Outdoor Fun in the Snow






Before the weather got out of control FREEZING the kids had some fun play time out in the snow. Good times... Kyleigh was making snow angels, snow princesses and snow white. Tyler was doing God only knows face down in the snow with Kyleigh jumping on his back. Little sisters are wonderful! They had a great time enjoying some outdoor play, exercise and fresh air.


Tyler's Lego Interest







Within the last year or so, but it has begun to pick up within the last 6 months. He first started out building Bionicles and it went to the Star Wars and Mars Mission collections this past summer. A bit of a pricier hobby of his, but talk about challenging him. He puts them together with no help. Reads all the directions and trial and error puts them all together. It is an awesome challenge and perhaps peeking an interest in architecture? Building? Who knows? But to see him so excited while he is completing a new project or has figured out what he was doing wrong is GREAT! He is now interested into starting projects that have motors and more moving parts. Here is a sampling of the work he has done. Majority of which was done since Christmas. Obviously the gift of choice this year!


Our Night of Decorating Homemade Ornaments






We spent an afternoon and evening making homemade ornaments this year. What a great time with the kids. Tyler help me make the dough and he did all the rolling out and cutting out of the cookies before we baked them. Then we all took time to colour and decorate them together. It was a great time. Here are some pics of our ornaments.

Our Pumpkin Farm Field Trip






I'm playing catch up on my blogging. We went to our local pumpkin farm back in late October. Kids had a blast sliding on the HUGE slides, a nice hayride and pumpkin tossing. Good times were had by all. Including Kyleigh and I attempting to bury Tyler in the popcorn box. Here are some pics from our fall blast!
