First Day of School and House Painnting!

Below: Alex and "Mom" riding to school. Alex thinks it is so cool to ride to school with his backpack on! He has a "perma" grin on his face when he rides 5 blocks to school. He even has his own lock and key for his bike!

Below: Alex posing in front of his School "Ecole Lloyd George". Yesterday he was so excited about it being Monday today, so he could go to school. He loves learning French!

Below: Alex and his Kindergarten teacher Mme Viaud! She is a super teacher!

Below: Alex's new blue room! It turned out perfect! I can't wait to start moving in; however, my painting is going very slow. I am starting the main bathroom today, should be fun!

Below: The kitchen is done! I love it! The color and the tiles, it looks great! I just have to put some blinds up, so the neighbours don't get too freaked out when seeing me in the morning! Need some privacy!

I will show before and after pictures of the bathroom when done. I just got some decorating/painting advice from a woman. So I am attempting to try some risky decorating/painting with our bathroom......I hope it looks good. It may take a couple of days but I am giving it a try! Wish me luck!

Off for my run with the boys. I hope we don't run into any bears......yesterday I came face to face with Mumma Bear! Her "3" cubs were right behind her! That was a fast km I ran: my Nike Sports Band clocked a fast one!

Painting and Playing....

We have been very busy cleaning and painting our new house. We haven't moved in yet; however, Alex wishes we could move in ASAP! He is loves how the neighbourhood is saturated with kids(lots of boys). The kids are always outside: riding their bikes or scooters, playing in the park(that is literally our backyard), playing in the enormous sandpit, swinging and much more! It is a kid friendly neighbourhood with great families! I think we will love our new pad!

Alex and Dad cleaning outside of the garage(this is the back of the house/garage backing onto the lane).
Then right across the lane is this gorgeous park that Alex and his new friends rip around in from morning til dinner! Today was a warm sunny day and he was outside the entire day! Time for bed. I am also wore out(a little "loopy" from painting). I will show some pictures of Alex's room and the kitchen tomorrow(when they will be complete). Goodnight!

The Little Red House!

We are the proud owners of this cute little red house on Pine Crescent! We are currently cleaning, painting and gutting out the garage(more space for our 10 million bikes). Alex is having a blast with all the "kid" neighbours! Yesterday, he spent most of the day at the park(our backyard is backing onto a park), riding his bike, scooting around on his scooter and playing at other kids houses! He was exhausted last night!Greg and I have been keeping busy with running and biking and chasing Alex! The last 2 weekend I have ran some trail races in Kamloops: we are very fortunate to have such amazing trails. Below is a picture of Greg Johnson(winner), Sherry(president of our running club) and me(female winner).

We will try and update with some before and after pictures of our reno's for the new house. Off to take Alex to swimming lessons(Crocodile).
