A playdate snap...

Mackenzie James...super boy genius.

Sometimes, when Miss. Matea blesses Big Mack and I with a nap in the afternoon (she actually BROKE her crib this morning, not to worry, it's fixed...and there are no injuries to report, at this time) we hang out tin the basement and play, and he lets me blog a little bit, and we watch tumblebooks (which he thinks are HILARIOUS!) and we do a little "school work" while he jumps on the spare bed - he is totally going to be THAT kid in grade one that can't sit still, and vibrates at the mere mention of recess :)

A N Y W A Y

the other day when we were practicing our letters (he tells me the letter and we decide something that starts with that letter) he got his little board and some of his letters, and I said to him, "okay you set it up, and then we will do some school"...and this is (no word of a lie) what he did

Super....boy....genius, right?

Cute lil' genius

sometimes he gets a little frustrated/bored

And he also has dino parades...

Sunday Silence

Just pictures today....

*I almost never post pictures of myself...rare, it might come down tomorrow ;)



Boys Only!

Today Big Mack and I went for a "Boys Only" play date, and I loved, loved, loved being able to take some pictures of all the fun - okay and I lied it wasn't only the boys, lil' Fenna was there for a little bit too, after she woke up from her nap :) 

Aidan has a super fun snow hill right outside his front door!  They boys had SUCH a GREAT time sliding down the hill, playing in the backyard, and sinking in the snow :)

Always fun times at the Sijbrandi house!  

So tonight I have totally fallen in ♥ with both posting my pictures in templates & editing in black and white, hope you enjoy :)

Aidan and his Momma - she said she looked tired, I think she looks GREAT :) 

Two friends having a little cheesy bread snack

sweetness & grace, all in one face...

Pizza Rollups!

Got this very fun recipe from my sisters "food-y" blog--check it out http://jenclevette.blogspot.com/ 

It is a very fun (and easy, c'mon it's me we are talking about) recipe if you have a little guy that enjoys "helping" in the kitchen...oh and they are delicious, which is ALWAYS a plus :)

*a small confession, my pizza rollups were not as pretty

 as my sisters, so I totally stole her picture off her blog-tee hee* 

M & M Project 365-ish

I am trying to PROJECT 365 this year.  The reason I am calling it "PROJECT 365-ish" is because I couldn't really start until today, February 1...and I didn't have my super cool iPhone.  Check out today's picture - Uncle Jer looking pretty cute :)

M & M Project 365-ish..at the very least check out the super cute banner, I love it :)

I missed...

I have been doing a "little" teaching assignment for the last few months, and today was my last day.  Bittersweet. 

I will miss the students that I had for the last few months...but "the sweet?" part of bittersweet...well you be the judge.  I took these pictures the day before I started the "little" teaching job...

sometimes I feel like I missed SO MUCH :)
