The Can-Am Youngs: May 2015
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. Eliot likes to "mow" the lawn with GranDad. He follows behind with his truck to make sure it's all done properly. Sunny weather just makes everyone smile. Yesterday we went to the Farmer's Market and the boys each chose out two tomato plants to raise. Eliot also picked out a lovely geranium. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Both boys were thrilled to find themselves back on a beach. They knew exactly what to do. Both Eliot and Peter were very impressed. The day was a huge success, as indicat...

The Can-Am Youngs: May 2014
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 11, 2014. I find myself sitting in front of the computer, wanting to write something eloquent about motherhood and all it means to me and all of the mothers who have touched my life in addition to my own wonderful mother. But I'm almost too tired to think (I'm counting the days until Spencer gets home on Wednesday). I suppose there is a kind of eloquence in the exhaustion that comes from caring for young children. I love my sweet boys so much. They made it a very happy Mother's Day indeed.

The Can-Am Youngs: The Maple Sugarin' Festival
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-maple-sugarin-festival.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. The Maple Sugarin' Festival. About five miles east of West Bend there is a farm/nature center called Riveredge. In the early spring they have a maple sugaring festival when you can see where maple syrup comes from and participate in all sorts of fun activities. The boys started out with some bird watching while waiting for us to get registered. Eliot tried his hand at it and both boys selected their own yarn and feathers. Peter felt right at home in the wigwam. At one of the spile...

The Can-Am Youngs: Birthday Boys
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2015/03/birthday-boys.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. This weekend Eliot and Peter had a joint birthday party. They each invited friends from their classes. Four of Eliot's friends were able to attend, and four of Peter's friends were able to attend, so it actually worked out perfectly. It was so fun to watch the boys socializing with their little friends. Eliot was clearly in his element, surrounded by his friends. Each boy had his own cake with candles to blow out. The cakes were also topped with Mighty Machines. Later, while hangi...

The Can-Am Youngs: August 2014
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 23, 2014. Baking cookies with Chef Eliot. Eliot wrapped the "cookies" in wax paper and then asked me to write numbers along the side of a scrap of paper that he'd glued on. It wasn't until he asked me re-write them with a different orientation that I realized he was making a bar code. Developing his brand. A package of These Are Cookies (guaranteed to make one happy) all wrapped up and ready to go! Wednesday, August 20, 2014. And a nice little beach area. Sunday, August 17, 2014. Last mo...

The Can-Am Youngs: Terry Andre
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2015/05/terry-andre.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. Both boys were thrilled to find themselves back on a beach. They knew exactly what to do. We stopped along our walk to have a ramble up the sand dunes and the boys burned off a lot of energy climbing up and rolling down the other side. This picture was taken from the top of a pretty steep sand dune. The boys had a great time running/tumbling/rolling all the way to the bottom. Both Eliot and Peter were very impressed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome friends and family!

The Can-Am Youngs: April 2015
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. This year we experimented with natural dyes for our Easter eggs. The boys were very happy with the results. When Peter saw these coming out of the oven he said, "Are those hot cross buns? Just like in Perth! After breakfast is was time to get down to business. The Easter Bunny had hidden eggs all throughout the living room. Eliot had his gathered up in no time! Peter called out each item he found in his treat bag. Both boys were delighted. Then the hunt was on! The stories that d...

The Can-Am Youngs: July 2014
http://can-amyoungs.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. How the boys are going. Before any story begins. Enjoying a little artsy afternoon on a rainy day. Eliot has been learning about primary and secondary colours in school and they were having a good time mixing the colours to see what they could make. Peter has been introduced to the fun of a "close shave.". Eliot, always the attentive big brother, was delighted to show Peter how it's done. Peter thought the whole thing was unspeakably hilarious. Sunday, July 6, 2014. Take the time a...
