Back Ater

We got back yesterday from a 2 and half weeks vacation. It was a fun, family, screaming, pooped, filled vacation. I just can't seem to get away from people trying to parent us or the poop. Taylor and Spencer had been sick when we left and it continued for the first few days of our trip, at least for Taylor. Quinten then got sick our first night. Let's just say over the last couple of weeks we threw out 7 pairs of underwear and 1 bathing suit. And did multiple loads of laundry.
On our first night Spencer decided that screaming might be fun. At supper a very drunk lady told him to shut up just loud enough for the kids to hear. She then asked us to get him to stop and asked why he was screaming, well Chris being Chris told her we asked him but he didn't answer us, go figure he's 1 1/2. She then told us that we shouldn't go out with him and we should stay home. And that she had 2 one year olds and they never screamed. Well good for you lady go have another. The screaming continued for the whole trip but at least we didn't get parented for it.
It was great to have a week just us a family and then the rest with friends and family in Penticton. Gotta love the close to 40 degree weather. Oh how I miss that.
It is good to be home and getting back into the swing of things. Once I get a good handle on the laundry I'll post pictures

Little things excite me

We've been doing yearly pictures of the kids well for about 5 years now. Okay more often in the first 2 years but whatever. In the past we've gone to Sears, which ends up costing us what seems like a fortune. I figured we could try doing it ourselves, so off we traipsed to Fish Creek park. We got some good ones of Quinks and Spencer, and Taylor but we didn't go planning for her yearly ones. She gets school pictures. Anyway, I put the pics into photo shop made my own wallets and such. I have to say I am very impressed at how they turned out and the cost is amazing. What would have probably cost us $200, if not more, cost us $22. I think we ordered 26 sheets. So you see that is what has got me excited this evening. I love when a plan works out. I'll leave you with a sample, although I think the actual printed copies look better.

Have a great weekend!
