Khéna, you’re the greatest baby…

Daddy, you’re the greatest Daddy…

Mommy, you’re the greatest Family”

Car seat update…

I just thought I should update this issue…

Khéna is now 36 pounds and there is no seat that has been tested for his weight.. I went on the Car-seat forums… the place that will make you feel like dirt if you don’t keep your child RF until they are past the limits and will help you find any solution that will keep a child RF for the longest possible and really there is nothing to be done for now… so 2 weeks ago, with a very heavy heart I switched Khéna from RF in the Sunshine kids Radian (which is one of the strongest seats out there at the moment) to FF in the Evenflo Triumph which is just more comfortable and will be good for FF until he hits 40 pounds or outgrows it height wise.

So here is what they all look like now… (Colin and Xavier are in 5 point harnesses in the Radians)

Hallow'een and haircut…

Hallow’een was great this year…

Simon took the day off and we did stuff around the house and got the kids ready slowly… around lunch time I asked Colin if he would like me to cut his hair… he said yes so I ran with it… and I am pretty happy at the way that it turned out…

After lunch we got ready and left here at about 3:30 and headed to my friend’s house in Montreal… Traffic was crazy and we got to her house at about 5:30 instead of the planned 4:30… it started getting dark soon after the boys were antsy to get out and ToT… So we got them ready and put Khéna on Simon’s back and they headed out the door….

So the boys all went out and I stayed with Gen and a friend of hers and we answered the doorbell and ate a great supper that Gen made (black bean soup, stuffed squash and apple-plum crisp) and just talked… the boys came back with their load, ate a bit and then Xavier wanted to go out again with Eric (Gen’s boyfriend) So hey went out and then came back about 20 min later and then we headed home…

I had brought Gen her skirt which she tried on and fit great! and she gave me the things that I ordered from the co-op and scholastic… so we came back with a few boxes.. I love the books that we got!!
