Married already!

Last night we went over to the Koeller's for dinner; Geoff and Jodi are dear friends of ours and the kids, who are close in age, really enjoy each other. Ewan and Anna have been buddies since they were babies and always come up with fun games to play. Well last night the adults and babies were sitting in the living room when those two wander in announcing "We're getting married!". We all laughed in surprise; Anna was wearing her sparkly earrings, princess shoes and a blanket around her shoulders, saying "Look at me". Ewan who was wearing Anna's pink watch showed us and described it as his wedding watch and with that they were off, shouting "C'mon, let's get married".
On the way home, Ewan brought it up again:

Ewan: Guess what, me and Anna got married
Me: Really, what happened at the wedding?
Ewan: Well, she wears a dress and we get married and we take a picture and then she's the Mummy and I'm the Daddy and I'm holding the baby.
Me: Wow, that was fast!
Ewan: Yeah

The happy couple!

Baking Day

Ewan loves to help me in the kitchen, especially if we're making something really yummy that he gets to eat later! We had some pears that needed to be used so we both put on our aprons and made a pear and blackberry crumble. Ewan was actually a good help, although he needed constant reminders not to put his fingers in the bowl!


This is what happens if you tell him to 'say cheese' at the camera, so unless you want an extremely cheesy grin it's best to catch him off guard.


Meanwhile......Anya was fast asleep in a very uncomfortable looking position, but she woke up happy so I guess she was OK.

Balloon Glow

We had a great time at the Forest Park Balloon Glow this year. We spent the evening with good friends, eating a picnic together and watching the balloons inflate. Then when it got dark we saw them glow as they lit up with fire and they looked so pretty. Ewan thought the balloons were really cool but his favourite part was the fireworks at the end, he had been waiting for them all night and was amazed by all the colours. The grand finale was a really loud explosion of fireworks for a couple of minutes and Ewan was just cracking up laughing, I guess it was pretty hilarious!

Rockstar!

Ewan has loved music since he was a baby and was thrilled when he received a guitar for his second birthday. He often entertains us with various instruments and songs and one of his favourite games is putting on his backpack, getting on his bike and going to the church building to 'lead worship'. I guess he thinks that is all Karl does when he goes to work and since Ewan wants to be just like him that's what he does too!
Here is a video of him singing his favourite song, 'Happy Day' which he claims to have written:

He often sings this at the top of his voice in public places, for example Target, and I have to wonder what people think!
