Aaron and Mocha

A couple of extra pictures, Aaron and all his freckles, so cute and little Miss Mochie.

The third picture is a plaque Joce bought on her recent trip to the states and is now in her kitchen. Very appropriate!

Greg's birthday

Sunday was Greg's official birthday, so there was another party , well, just supper of his choice (pizza) and another cake , a bowling ball and pin.

Then came another round of presents. A scooter from Mum and Dad, Magnetics from Aaron and a new game for the DS from Uncle Evan and Aunt Marcelle, which he is playing in the picture of him on the couch with his DS.

Greg had his friend birthday party on Friday night. It was held at a bowling alley, where the kids bowled and did breakdancing. Who knew it could be done at the same place. Joce has pictures of this on Facebook. Greg was very pleased with all his gifts. One of his favorites was Martian Matters, where you make aliens with something like Play Doh, then their guts with some slimy stuff, then you dissect the guts and everything is slimy and messy. Just perfect for a 7 year old.

Summer Vacation

School ended on Friday at noon. Aaron headed directly for the computer to play games and Greg follwed him, getting as close to Aaron and the computer as he could.

Well isn't this exciting?? My very own blog. Unfortunately there's not too much to report. Jocelyn arrived home last night from her trip, tired, but happy to be home. Greg and I made her a cake, which he really enjoyed as you can see.

He is going on a field trip tomorrow to Magnetic Hill. Hard to believe that school is finished on Friday at noon. Where did the year go???

Aaron had a busy weekend. Friday night was a birthday party, sleepover at Nathan's house. They were up early the next morning as Nathan has a paper route. Then Saturday night another sleepover at Mack's house. They decided to try and stay awake all night. Aaron said they made it to midnight, but after that, he's not sure when they fell asleep. I doubt it was very much past midnight. Whenever it was he was tired when he got home on Sunday, so he napped in the afternoon. Then last night they went to pick up Joce at the bus, and it was 10 o'clock before they got to bed. So today Aaron was dead tired, as all that lack of sleep caught up with him. He stayed home, napped a little, played Wii etc, read and seems to be back up to scratch.

Think that's the news for now. I'm anxious to get back into the garden, but the ground has been quite damp, and there are so many darn mosquitoes, we usually don't have very many, but this year they're all over the place.

Later...
