We had a beautiful, gorgeous spring and summer. The spring was surprising not bad for the terrible long brutal winter we endured. We started some DIY projects..I have so wanted a backyard deck for the longest time and this year I was rewarded for my patience. We asked around for quotes and got some ridiculous prices..seriously? 10K for a few days of work?..anyways, we decided on DIY project, basic and simple. How naive we were...the project took all of 10 weeks as we had to undo and redo until my husband thought it was perfect. We celebrated Kimberly's 5th birthday on our deck. FINALLY!!. We had a kiddies party which started at 2:00 p.m where we all walked a few minutes to a small wading pool just behind our house. The weather couldn't be better..it was a hot day and kids squealed and splashed water on one another, tagging and chasing each other while we moms sat beneath the shade of a nice big Willow tree and chatted. We came home to Dominos Pizza for the kids, spanakopita rolls, greek cheese rolls, I think it is called Tyrokopita and juice. We also had home made Guacamole with tortilla chips and hot cheese dip for the adults. For the adults, which included my childhood friends and cousins, we had Grilled lamb chops, Kababs, Tandoori Chicken (courtesy Lancy Pais) and Bean Salad. Anyways, the highlight was the Castle Cake I made for Kimberly's birthday. Recipe and pictures coming soon.
Yohann's 10th Birthday, we celebrated at 'The Ex'..It was Thursday, August 28th. This is a 3 week event that comes to Toronto every year and a must-do for Torontonians...lots of fried food, rides, and shows. We watched the Wallenda Family tight-rope show which was AMAZING!. We sat and watched, not daring to breath or swallow lest the legendary Wallendas fall off...We watched the Dog Show too which was cute but uneventful. The kids loved it and took a lot of coaxing to finally leave...I had a throbbing headache and couldn't wait to get out..Fairs are not my thing, but we do these things for our kids and that is why precisely I am writing it here, so nobody forgets :-). On his actual birthday, we had a small dinner for family. I tried Greek ribs which was a completed flop. We had Peking Duck which was awesome.
Kyren's 13th birthday sadly was uneventful.. He did not want to do anything and we were very busy with our DIY deck project, that we were relieved..but my darling sisters did come home in the evening with presents and I think we ordered food in.
The highlights of summer was we did a 12 Km bike ride at the Don Valley Parkway. We parked at the Ontario Science Centre and rode upto Pottery road and back. Kimberly was being bike-carried (is that a word even?) by Keith and it was kind of strenous (which he does not admit to) as the DVP has some hills. We also went to Balsam Lake for camping this year with the group (my sisters, my cuzz, our friends). All in all it was a great summer. This is the year that we went out on date nights (prefer to call it fun nights). I am proud to put it in writing, I have wonderful and responsible kids. They encourage us to go out alone and they take care of Kim, reading her a bedtime story, tucking her into bed and staying by her bedside till she falls asleep.
Thanksgiving 2014, we went to Ottawa to celebrate the holiday with my cuzz and her family. My sisters and their families drove up too. It was beautiful as expected. Everyone talking at the same time and no one listening. We also left 10 kids at home unsupervised and went for drinks at Kelsey's.The neighbours did come and ask us to tone it down a bit...
As we head into Winter, I give thanks for my family, my friends and all the abundance of love that we have in our lives. If this is not blessings, what is?

Summer-Fall 2012
Almost the end of our fantabulous summer!!..reflecting back on this season, I realize that it has been different from all the other summers we have enjoyed in Canada. This year we enjoyed it in a different way. We mostly stuck around and had tons of fun enjoying our neighborhood. I enjoyed walking hand in hand with Kimberly late evenings after our meals, enjoying and savoring the cool evening breeze and stopping to chat with neighbors sitting on their porches or doing garden work or just hanging out. Sometimes, the boys would join. Most afternoons and evenings were spent with neighborhood kids at the pool. Every year we go to festivals, street parties and functions downtown but this year, we did some but not as many as we usually go to. Summer came to us. Even on scorching hot days, I worked in my garden, thanking the sun for providing us with energy and means for plants to make food for themselves.
Yohann`s birthday was spent at Canada`s wonderland. the pics capture the fun..no words needed.
Last weekend we went to my darling sister`s birthday. They had decorated their backyard with festive lights. together with the ambience, our friends and the sumptious food, there was no better place in the world to be at that time. My contribution to the party was shortbread pastry cups with a cream filling.
I did my first 5K at Toronto Islands in 32 minutes. Crossing the finish line breathless with excitement, with family there to cheer me, was the highlight of my summer. The kids also participated in the 1k race and came in 4th and 5th. I am so proud of them. We enjoyed a family bbq and spent the rest of the day at the island.
Thanksgiving.
We had a great Thanksgiving in my Reina's house. She made the most perfect turkey. and we had even more reason to give thanks when our close freind announced that she is expecting...Yippppppeeeee, we all screamed..more chaos and more noise at our parties. She wanted to make a big announcement, but it all came tumbling out of her mouth like this:
ME: Dan, what are wearing? your blouse looks kind of interesting, can you take off your wrap?
DAN: Oh well, ok..it's just a ruffle blouse.
ME: I love your pants too...I have the same one..where did you get yours from?
JARON: I think her pants look too big for her..at least two sizes too big..looks like you are hiding something.
DAN: Yes, you will find out soon!
JUNE: OH! are you pregnant,,,
DAN! YES..HOW DID YOU GUESS??
ALL OF US GROAN..OH WELL..
We had tons of fun...Gangam style dance competition for the kids, where the judges (June and Dan) declared that all of them were winners and they got $5 each...the talent competition, where Danielle sang a song from 'One direction' and Hayley sang ; yellow rose of texas with help from mommy.
We had roast turkey and Duchess potatoes, which looked really fabulous,,I wish I had taken pictures. Giselle made some awesome roasted veggies (Parsnips, sweet potatoes, asparagus and brusells sprouts) and Moroccan couscous. My contribution was crispy fried tofu squares and spicy satay sauce. I also made mini cheesecakes with homemade Blueberry sauce.
Cheers Summer, see you next year, same time, same place, Adios my friend!!

Autumn 2011
Autumn Hikes
We went to the Rouge Valley Park in October...ooohh the most scenic hike we have been to so far..just thinking about it gives me goosebumps...so pristine and clean and beautiful..georgeus colours. the smell of the woods, the winding trails..it was awesome!!...we also did the Colonel Danforth trail in November which had its own charm. Here are some pics from the Rouge Valley Hike
Autumn Hike through Rouge Valley Park
Kimberly fell asleep half way through and although it was raining and raindrops were decorating her angel face, she was sound asleep.
KIMBERLY
Kim is 2 years old...and she is becoming more cute with every passing moment...In the night, when she cries either because she is too cold from sharing her blanket with Kipu, teddy or kelly (how good natured she is, wanting to make sure her cuddly's are warm). or sometimes she just has a bad dream and says 'tap you mama, tap you'..she wants me to just pat her back to sleep..when tears stream out, she yells 'eyes coming out' eyes coming out..when I wipe her tears and ask her 'now ok baby'?..and she replies 'eyes over' eyes over'...it means all good. she says 'over' when she doesn't want to discuss something..I'll say 'c'mon now finish your food'...and she responds..'food over'. I just wanted to put this down so I don't forget..my boys did a lot of unforgettable cute things but blogger wasn't around for me to record..she also sings and dances to 'move like Jagger' by Maroon Five and Bruno Mars 'lazy' song. she turns and twists her two year old body vigorously..dancing with abandon when coupled with obliviousness is super cute in children, I don;t think we would react the same way if an adult moved their body like that..need to introduce her to some good dance videos...She LOVES LMFAO..and gets all excited as their songs come on (party anthem, sexy and i know it and Yes)..She loves loves loves her papa. Here is a pic of them together.
HALLOWEEN
And how could I end this post without mentioning Halloween? The boys get soooooo excited before Halloween, all the time discussing what is really spooky!! and costumes! Joshua's house as usual was just awesomely spooky with sound and lighting effect..it does help that they have overgrown trees in their front yard along with a winding pathway to their doorstep. Kim was frightened and I jumped out of my skin and yelled when I turned around to a tap on my shoulder to face a witch. I screamed! but it was only Anna. Yohann dressed as a military soldier, Kyren went as Grim Reaper and Kim as a panda. Here are some pics

Summer 2011-Ky/Kim/Yo bday and everything in between
The Party month
I'll start with Kim's bday..our angel turned 2 this month. every day, she is becoming more interesting, developing her unique self. tears are welling up in my eyes even as I write this..keith is making meatloaf, he just finished bread and butter pudding, kY is giving Kim a ride on his shoulders and yohann is exhausted from the weekend's activities, he is just lying around watching all the action.
On Friday eve. we went to Connie's mom's bday. We took a 'hummingbird cake'. We got back at 12:30 a.m. the next morning (Sat) was Yohann's closing ceremony for baseball. They had a game, followed by pizza and sundae's (the children got to help themselves to toppings). It was a semi-hot day, so i took off kim's boyfreind jeans and let her wade in the water, the shrieks of delight did not escape the other children and soon everyone was rolling up their pants and moving into the cool water. Then there was the highlight of the ceremony, the trophy, that each child collected and a very sturdy bag + a photograph of the team. In the evening we went to Ayesha's son;s second bday and we got back at 1 a.m. They had a chocolate tuxedo cake which was out-of-this world and fodder for my next cake.
Last week on Saturday and Sunday we went hiking and cycling to Wilket Creek Park. that is my favourite part of summer..walking in the woods, the silence and the smell of the woods just transport me away from our activity centred lives..i absolutely love it..even today, it is overcast and i cannot stop wanting to go for a long drive outside the city and and hitting the trails..
We couldn't let the weekend pass without indulging our most favourite activity so off we went to Edward Gardens for a picnic supper. There was a thunderstorm just before so it was overcast and overwhemingly beautiful..Anways, we packed our meatloaf s/wiches and bread pudding and went to enjoy the beautiful evening..The smell from the woods was haunting...beautiful woody musky smell..I went with the boys for a short walk and we discovered yet another amazing part that we hadn't been to before. It was so silent and quite and you could hear only the cricket sounds, Anyways, we were all alone and it was densely wooded. I said, "I hope there are no panthers or foxes around hoping to incite even more excitement in the boys. they turned and looked at me as though I was crazy. Kyren said 'mom, we are in the wooded areas of the park'..it is a park not really a forest. I replied 'still you never know'..yohann and ky looked at each other as though I was totally kookoo..they were like o.K whatever. Anyways when we were heading back to Keith, i tried again 'let's get out before it get's dark, if we are lost, we will need to spend the night here' hoping to at least to spook Yohann. but he said 'don't worry, I know the way back, follow me!!..they really have no sense of adventure. Maybe next year I will try with Kim.
So, to get back to Kim's bday. A few of our freinds and ever-growing family joined us. Wendy was the first to arrive at 2p.m followed by Reina. We took the kids to the wading pool. they had such a blast, refusing to come out even as the water was draining on them. after that, we went to the play area..the younger kids played on the slides, swings and other equipment. at around 5 pm, we headed home. Keith got lovely hot kebabs going and everyone ravenous from all the activity, enjoyed them. mum/dad/ connie's parents and giselle and family came in. June/ lancy came later. June/Lancy brought ribs and pasta bake for the kids. Connie's mom made meatloaf and tongue. mummy made chicken sukka and rice. keith made kebabs and bread pudding. I made jerk bbq chicken/ apple coleslaw and the cake. Vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting.
Ky's bday
The boys all turned up at around 2p.m (Zac/Jayden/Joshua/Jeremy/Adrien/Hayley/Nicole/Ben/Gracie.) Jayden had a new ipod..apparently the latest, so all the young fellas took turns in checking it out and playing. they also played some WII games. At 4p.m we headed to the pool. The boys as expected had a blast. they came back home at 5:15. had a quick bite of assorted pizza and salad.
We cut the cake. Chocolate cake with white chocolate/butter scotch chips frosting. The boys then headed out for a movie 'Captain America' which just opened on the D-DAY. they came back home at 9:30 and some of them stayed on till 12:00 am. (Zac and Jayden).
So that's all for now..I will updating with Yohann's bday details..later this week.

Yohann's 2nd recital/ Kyren at Cory's bday
Yohann has started T-Ball..we go to the park every Tuesday to join in the game. On thursday,s he goes to practice. Summer is so hectic, it is like one big party..by the end of summer, i am secretly glad it's over and we can rest a bit...He is also learing the piano...recently we went to his recital..He was the youngest player. Being the youngest, he was to go first, and that made him nervous but did not stop him from playing his absolute best. we were so proud of him. Kim kept hollering 'Yoyaaan yoyannn der', so i had to take her out. since it was held in a librabry (the coxwell library is so fabulous. that should be the standard for all libraries..i wish..sigh)..they had a space for under 5 years complete with cute color coded keyboard and computers and loads of space for them to run around. kim had blast banging her lil fingers on the key board!!. I was half expecting someone to come up and say 'shhhhhhhh' but no, all we go is "so cute"..phew!!
Things have been hectic at home...kim automatically says no for everything (before you can even ask)..she'll just look at my face and say 'no'..she knows where the boys hide their candy..she'll help herself to some (esp the sour candy) and enjoy them. If they catch her, she'll just yell 'noooooooo' so loudly, that Keith or myself will tell the boys to back off before they have had a chance to explain the situation..
I am reading the 'clan of the cave bear'..i just love that series...kyren is so into reading too..we went to the library on Saturday and he picked up a bunch of mystery novels...He had gone for his freinds pool party on Yohann's recital day...Later in the evening, after the recital, when we went to pick him up i wished i was ten again..the boys (and a girl) had a blast..they had water guns fights, swimming competitions..of course ky was still learning but he's not the one to back out of something because he hasn't yet mastered the skill..so like his mommy ..ready to take on challenges..if she is not tired that is.
I finished my cake decorating course at which I had a blast. I had so much fun being creative. I made a hot pink cake with roses..it didn't come out the way i expected..but still..still hot :-)..i am smitten by this cake decorating bug..i've fallen hook line and sinker..i love it..let;s see for how long though..knowing me, i will fall in love with something else next week..and cake deco might just be yawn yawn zzzzzzzzz.

Yesterday was Kyren and Yohann's musical concert. Kyren and his class sang two songs from Lion King (I just can't wait to be king and can you feel the love tonight). When Kyren was in line waiting to get on stage, Kim kept yelling, "kyn cum yer, kyn cum yr"..and she kept turning her head and pointing to the empty seat next to us...
Yohann and kyren had a brotherly dispute just before leaving (over gum!!) and Yohann refused to go to the concert (whats new?-he knows when to pull the plug). Keith and myself ofcourse resorted finally to threatening coz we were were afraid this boy was derailing our plan to reach on time. we went 'i'm going to call the police and let them know you are at home alone' ..no response to the threat...then i pretended to call his teacher to complain 'Yohann does not want to go to the concert'..i spoke in a loud voice because i wanted him to overhear..but he yelled back ' I don't care'...then finally exasperated and tired, i said ok don't go onto the stage but let's go to the concert because we cannot leave you at home alone. so he finally agreed. he wore a white shirt and black pants (concert ready, but not willing to go on stage). so off we went. He seemed in a good mood in the car. because i did not know how to activate the video function on the camera i handed it to him, gosh i feel old, he was very excited and started taking pictures and zooming in to take kyren's picture (although i don't know why he did that, he can see kyren personally every day)..anyways, all is good and my darling kim yelling..kyn cum yr..Kyrens' program got over and then it was his class that was lining up to go onto the stage, as were crawling along, i was nudging him 'go yohann, go, go'...he was rocking on heels back and forth, not sure what to do..i shoved him in the front and called out to his teacher Mrs Godfrey and she was all smiles "yohann come come'..so he had no choice but to relent...

October 3, Sunday
i've decided to write every month about the highs and lows of the month gone by..so here goes

contd on Oct 14th
Our days are so packed with activity. Kyren has a freind coming over almost every other day. Jaden's coming over on thursday, Oct 15. He has a new baby brother called Carter Angel.

Kim is walking around bossing everyone...I love the expression on her face when I walk in the door in the evenings. she burst into the broadest smile, with her hair all over her face, tripping over her own toes in her rush to get to me and keeps yelling 'Hiiiiiiii' Hiiiiiii...she is absolutely adorable..no doubt she will be someone in this world to reckon with...all of my children are talented, intelligent and will be people this world will look up to and respect. I love them and I love being a mom and wife..keith is undoubtedly the best father and husband on this planet and anywhere else in our galaxy.....of course there are days that I want to clobber him on the head...but for most part he is my soulmate.
We are trying to go vegetarian and are experimenting with lots of cuisines..my fav is Indian style veggies..u don't feel the need for meat.
I am posting a link to veg meals
