Finishing the week (with Rowan and Tanner)

...continued from previous post...
Monday morning, March 24th, we left bright and early from Aunt Lydia's place after a cuppa good dutch coffee.  
We nicely cruised along till Red Deer where we stopped for coffee and donuts (mmmm). My cousin who lives a bit north of Calgary was gracious and offered to make up a pancake lunch for us to get as we drove thru - it was the perfect place to stretch our legs and take a break before making driving the final three hours home.

The kids were very cooperative which made the journey enjoyable. I think we all were tired too. By the time we got to Taber Seth was ready to jump out of the van and fly home - he could not contain his excitement to see his dad. That was nice to see:)
It was really fun to be able to show Natasha our home.  Tanner and Rowan were constant entertainment to us as they spent quite a some time testing each other to see who was ruler in the peking order. Two boys almost two years old can make simple toys seem like the most important thing around for their survival and we had to watch them figure out who was the  boss a few times.  Such cute little characters, full of life and sparkle.  Both don't speak too many legible words, but they really can show what they want and how.
 

Snack time

We spent Wednesday in Lethbridge as I had an appointment and while shopping I found a large ceramic bird that I liked for on the mantel. Of course I didn't need it so I didn't purchase it but mom came up with this idea that since it was going to be Andy's birthday next week... maybe he would like that bird... What a great idea eh?  (I knew he would be suspicious about it though and when we gave it to him at home for an early gift.... his face said it all :)) He knows how we work;D  It created a lot of laughter - and I love it.  Rowan and Tanner also loved the bird and were sweetly caressing it and carrying it around in their arms.  We will see how long it lasts;)

Welcome to our farm birdie - where birds of feather flock together.

Petting their new friend

Costco carts have room for two in the front of the cart.  What silly silly boys we had with us.

Tub time!

Oma wanted a picture of her with the kids yet, but they were not interested. 

Thursday morning before catching the plane in Calgary...

Coffee and crafts

Thanks to Ruth-Ann for getting engaged so we could have this fun time together! We are eagerly waiting for August to do it again, hopefully with even more people then...
We can't wait to host you in sunny Alberta!
