This is Isaac eating his first hamburger. Last week we had our first BBQ! The snow was all gone and spring had sprung! (The irony is that we received about 10 cm today, but I refuse to talk about it!)
So, as I was saying... we had a great two days outside and we took some pics of the boyz at their table, wearing their sunglasses, etc and we thought we would share.
THE COOL DUDES!!!
The boys love flowers and went around looking for them. They found Snowdrops and purple, yellow and white crocus, which they proceeded to pick and either put on the back of their bike (Jonah) or put them in their pocket (Isaac). I have included a picture of the beginnings of a rhubarb patch.
They were stupified that the weather could get so warm and that the snow could melt so quickly. Amar spent some time raking the leaves and the boyz helped him. Here is a picture of the three of them in one shot.
You might notice that there is an old aluminum part of a screen door that we screwed onto our front gate. I have things around to remind me of my childhood in Newfoundland. This B was on the screen door at my grandparents' home in Pike's Arm, New World Island. As a child I visited them often and I remember being a little girl standing face to face to that B and I still remember the sounds of the door opening whenever we arrived at my grandparents. A pleasant memory for someone so far from home.
Getting back to our BBQ... They were very excited! Bike was the first and last word of the day for Jonah. Everytime we had to come in because it was raining, to eat or it was dark, he would scream blue murder for that bike! Oh well, it would last only about 10-15 minutes. That's why I decided to have a BBQ and eat outside - it was easier than dealing with the tantrum!
The other word I hear a lot these days is chocolate and I had to give it some thought. When they first arrived form China, the boyz didn't like chocolate or chocolate cake. They probably hadn't eaten it in China... All of a sudden, chocolate became very very interesting... and I can think of only one reason... Larry Boy. For those of you who know Veggie Tales, you might remember that Larry Boy's temptation was chocolate. They were watching it every night before bedtime... Instead of teaching them to resist temptation, the boyz have learned to give in to it! Too funny... Soon their English should be good enough to understand the moral of the tale... If not, Easter is just around the corner and we have chocolate hidden away!
