Crazy Hair

While we were away at being on TV, it was Daddy's job to take care of the girl's hair for school. Sean always said he couldn't do their hair, but this was excessive! This is how it came out!

No really, it was crazy hair day at school. I think Sean did a pretty good job at crazy hair! I put Keira's hair in sponge rollers and Kylie in tiny braids the night before. They had lots of great looks and Keira won the craziest award for her class!

And, well, what the girls get, Kaylum gets. He was a big hit walking around the mall.

We were on TV!!

I really meant to blog this a couple weeks ago, but I forget so easily about this blog. So here is the adventure of Kaylum being a toddler fashion show model on TV!! All the pictures are from my iPhone.

I answered a request from Christine at Vancouver Mom for toddlers to be on a local morning TV show's fashion segment for toddler fashion. It required us to be in Vancouver for 7am, so I thought, woah, maybe not. But then Christine got stuck so I said YES!!

Thankfully Sean took the day off so we could go down to the City TV Studios. It meant a 4:30AM wake up call for me. Ugh. Thankfully Kaylum's 7am bedtime snagged him 10hrs of sleep and he was good to go at 5:15am.

We had some time to wait before we went on TV, here's Kaylum eating cookies and watching Seasame Street in the green room.

Kaylum clothes he got to model were from Appaman. Super cute! The jeans were my favourite! And he had a pair of cute Converse to wear on his tootsies.

Round 1 of the Canucks playoff run was on when we were there and it was game day. So the Green Guys were there. If you watch hockey, you know what I am talking about. Kaylum wasn't to happy with these guys and this was the closest we could get to them, despite Aunty's text message requests to get a picture with Kaylum and the Green Guys. Note: This picture was taken from inside the studio, like I said, as close as we could get.

Breakfast TV is a live show. Here we are waiting for our segment. There were 4 other kids in the segment with us. Kaylum was the oldest. If you watch the clip, you can tell he's not a stranger to a camera in his face! LOL!

The experience was fun! Even if the morning started when I usually get up for a bathroom trip and go back to sleep. Christine was nice enough to give Kaylum his shoes which he reffers to as Chucks like any good boy with street cred should. HAHA. He gets lots of compliments on them!

Kaylum fell asleep on the way home.

Closed

There is nothing more sad to a 2 1/2 yr old boy than a closed toy store.

Brusha Brusha

Kaylum loves to brush his teeth all by HIMSELF! He really does need Mommy/Daddy help/supervision though.

Bye Bye Tooth!

A couple weeks ago we picked the kids up from my parents house and Keira informed us that she had 2 loose teeth! She has been waiting soooooo long to finally have her teeth loose. Kylie has lost 8 teeth already and some of Keira's friends have already started to loose their' s. She was beginning to think it was never going to happen for her. Well yesterday it did!

The one to the left is well on its way to coming out as well and you can see the adult teeth are up pretty high already.

The tooth fairy came and was nice enough to leave some money AND Keira's tooth. She said she's going to wait until the other tooth comes out to spend her money so she will have more!

OH! The big scratch is courtesy of her brother. He scratches when he's frustrated.

Olympic Adventures

The girls were off school yesterday so I thought we should take advantage of the gorgeous sun and head back into Vancouver. I thought my Olympic curiosity would have been settled with our trip in the week before the games began, but it wasn't. I have a little bit of Olympic fever!

So I left Kaylum with my parents and picked up my sister and we heading into the city on the Sky Train. It was the girls first time on it and they were loving it!

I had heard about the massive lines all weekend and I was a little unsure what Monday would bring. We didn't have a plan but I knew we wouldn't be waiting in any lines. Its just not do-able with kids. So we wandered.

This is Granville Street. There are so many little paper lanterns in the trees, I have seen pictures of them at night. Beautiful!

There are all sorts of welcome signs throughout the city.

Fun silhouettes. Still on Granville St.

This is the zip line over Robson Square. There were reports of 6-7 hour waits for this free ride. The ride lasts 30 seconds.

Posing with what I think are robot clowns.

They put on a fun show in Robson Square.

The one thing we did wait to see was the mascot show. The kids are really into the mascots. They each have one of their own. The wait was 1 1/2 hours but we were right at the railing so we got front row. I think it made our whole trip into the city worth while.

Miga

Keira says, Girls love Miga.

Quatchie

Kaylum calls his Quatchie doll, Crotchie.

Sumi

The girls got hugs from all the mascots, but Miga's hug was the best!

Outside the Russian's hotel. These are the mascots for the 2014 games in Sotchi.

I heard if you went to the Royal Bank that you could pose with the torch. This was the best we could do, the lady went home for the day that takes care of that. We did get some Olympic loonies and quarters though (another line up).

The cauldron. Its such a disappointment to see it behind all this chain link. But they line was incredible to get to the observation deck. And the girls weren't really thrilled with it in the first place. So I poked my camera through and got a shot. We were there. HAHA.

I do have some other images on my other blog if you haven't had a chance to look. Head on over! CLICK ME!

Happy Birthday Kylie!

I am a bad blogger Mom. Here is is almost a week after Kylie's Birthday and I am finally finishing her birthday post.

Happy Birthday Kylie! 7 wow! There is a lot of Olympic talk at our house lately and I was telling Kylie that I remember hearing the announcement that we won the Olympic bid, she was just a baby! And now here we are a week after celebrating her 7th birthday, they are here. This of course really has nothing to do with Kylie. Just the fact that time flies! You are growing up so fast!

We celebrated with Kylie's friends at The Great Escape! Oi! There were 13 kids at our party plus a million others there. Running, screaming, sweating and having a great time. They all really enjoyed themselves.

After we headed up to one of Kylie's favourite restaurants with most of our family for some yummy pasta and came back to the house for more cake and presents. What an afternoon!
