West Edmonton Mall

Mom watched little Bella Boo while we took Kailey to the big mall!!!!  No doubt- the Sea Lion show was the hightlite of that adventure.  We waited in line so we would get some great seats...we got front row in the center!!!  We were so close we could smell the critters - smells like Omega 3 capsules - BUT ON A MASSIVE SCALE!!  She was nervous to get a kiss from one of them, but I knew she would love the picture keepsake.  (it is up in her room on the same shelf as her Disneyland Fairy picture so you know it is important to her!).  When we got back from WEM Momma watched both kids so Jack and I could go see a show in a real theatre - like on a real date or something.....wow!  That was AWESOME!!!  great time.

 we were there for the shark feeding so that was an awsome display.

Beaners first then Fort Edmonton Park

 Kailey getting her first haircut at Beaners.  Awesome day.  Met up with Heather and the kids and Lana and Kailey got new do's and then we went for lunch together.  So much fun.

 Lana modelling her new do...adorable!!!!

 Fort Edmonton is one of my most favorite places to go and it was even better this time as this was Jacks first time there!!!  We all loved it.  Ella wanted more freedom and when she got it....LOOK OUT - ran everywhere.  She loved it.  Kailey was like a sponge asking so many questions.  Her favorite part and where we spent the most time was in the the old Dr. Office/house. 

 in a tee pee - had to do some quick explaining as to why there were animal skins hanging up...yikes. 

 Ella's first time on a Carousal.  She loved it.

 on the run saying - whoa whoa...

what I thought she would want to do...nope - she wanted a horse!

 a kiss from a Sealion at West Edmonton Mall... one of the many highlites of the trip. - Again, had this huge post with pictures and it crashed a week or so ago.

we babysat these 2 little boys for a night...WOW...the kids had a ball but I will be honest - tubes tied=a good thing. lol

Kindergarten

I had this massive post all done up about Kailey's first day and a bunch of other stuff and blogger crashed...not the first time this has happened to me.  I am not typing it all out again....I am so sick of this site - that is why my posts have greatly dwindled. grrrrrr

Kailey's pre-screen for Kindergarten was Tuesday morning and she was a little anxious when we walked up to the school, but soon she was more than happy to look around her AMAZING classroom and talking with her teacher, Mrs. Walters.  What a nice lady...very kind.  I left her there and picked her up in an hour and I could hear Kailey talking her ear off about Willy Wonka and what a bad nut that Veruca Salt was...hahaha.  We dropped off her supplies and got a tour.  She starts on Tuesday with half of  the kids and then she gets Wednesday off and then Thursday is her first full day with everyone.  She is very very excited.  I know we made the right choice putting her in Holy Cross.  What a great school.  Lots of technology.  Her kindergarten class has 2 smart boards and laptop stations!!!  gulp - what happened to my bald baby with the curly little yamaka?

 This is the outfit she picked out!!  The little boy was all eyes when she walked into the room.

 this is her - 'I'm nervous' face.

 one of her back to school outfits she picked out - skinny jeans....love them!

oh and she now does her own hair apparently...hand cream, clips and a feather band...lovely.  I think she thought the hand cream was like Gel or something. 

Jurassic Forest - Awesome Time!!!
