Another Beachy Day

So yesterday's massive downpour reminded me that summer is nearing an end. So to ensure we get the maximum out of our nice days, we took an impromptu trip to the Toronto Beaches. Actually, I got lost driving to the Scarborough Bluffs and ended up at Woodbine Beach.  That's a colossal oops.

This is my only pic from the beach.  Somehow my camera memory card got corrupted as I was uploading pics.  I'm sad I lost so many great pics.   I hope hubby can find a way to recover them.  Until then, here's Joshie hamming it up. 

Only 2 more sleeps until the first day of school!

End of Summer Fun at Rouge Beach

Well, we are in September now and summer is rapidly coming to an end.   Although it is still humid out and hot, the days are starting to get shorter. This Labour Day, we took them to Rouge Beach just to relax. We've been many times before since it's so close and less touristy.

Here we are tossing pebbles in the water

Bunny was afraid of the surf

But Joshie had no problems

We made a sandcastle

Had a picnic snack (oops forgot lunch!) and went home for a nap.  Hope you had a nice Labour Day.  What did you do?

Happy 2nd Birthday to Baby Bunny!

I can't believe we are on birthday #2 for baby bunny!  As he has reminded me quite often in the last couple of days, "I'm not baby, I big boy!"  He went from saying "love mama" 3 months ago to saying "i wuv you".  And if that isn't proof that my baby is growing up, he was first to race Joshie down the slide at Joshie's new school.

We started the day with some pancakes... his fave shapes.  Can you guess what these are?

After he went down for his nap, Joshie and I wrapped his presents.  Joshie chose the gifts and was so excited to give them to his little brother.

I made some pom poms for the front porch. It was a bit of a crazy week so I didn't do too much decorating.  I made a lot more last year but he seemed to like these because they were bigger.

Then a little message on the chalkboard

A train cake made by Popo.  He didn't want to blow out his candles so Joshie helped out.

Food catered from Francesca's and fruit from Nonna.

Overall, we had a great time with the family.   Hubby made the kids a rollerball game inspired by the Rollerball game at Ribfest and the kids played soccer with their cousins.

He had a lot of fun opening his presents

I love birthdays!
