Home Improvements

We had our first home improvement here in Canada!
We  took out this patio door
 
 And added this beautiful sliding glass door.
 It wasn't that I didn't love the patio door, I did, I just didn't understand if you were going to use a door like that, why not make it a full french door so both doors opened up? Besides the new door came with a screen door that I could fix every time someone ran through it. I was not a fan of the melted crayons on the floor in front of the door either. Melted crayon on a hardwood floor is not the easiest thing in the world to clean up! The new door shouldn't allow enough heat in to warm up anything! The only downside is more window for the midgets to touch!

P/S, the light next to the door is new too!

Life's a Beach!

 This is Lake Simcoe. It is a huge lake about 20-30 minutes north of our house. Playing at the beach seems to help Connor over his fear of water. Before this, it was hard to get him in the swimming pool. The water was pretty shallow for a way's out, both kids were able to walk out for a ways.





South Simcoe Railway


Since both kids love trains, we found a train close to the house. It was a 50 minute train ride, and we were able to see more of where we live now.





 Connor loves Choo Choo Soul on Disney channel. He was asking about Genevieve.

 This is how 45 minutes of our train ride looked like, with both kids hanging out the window

 I swear we live out in the middle of nowhere!
