the spot (quit looking at my derrière!)
Finally... the treasure!
And another shot of the cake!
How old are you buddy?
Building with his logs (a gift from Grandma and Grandpa D.)
Caleb is learning not to break every log cabin that Matthew makes :)
Mommy needs a little snuggle with her big birthday boy.

popping in
Hi!
Just popping in during the busiest month of the school year (I haven't worked the full month of June since 2002 which means I planned all my maternity leaves very well)
And if Chrissy happens to be popping in too, here are some photos to show you what we've been up to for last little while... (just kidding Chrissy)
Caleb, just being cute :)
You know that game where you throw the tennis ball and it sticks to the velcro? Well, this is Matthew playing that game. Honest, that's Matthew.
Just in case you needed proof:
Cutie Caleb again. His favourite things to say lately: "maybe", "of course" and the ever famous "no".
Cousins Matthew, Caleb and baby Maya
Matthew getting his graduation folder (there is such a cute story to go with this)
Even though he still has another year of preschool, he still had a graduation. Isn't he handsome?
And don't forget about the pirate party coming up next weekend. Yesterday, the boys dressed up as pirates and we hand delivered the invitations (the invitations are rolled up inside those water bottles) And yes, that is a tea towel on Caleb's head :)
