"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2014"


Loik : Loving this cat
Baby # 4 : Healthy baby boy coming in september
Saule : Just happy being outside
Miko : Playing in the water

We're so glad that everything is ok with baby # 4. Having another boy is scary, (just because my boys fight a lot) but they're really happy about having a brother. Saule really wanted a baby girl, but You Know I can't change anything about that, hehe. So we're just getting ready for this child, buying second hand stuff, clearing out toys and enjoying spring.

HI.
I didn't post about Finding inner peace with three kids at home on monday. Sorry. I have been busy with the kids and I can't seem to find a lot of time writing this week.
I actually need a week or two to just be in the moment with my family to get ready for school, yoga and everything that starts in september. I know that even if people don't really comment on my blog, I do have SOME readers that care. Haha!
So, yes. I'll see you later this week for some updates.

Thanks.

Blueberry picking.

Last week we went blueberry picking with the kids and some friends.
It was great ! Loik picked a hole lot of them. He actually picked a full basket by himself. He's such a trooper this kid.
The place is called ''Aux fin délice'' close to where my parents live. The blueberries are really good and the kids really enjoy eating and picking ;)
Here is a couple pictures of our day :

Enjoy your day ! Thanks for stopping by.
I will have a giveaway pretty soon of two really rad dress' that I have. I will keep you posted !

This week.

 I haven't been posting all that much this week, but summertime is busy and I don't have the energy to type at the end of the day. How do you bloggers do it ?
Anyways. we had a great week ! Me and Phil got a big break from the kids : 2 nights just the two of us. It was the first time since we have kids that we got out that long. We spent the day in Montreal, just walking and did a little shopping... We even went to the movies DURING THE DAY ! Star Trek rules by the way.
The next day we spent one night at a Spa in St-Côme. We drove 2h30 and listened to music really loud ! We laughed, sang and we're just being stupid. It was cool, we felt so free ! We really relaxed at the spa... No diapers to change, no fighting, no yelling, no "mommy I don't like your supper" or "I don't want to get dressed".  My kids we're pretty good with their babysitters, so it's less stressful to leave them. Thanks Alison and Cilia for watching the little one's,  we really appreciate it :)
The only thing is... Phil's back isn't doing good. We treated ourselves with a massage. It felt so good ! But since Phil has back problems, it got even worse. So I'm back to living with a crippled. I hope that he will get well soon because it looks very painful... and you know, I'm alone taking care of the kids.
I snapped some pictures from this week. I didn't take many, oops.

Phil's new hair.

Relaxing.

Still relaxing... ? Haha!

Reading in the park.

A mother's life + stripes and catching butterflies.

My life is mainly taking care of my kids full time and you know how they can be : they fight, they yell A LOT and my younger one seems too be very out of control at times. I know that we have some really good days and some kids aren't always fighting like mine, but as a mother I do raise my voice, I do put my kids in their room and I do "lose it" sometimes.
I am a stay-at-home mother, I'm not ready to work or study just yet, but I am very anxious that one of them will start school and the other one will start (part time) pre-school. I think that my kids are tired of being together all the time and they need a big break from each other.
We're planning a special 3 days without the kids soon and I really hope that my friends and family will be supportive about it. We need time as a couple for more than a couple of hours, you know ?
We will be needing babysitters, but we can't afford to pay someone for 3 days.
Thanks for your support :)

On another note, we went catching butter flies this morning. It wasn't any success, but Loik did like spying on them. Miko cried most of the time and Saule had some fun, but was getting bit by 
 mosquitoes. Loik and Saule are dressed in stripes. I think it's pretty cute. Oh and Saule looks likes she's dressed to go play tennis. Funny.

She found a map ball.

Searching for butterflies

I love this picture of her.

Still searching...

In a very bad mood.

Crying.

"Oh, I'm ok now"

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Talking with nature

I have been taking alot of pictures of the kids playing outside. They just love finding rocks, touching leaves and discovering nature.
 I guess it's kind of a "nature school" kinda thing, but we really let them play and touch as much as they want.
Summer is really close and I'm getting excited.
Enjoy the pictures as much as we had fun exploring !

I love my kids.
