Welcome Possums to the Ropars family innovation for 2007!!


That's right, Mama's got her blog thing going on.....I have always constructed journals for Zak and Theo. These journals were daily records until they turned 1 and then monthly from then onwards. Full of photos, commentary and mail, the boys love to read them over to see themselves and all of you together in various places and ways. However, we thought that given the reception of Zakary's Chronicles, we would update the journals and publish a seasonal blog so everyone could see what we have been getting upto as well as see how the boys are faring. Like the journals, I will post commentary and photos, but as always, all our videos and other photo albums can be found on Yann's website - www.imageevent.com/yann. We hope you will continue to visit the blog as well as the photo website as time and the boys march onwards......Love to you all, and peace...... YKZT.

October Chronicles....it's pumpkin time !!

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSS...it's pumpkin time and we know what that means, don't we kiddies?

It means we get to go to the farm and pick out pumpkins that weigh more than we do so Mama has to carry them for ourselves, ....and.... we get ones that can fit in the palm of Mama's hands for her!!.... It also means that our choices of costumes vary daily from pigs, bears, birds, frogs, to cows and then to cats.... Mama is thinking Goldilocks and the 3 bears right now and is wondering where she put that website with all the DIY costumes on it!

Theo is growing more teeth and beginning to expand the jumping repertoire. The red sofa and Mama and Dada's bed are taking a beating as Zak and Theo try out their freestylin'.....Yoga has also picked up of late with Zak excelling at trees, dogs and bridges and trying on the fish.... Theo ends up rolling around a lot, there's not much yoga to be done when you are wearing a supernappy at night! But we are working on it!!

In the end, the kids end up dressed as Thomas the Tank Engine - both of them and Theo is quick on the draw with the doorbell while Zak waits in ambush in the garden. At first Theo was a bit leery but once he realized there were sweets involved he was all over it..... waiting for the first snow now......

The first snow arrived on the 21st much to Zak's initial wonder and then when he realized it was gone in an hour, dismay, causing the questions 'when is the big snow coming Mama?'...but he has his new jacket and 'nice snowpants' so he is ready and waiting.....Theo just hopes it is not cold....

Theo's best friend at school is 'onri' (Henry) and they even managed a train for a car swap last week. There is never a day when Mama picks up Theo that there is a not a story of what Theo and Onri got upto that day. This often involves wrestling...

Zak and Theo are now completely down with the 'fete de pyjama' that they go to every second Friday so Mama and Dada can have date night at Theo's school. Onri goes as well so now they have become a trio.

We tried to make a gigantic spider with our leaf bags but that silliness was nipped in the bud when Zak and Theo began to use the bags as launching and falling pads causing leaves and limbs to go in all directions....maybe next year....:)
