Happy Easter!

Day 304 - The girls were excited to run around and find all that the Easter bunny had left for them.  Such a nice day with the family. 

Fun at the park

Day 301 - The kiddies and I went to the park after supper tonight.  It's so nice to get out and have some fun with the nicer weather. 

Park

Day 299 - Adventures at the park!  It's chilly today, but that didn't stop us - there were slides to slide and swings to swing.  

Sugar Bush

** Photo taken by other as I forgot to take pictures.










Day 290 - Today was my Dad's 50th birthday!  We surprised him by getting Monkey out of the hospital on a day pass and going to the sugar bush.  Good food, a horse carriage ride and cake!  It was a good day.

Breakfast in bed

Day 234 - My birthday breakfast!  I got breakfast in bed made by my wonderful husband (and I had help eating it from my two beautiful girls).  A great start to the day.

Blanket forts

 

Day 229 - We made blanket forts today.  Too much fun - and static - was had by all.  I'm not sure who loved it more, me or the kids!

Scrapbooking

 

Day 225 - I went with a friend to another lady's house to scrapbook tonight.  I've been seriously slacking in my artistic areas lately.  I completed two pages for my wedding album (bringing the total to three pages - no worries, we've only been married almost a year and a half!).  I love the way this page turned out.  Makes me all warm and fuzzy about our wedding day all over again.  <3

Genius!

 

Day 209 - Today, my little 18 month old Baby Penguin picked up a lion animal and walked over and put it on the "L" circle on the zoo mat without any prompting from me.  I may have a budding genius on my hands!

Dave the Dinosaur

 

Day 201 - Along with a daycare comes a lot of colouring!  This is my second full page completed.  I feel so accomplished! 

First Day!

 

Day 200 - It's official!  My daycare is now open!  Today marks the first day in full operation.  Baby was home all day, Monkey got on and off the bus from our house and we had 2 little friends over to "play" all day!  Such a wonderful day at home with my babies.  <3

Pretzels

 

Day 199 - I found some recipes from cooking class in JUNIOR HIGH.  Man, I am getting old.  BUT!  These pretzels were awesome, so I decided to make them again.  I gave up on the traditional pretzel shape and went for this awkward looking - yet still wonderfully yummy - stick shape.  And then I ate 3!!  This is pre-baked...I'm afraid the baked ones didn't last long enough to get their photo taken.  ;)

Pretty girl

 

Day 198 - Monkey and I hang out while Baby naps.  I love our bonding time...she's getting so big!

A mouse named Ben

 

Day 195 - I coloured with the girls today.  A WHOLE page.  My first in years!!  Monkey and I named him Ben.

Almost done!

Day 193 - Renovations are almost complete!  So much hard work today.  My parents were over and helped out ALL day.  But the place looks great and my girls absolutely LOVE it. 

Happy New Year!

Day 191 - I'm beginning the year with a bang!  Today it was Monkey's room.  With her help (well her company anyways), we rearranged her room and sorted her closet.  Looks good!  Next I tackle Baby's room.  This will be the year we officially settle into our house...it's about time too, we moved here in 2009.

Off into the world

 

Day 189 - My postcards ready to go out for my Postcrossing!  I love getting these things in the mail.  Such a simple (and cheap!) way to get a little happiness.

Another Secret Santa

 

Day 183 - We had a Secret Santa at work.  I received a lovely blanket with penguins on it!  It's so comfy and warm.  Love it!!

Last Day!

 

Day 182 - It is Baby Penguin's last day at daycare today!  All the kids and providers are having a pajama day and a little party for Xmas.  She chose her monkey pajamas and I did her hair in pigtails (my little girl has HAIR!) and we decorated cards to give to the providers.  I hope she has an excellent last day!

Bath bubbles

 

Day 180 - Bath time fun!  Baby Penguin likes to swish around on her belly in the bubbles.  I love watching her splash and squeal with delight.  She's at such a fun age - everything is new and exciting!

Secret Santa

 Day 179 - I joined an online forum gift exchange this year.  People from all over the world are exchanging gifts with others they have never met.  Today, I got my Secret Santa gift!  I love it...I wonder why!
