GRADE ONE
He had his current favourite breakfast to start the day: Corn Flakes, Mama Muffin, Applesauce & Chocolate Almond Milk
He posed on the stairs with his sister
He has a new backpack, lunchbox and shoes
He walked to school in the morning
He said
hello to friends
He hugged his sister goodbye
He walked into the school
He forgot that he was supposed to come home for lunch and we waited and waited and waited. Finally we discovered that he was sitting with all the other kids who stay for lunch and was eating applesauce (his afternoon snack).
Owen: Mama, why did you only pack me applesauce for lunch
Mama: The applesauce is your afternoon snack. You wanted to come home for lunch remember?
Owen: Oh Yeah.
(thinking)
Owen: Mama, how come I did not have 3 recesses?
Mama: Because school is not over yet, you are going back after lunch and you will have another recess in the afternoon
Owen: OK But when do I have my afternoon snack? And what will I have?
Mama: Your teacher will let you know when snack time is and I will pack you another snack
Owen: This grade one stuff is pretty confusing!
She was upset that she forgot about
her backpack and demanded to go back to school with it on
She walked and walked and walked with her backpack on
He rode his bike to school for the afternoon session (after lunch)
He left school very happy!
We visited with my Grandma Beryl
He took photos
We played by the beach in Barrie
With Madison
And with Cameron
He swam with his friends in Lake Simcoe
Cameron posed for the camera with glow bracelets on
Madi twirled with her glow necklaces and bracelets on
He posed
I attempted to get all 4 kids to look at the camera
And this is as close as I came "Make a funny face for me!"
I love our tradition of celebrating the first day of school with our friends in Barrie; having a final swim in water outdoors, playing in sand, having a last picnic before the weather gets too cold. The kids had a great time playing and the mama's had a bit of time to chat.
A more perfect first day of school could not be found!
The boys were all about the big foam #1 fingers. Go Jays Go!
Relaxing with feet up.
Pizza...popcorn...licorice...lots of yummy snacks
A fun day was had by all!

And like my very own boy, he loves to make faces for the camera:
Church Picnic Scavenger Hunts
Cotton Candy
Water slides at The Stephen's
T-Ball Trophy Day
Girls with sparkly hairbands
Terry Fox Walk
and oh so much more...
I have such fond memories of my childhood sleepovers; staying up late, laughing, playing Barbies, staying up late, eating different snacks, telling stories, staying up late, watching movies, reading books and most importantly staying up late.
Jackson arrived here last night with his jammies, Bear and pillow...prepared and ready to spend a night at our home. I am so thankful for these friends (we love you Taylor family) in our lives who put their trust in us and allow their son to come and stay with us for the night.
There were some similarities between the sleepovers of my youth and Owen's last night...and there were some differences. They did stay up late! The also watched Ben 10 episodes in a nest on the floor, they ate yummy snacks, played Star Wars on Wii, played DS games, laughed, wrestled, giggled, had an old fashioned pillow fight and started off the night in Owen's bed. In the middle of the night Owen woke up with a sore belly and after some water and Gravol came in to bed with us...poor boy!
They woke up this morning WAY to early, but are in good moods and still the very best of friends. This first sleepover was a SUCCESS!
