Clean house!

Grandpa and Grandma Visser headed out on Tuesday and I had a few moments to realize what a mess the house was, haha! Mom and I had cleaned it up nicely. Here's what it looks like when it's pretty:
















These are newly covered! They are wonderful!!! I love how easy they wipe off!




















We "painted" the kitchen floor. I LOVE how good it looks now!

Dresses Part #2

I finished up some skirts for Amber the other day and mom took them home with her. Here's what they looked like:

Fall!

This past week we have noticed more and more changes to fall. Everything is changing colour and personally it's one of my favourite seasons. This past week I manged to snap a few photos of the tree across the road and beside us. There is one other tree I want to get some photos of before the leaves are totally gone.

For now here are a couple of fall photos and random boy shots:

Back-To-School Gifts

Every year we give the boys back to school gifts. Well I guess this is the first year it was a "back" to school gift. Last year it was a "welcome" to school gift.

Last year they got some duplo! And they loved it. But since we have more duplo than we know what to do with they got something else:













K got a globe. A small one but he loves it! He saw this summer that Uncle Jack had one and we haven't heard the end of it since then. Especially since school has started and everyone has them on their shelves in the stores. Kyler has wanted it. When Arnold and I found this one we *knew* we could get it for K and it's just perfect in size.

Q's gift:







Was some threading games. He has to match the correct cord and correct colour to the animal and thread the string around it. Who would have guessed this would have provided about 2 hours of entertainment. Each child does one, hands it back I un-thread it and hand it to the next child. It's incredible! Next the are learning to tie bows so Kyler can get running shoes with laces.

And last they got a gift together. When I showed Arnold the gift he thought it was perfect.











It's like operation but with a car. The boys love it. My favourite photo has to be these ones showing what Q looks like when the car beeps the horn and the lights flash:





They had alot of fun playing around:









All in all I think great back to school gifts!
