Anyhow, they rented a house/cottage/chalet type place up in the Blue Mountains for the month - even though we keep saying that they can stay with us, that we don't mind, they never do. Not for more than a few nights. I think they think they're 'in the way'. They're not. At all.
Anyhow, so last weekend we went up for the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, and when we arrived, The Girl Who LOVES PINK AND FLOWERS AND ALL THINGS GIRLY was given her choice of bedrooms:
Complete & Total Heaven for Emma, right?
Yeah.
She chose this one:
Surprised the hell outta me. And here, I thought I knew my kid.
Michael had to have the room with the bright pink flowers. He was less than pleased. And quite loud about it. Until quite late at night. And carried on till the wee morning hours too.
But then, he got to go on the big boy swing (his first time) in the park down the street:
And here is Jeff and his father. At least Jeff will know EXACTLY what he's going to look like in 30 years! Kinda freaky, eh?
Have I mentioned that Emma "flies" everywhere? Except when she just gets out of the shower. Cuz then she's temporarily grounded, as her "wings are wet". And everyone knows you can't fly with wet wings. Or when she has a band-aid on one finger. Cuz then she's off balance. That doesn't work so well when in flight.
And now she's got Esther, the kids in the court, the nurses in the ER (from when Michael got his glue-stitch), and Michael flying everywhere. My kid is a trend setter. She's even giving 'lessons', cuz apparently flying isn't as easy as it looks. But it's quite fun when you're on a drive in the country, and have all the windows open!

If you're still with me, feel free to check out more photos from our weekend up north. Here we are Kite Flying for the first time! And here we are Picking Apples! (Everyone agreed that it was much more fun than it sounded! Initially they just wanted to go and BUY the apples! Go figure!)

I want the room with the pink flowers :)
Jeff and his dad look like brothers!!
Sign me up for Emma's flying lessons. Maybe not today, though. It's raining hard here in NY and ya know....I can't fly with wet wings :)
I was thinking that she picked the room with the big pink flowers too!
And, wow, Jeff and his dad look like twins!
You didn't know you couldn't fly with wet wings? What kind of mother are you!
I love the pictures and Michael looks to cute when eating those apples. Joshua used to be convinced he could fly it was really cute. Can't see the video though it says its private.
WOW does your husband ever look like his dad.. he will look exactly like him when he gets older! Love the pics :) I could not watch the video though because it says it is protected.. oh but you already knew that from the previous poster.. lol
Hope you are having a brilliant weekend :)
Do I get a say in all this? Oh well, it never stopped me before, I think George and Charlene should leave Collingwood asap and spend the rest of their time here with you, Jeff and the kids, I'll even invite everyone for dinner, I'm thinking Pickle Barrel or Shoeless Joe's! Can I get a HELL YES???

Ya! They came all this way to see you... so why so far?????
Who's agreeing with me? Is that you Martine???

Those are some pretty fancy cottages. I would have picked the big pink floral myself...it was a bit funky.
Michael looks pretty terrified in the video! Emma's flying class doesn't offer parachutes for toddlers?
I am so shocked that he swings so well at his age! Stick that kid in gymnastics or something because that is awesome balance!
