I love picnik!

Did I mention that I love picnik? It's an online photo editing program and is super easy to use for people like me who look at photoshop and get confused! I love playing with it and making changes to my photos just for fun, oh and they have an 'Insta Thin' button which I love! Anyways I am certainly no expert and just mostly do silly things with it but it keeps me busy while I am sitting in Imogens room settling her for the hundreth time in a night. I love the photo that I posted a few days ago of Eli as he looks so beautiful and innocent and like my baby still (not the 4 year old he will be in a few weeks, sob!) BUT he had a really dirty face in it, so I cleaned it up and maybe just made his eyes a teeny bit bluer :) Oh I get excited about the silliest things!
Anyways here are some photos from the week...
Spot the one of Eli where I found him scrounging Imogens highchair for cheerios - seriously, who needs a dog?

I love my cot (not)

Gorgeous girl playing in her cot. She has just figured out how to pull up to standing on the side of it but she can't quite stay there so she falls back and smacks her head on the opposite rail everytime! Poor baby.

May Long Weekend

So Helen and Buu came over for Saturday/ Sunday and we had a really nice catch up (well ok the boys played and made so much noise we barely spoke but it was all fun!!) Unfortunately it rained the whole time so everything we did was in the rain but we still had fun. I didn't take too many photos but here are a few to have a peek at... (some are off my phone and not from this weekend at all but the last few weeks)

Eli and Elliott walking home from preschool

Imogen at Timmies today having lunch 

Zach and Eli eating dinner last night - gorgeous boys

And Imogen eating hers...

A pretty awful pic of me and the kiddies

Helen and Eli snuggling, David sleeping and Buu playing on his ipad all while watching Toy Story

oh for some reason it didn't rotate and now I can't do it but Eli climbing up the tire tower

Zach and Buu watching from the top

And that's all I have for now! xx

Messy Faces

For Mothers day a few weeks ago David and Eli got me a Cadburys Creme Egg fondue. YUMMY! ELi has never had fondue before and he LOVED it. He is a true Oldfield with his chocolate obsession! He didn't really want any of the fruit or marshmallows so he just dipped them in and sucked the choc off! Here he is diving in! The funny thing was that he had already had a bath and had his PJ's on. He had to have another bath when he was all done!

and David

and a really attractive one of me!

Eli is getting really good at writing his name now. He has taken so much interest in writing and reading lately. He is always asking me to spell everything.

We've done lots of fun activities - two of his fave were filling up ice cube trays with a medicine dropper. OH yes - this took a long time :)

and working on mixing primary colours with a turkey baster. Another one that kept him busy for ages :)

 

He also discovered he loves colouring since we got our printer fixed and can print out pictures of Imaginext toys! (and yes I know he is holding his pen wrong- we have corrected it now and he has finally 'got it'!)

And some of my beautiful girl

with Kai

I took this to send to Aunty May as she bought this little summer outift.

getting in on the Fondue action, sadly for her without the chocolate!

fast asleep after a good day at the park.

And a couple more of Eli 'chopping' the tree down!

and waiting patiently for daddy to get home from work! (while wearing his bike helmet!) 

Have a good week everyone and will post some more after our weekend. Yay, it's a long weekend - David has Monday off so hopefully the weather will be great and we'll do something fun. Helen and Buu are coming today for a night which will be nice. x

The Ants go Marching...

Eli singing at the park last week. He didn't realise I was filming him which is why he didn't stop!

Randoms and a trip to Saltspring

Off to the park

Imogen watching Eli play

throwing food for the ducks

We made bracelets with Cheerios one day - Eli thinks it's the best invention ever!

One day Eli will remember how to smile again without saying cheeeeeeeeeese

Waiting for the Saltspring ferry

At Aunty Mays house 

The Revelar -  Aunty May has just accepted an offer for it.

Eli looking after Bella on the dock on his own while David and Aunty May went onto the boat. Me watching from the house wondering how fast I can grab Imogen and run all the way down there to save my drowing boy...

Eli on the Zipline - for Oscar and Alfie

It's May already!

Imogen in her new carseat. Not looking impressed!

Eli and Charlie on the baby swings at Oliver Woods. (Getting Eli out was fun!)Imogen chewing her hairbrush while playing outside...previously chewed by Eli and Lulu!

The next bunch of pictures were all at the beach/park in Parksville last Friday. We spent the day there, had a picnic courtesy of Tim Hortons. Imogen's first play on the beach, first taste of sand!

 Eli decided he needed soup. Seriously- he is a bagel-aholic but the one time we take it to the park he wants soup so that he can slop it everywhere!!

Eli and Charlie playing while Daddy plays footy. (that would be the kids goal not the adults incase you were wondering!)

Imogen cheering on daddy.
