New to "N"

For this first week of "N", we ate noodles, nuts, and nectarines. The kids used their nightlights. We drove through Nanoose Bay. Jacob slept under his Nascar bed tent. We sang along to nursery rhymes at a library event.

"N" week began with us finishing our family camping trip in the U.S. While there, Jacob showed us his nurturing side:

We enjoyed national pride:

Mads made a new friend (whose mom is a nurse!):

Warren and I were thrilled to spend time with our nephew and nieces:

None of us were thrilled, however, with the NINE hour trip home:

Also this week, we found a new water toy at a thrift store:

We learned about Newton's Law of Gravity, that what goes up...

...must come down!

Warren needed new running shoes, so bought these Nike ones:

Mads and I worked together on a craft involving a needle and thread:

We set up Jacob's new splash pool:

My sister gave me an early birthday gift, a new camera strap:

With all of the nice weather, we pulled out the nets:

Madison announced washing dishes as her "new job":

Madison provided the neighbourhood with much-needed nourishment on a hot day:

I had a near-disaster because I was doing too many things at once:

We did a noodle "N" paper plate craft:

The kids got close to nature with a ladybug...

...and a baby dragonfly:

Madison set the table with nice cloth napkins one evening for supper:

I ran a few errands at one of our malls:

Of course, we NEEDED to eat nanaimo bars:

I painted Madison's nails:
