Happy Easter everyone!!
Springtime and Easter actually came together this year! We've had a wonderful weekend playing outside in the warm weather. The bikes and scooters have been brought out for the year and new helmets bought for kids that grow too fast. Everyone is enjoying being outside again. I have been working in the yard and finally took a vacuum to the van. Katie and Sarah have been exploring Cochrane's bike paths and have discovered how to quickly get to the river. Mandy has been playing outside, creating games and houses with all her webkinz, pinecones, and whatever else she can find. Joe has discovered a new level of freedom. We are working on teaching him his outdoor boundaries. It is not okay to go to the park without telling anyone!
Last night Katie and Sarah wanted to share a bike path with us that they took to the river. The girls rode their bikes to the river and the rest of us took the van, with bikes in the trunk for the younger kids. Katie and Sarah beat us to the river and were pretending to have fallen asleep by the time we got there. We crossed the bridge and decided to go on a path we hadn't taken before that goes up the other side of the river. Before long the girls realized that they could ride all the way to their friends house. So of course, that is what we did. I thought Joe might tire out, but he led the way. That kid is so full of energy. Thankfully it doesn't get dark until 9:00pm now. When we did make it home everyone was ready for bed.
Despite tiring them out yesterday, the kids were all up before 8:00am for the great Easter egg hunt! It was a crazy morning of too much sugar and not enough sleep. Everyone had fun, and in the end all the eggs were found. Thanks to Nanny Donna there were some special eggs with money in them this year. Joe was especially happy with his 5 dollar bill!
I didn't get any pictures though. I lost my camera battery charger :( Maybe I'll pick up a new one in the city tomorrow. I think this is our first Easter with no pictures.....
By the way our first poll closed today. We had a tie between red wine and iced tea for favourite drink.
Good-Bye Emirates

Hi Ann: I guess it was you that sent me an invitation to view this site about a week ago.It was the same Web Site. It was only signed JT or maybe it was TJ,I forget now,but there was no identifying name or address with it,so we deleted it. It asked us to view an Art Site & I see you have one here,so it must've been you. Very sorry about that. We are careful about clicking on stuff because of Viruses.I will look over this site later on today and comment then..Gail
It sounds like you guys had a great Easter and lucky you you had nice weather.Our sun shine and warm temps are suppose to be arriving this coming weekend. I envied you working in your garden. We had weather like that a month ago unfortunately it didnt last long. Our egg hunt was a sucess as well. Landon figured he had to eat every egg before heading onto the next one.
All the grandkids loved the hunt. we had a nice roast beef dinner as well. Loved reading your blogg I could just picture all the kids.
Gail, TJ is mom, Tugwood Jackson. She has an art blog now. Everyone is blogging. You should too! Thanks for all the photos Theresa, I couldn't believe how big Landon is getting.
Hey annie, love reading about the day. totally picture it. I miss the kids and you of course. before you know it they will be gone all day bike riding eh AJ(i figured I needed a two letter nickname for this blog....Aunty Julie)
Well I would like to use my initials as well, but they sound like someone either throwing up,as in GAA or GTA which would mean "Greater Toronto Area". I guess I could use TA but think I will just stick to Gail ,since it is short but not very sweet.......Gail
Happy Easter!
I loved hearing about your day, sounds like it was lots of fun. :)

I changed the initials to nannydonnatugwood or TJ, should be easier.
