proof

well here's the proof that she can do it...she's now a big girl who rides a "motorcycle"! that's what Des calls it anyway....





hi Preston, we miss you!!!! lots and lots!

while at work, we came up with a great idea, make your own sundae! these were our ingredients, we added some fruit in there just to make it somewhat of a healthy dessert!



the kids making their sundaes

who needs spoons?

5 kids and 1 puddle...

when I arrived the kids were sitting outside on the patio eating pizza...



Brandon brought this neat game that involved an electronic ball and 6 bracelets, it consisted of tossing the ball around on command, the little kids thought it was great, but they weren't so great at playing it...!



they went for a dip in the pool, but then it started to rain, so they came inside, were playing downstairs, then I saw the rainbow, and told them to come upstairs so I could get their picture with the rainbow...if you look closely there is one up in the sky...!



then there was a minor accident with a ball and Destiny's face, so to stop the tears mr.freezers were taken out and dispersed amongst the kids...and this photo just had to be taken! can you tell which coloured mr.freezers the kids had?



and that rain shower we had made these puddles even deeper, so of course they got out the bicycles and rode through the puddle over and over and over and over again!



who knew that one puddle could hold so many kids on bicycles?!









this is a re-enactment of when he actually did accidentally fall in the puddle. all the times after that were not so much accidents...



this is what a kid looks like after they've taken a dip in a dirty puddle!




and for your viewing pleasure, lots of videos of kids cycling through a dirty puddle, but to them, it was the funnest thing ever!

here and there

some pictures I had on my camera...


Fonda and Tina with our magnificent lighthouse in the background...




waiting for traffic to slow down so they can cross



can you tell which one is who?




some silly people with stickers on their faces...

nickname

as I am leaving them after a fun filled day at New Maryland days, this was our conversation...

me: can I call you P-man?

preston: ummm, how about punk?

me: punk?

preston: yep, punk.

me: how about mr. punk?

preston: no, just punk.


as I was getting into the car I heard Preston, aka Punk, say to his Auntie Fonda, "that girl in red just called me Punk!"

meeting preston

I was so excited to meet Preston, I had heard so much about the little guy, and wanted to welcome him to Canada! Fonda and the crew arrived back in Fredericton on Wednesday night, and she returned to work bright and early on Thursday morning...so I went to the French household that Thursday after work! I had planned on what I was going to say to Preston, tell him that I had heard all about him, that he liked to do "farts and crafts" and that he was super smart...Destiny opened the door for me, and I didn't even get out "hi Preston" before the little guy (he's not really that little, he's over 4 feet tall!) exclaimed, "do you wanna see a snail?", "can we show you a snail?" "let's go outdoors, I wanna show you a snail!". So needless to say, Preston is far from shy, I don't think he stopped talking the entire time I was at the house for those few hours. So welcome to Canada Preston, I look forward to your many stories and perhaps we can do "farts and crafts" some day!
