Character Day and Family Night

Some of our ornaments


Micah and I had Character Day at school on Thursday and let's just say we represented the Reimer name well. Micah went with Josh and Ethan as the 3 Blind Mice and they won for their Grade. I went as the Paper Bag Princess, and yes I wore a paper bag, and won for the Teachers. Too bad there are no pictures of me :) I had a blonde wig on and painted dirt all over my arms and legs.
For our family night we made tree ornaments and we had trouble getting Hope to stop for it involved paint, glitter, and beads.

Just like her Mom

Hope decided that she wanted to go for a run last night. She put on all of my gear, not sure why she insisted on wearing my bike helmet. I probably should wear my bike helmet when I run for I can be a wee bit clumsy :) It won't be long until we can run together!

Hope's First Dentist Visit

I do not know if we can actually say Hope saw the dentist today. She has been nervous about this appointment for awhile. We had lots of tears in the morning leading up to the visit and when it was time to leave for the appointment. She sat in the room while I (Sue) had my teeth cleaned with little tears streaming down her cheeks, it was really sad. When it was time for her to go on the chair she had a total break-down. The dentist was able to get her to open her mouth for 2 seconds and that was it. So, the dentist said to come back in 6 months and we will try again, YEAH :(

Micah is heading off this afternoon so they will notice a night and day difference between our kids. Hope did not even utter a word the whole hour we were there and chatter-box Micah will ask a million questions and not stop talking. It might take them the rest of the afternoon to clean his teeth for he won't stop talking :) Gotta love our kids!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY!!

I thought I would wish you happy birthday on the blog, Dad/ Kenny/ Santa. As I was thinking about your birthday, it brought me back to when I was a teenager and would call and ask you for everything. If it was a cold winter night and the Buick would not start, I did not use the AMA card you gave me, but woke you up to come and give me a boost. If I needed gas in my car or for it to be washed, you always did that for me so I would not have to worry (but we both know I am terrible at washing vehicles!! and I almost filled our car with Diesel instead of gas, so maybe you did not trust me and that was why, hmmm) . I could count on you to help me or have the answer and now that we live almost 800km apart a lot of the time you are still my go-to guy. Who do I call when I have no idea how to cook a roast without my crock-pot? or my soup is too thick, or with my lack of gardening skills. I always pick up the phone and give you a call (maybe Micah does get his endless question asking from me...). Thanks for always being there, Dad and here is to another year of endless questions from your pesky daughter.
LOVE YOU LOTS!!
