Getting packed up...
Today is Sunday. Laundry Day. Grocery Day. Fill Up The Car Day. And.....Packing Day!! We are getting ready for our Ottawa adventure with our good friends Aimee and Jason and their 3 kids, as well we are going to see my cousin Barb and Cam's aunties Sharon and Susan.
I have a bit of quiet time here before the day really starts as after a pancake breakfast with blackberries and cantaloupe, Cam and Chance have gone to a friend's house to feed the dog & let him out -- our friend went to Vegas. Chance just loves playing with Ringo, although we have to be more careful as last night he was throwing a ball for Ringo and then after a few tosses he ran over to the corner of the yard, picked something up, and brought it to us proudly, as if he was trying to say "Look what I found!!". It was a dried up dog turd, yuck. So, that ended last night's fetch session, everyone was hustled inside and there was some vigorous hand washing. Ew.
Last night we also went to the library and picked up some books on kids construction projects and kids bedroom decoration ideas. This fall will be the project of getting Chance's big boy bedroom in order, as well I would like to paint the office, hopefully a kid-friendly-but-neutral colour just in case Chance ever moves in here and the nursery resumes it's former role as a guest room, or maybe one day a bedroom for another baby. And if Chance never moves out of that room then the office will at least have a much needed new coat of paint.
Well, I am done my coffee and should get in the shower so I can get ready to go out and do our errands. I don't really think we need much for groceries, but we do need gas for the car, and laundry still needs to be done. This afternoon while Chance naps, Cam and I are going to put a second and final coat of stain on our north gate. We did 2 coats on the deck yesterday and one on the gate. The south gate remains unstained, a project for when we get back from holidays!
Chance's latest words:
SHOWER
CAMPER
TATTOO
TANKET (blanket)
TOOER (soother)
CHANCE
POOP (yes, he will tell you when he's gone #2 now)
I'M TIRED (I didn't hear this, but Daddy and Uncle Paul did)
GOERT (yogurt)
COFFEE
CHEERS (he learned this in July, I just forgot to write about it). He likes to clink glasses, like 10 times per meal. On our camping trip he cheersed with Auntie Jen's coffee cup and Auntie Jen wasn't ready for it, she ended up with a big coffee stain on her only pair of jeans for the weekend and Chance landed himself in a lawn chair to think about what he had done. When he came out he gave kisses and hugs to both Mommy and Auntie Jen).

July Catch Up
July has gone by so quickly for us. Here is a look at some of what has been going on:
Heiritage Park - We spent a fun morning spent eating pancakes, almost getting sick on the ferris wheel and taking a train ride on a real steam train.
Stampede - Chance got his first pair of cowboy boots. They were fairly reasonably priced for very good quality boots. They are easy to get on and off (they zip) and Chance walks well in them (sneaker bottoms). I figure Chance can wear them for through the fall and spring of next year.
Kitchen Rearrange - The "train" shown here is something that you see on a regular basis in our house. Chance does it with all kinds of things, shampoo bottles in the bathroom, the remote controls, books, coasters, etc. What you don't see in our kitchen these days is the highchair (seen in the background). I tore it down and shoved it into storage as Chance largely eats his meals with us at the table now. Sometimes (only sometimes), he gets to eat his snack on the couch.
Goodbye - We said so long to our good friends the Drovers. They are moving home to Nova Scotia to new jobs, a new house, and maybe even a new family member in the near future. They will be missed.
New Words:
Montney
Leduc
Kiskatanaw
(Yes, Daddy was teaching him some geology!)

The Great Pretender
Chance has been playing pretending games a lot lately.
* pretending to make cookies from dried dirt and then pretending to eat them.
* pretending to drink and burp afterwards (Mommy taught him that one).
* pretending to hammer things. I see a toy construction set in the future.
New words:
BOOTS
MOMMY (instead of MAMA)
DADDY (instead of DADA)
TRACTOR
TRAIN
PLANE
BIKE
PHONE
TV
TV-CARS (this means "I want to watch Cars on TV")
GRAMPA (GRABBA)
GRAMMA (MAH-MUH, as opposed to MAMA)
OK (repeats this after Mommy does)
PRETTY
BELT
PUTTY (PUPPY)
FLOWERS
