Snowy Forest Walk

Spot the snowball...coming right at me

Spot the snowball...going right at Immy! I didn't get the picture 5 seconds later where she was screaming hysterically!

And the snowball has hit David... a very happy Eli

Eli brought a book to sketch animal tracks!

Eli takes stick carrying to a whole new level!

This house is at the entrance...look at the slide coming off the deck! So fun!

Saturday afternoon

In the afternoon David took the kids to the park. I think they are the only ones loving all the snow as they get a ride on their sleds! It has snowed again overnight and still snowing now. Woo hoo loving Ontario!!

Me and my boy!

It's been more than a year probably since Eli and I last had time together just the two of us but today since we both felt better we went out for lunch and a little wander around chapters. I really enjoyed being able to focus on just him and chat to him and I know he loved it too. We need to do it much more often! Love my boy! X

Sickie boy

Got a little munchkin who isn't well at the moment :-(

Moments like this...

Make it all worth it! For all they fight they also play really, really well together. I wish you could hear the giggles in this photo! Immy was pretending to be a cat and Eli was stroking her face and the two of them were hysterical!

Bowling!

Today was a day off- family day - and a lovely -20 when we woke up so it was definitely not a day for being outside! Instead we went 'glow in the dark' bowling! It was lots of fun!

Love these curls!

Photos from this week

In no particular order - ELi is part of a lego challenge group. Each week they have a challenge and they  have to complete it. This week it had to be any kind of tool. Eli made two trucks that were both do the job a 'tool'. One is a digger for buried treasure and the other is a pusher to move the treasure once it's found!

The two of them are going through a Toy Story revival at the moment and Eli has taken to wearing David's old cowboy hat (a'la woody) all the time!

 

Ready and raring to go to soccer!

If they are not being Woody and Jessie they are Peter Pan and Tinkerbell! This is his Peter pose lol!

Immy stuck googly eyes on these pieces of paper and walked around holding them all day saying they were her googly people

Stick men

Immy sat down to colour a few days ago and she did these 'peoples' as she calls them. I was gobsmacked as literally until that minute she has never done anything other than scribble across the page!

My clever girl!

At 3.5 Immy has totally mastered the computer! She has started playing starfall which is an amazing phonics based games from preschool up to fluent reading level. I just started her on it last week and I thought she would need lots of help to play it but she is a pro and can navigate her way through it with no problems as well as use the mousepad, which I think can be tricky on the Mac for little hands!

Happy Birthday David and snowy weekend!

It's been a while since I've done a big photo post but I'm trying to get back to blogging more! I still didn't do Immy's birthday which shows how behind I am....not likely to do it now either since I think we may just possibly be closer (by a few days) to her 4th birthday than to her 3rd birthday! Anyway here are a couple of photos from the last few days...

Basketball in the basement!

Immy has discovered how to play games on the computer! Here she is on Disney Junior website playing Sophia the First games (her new favourite princess lol!) 

This is while Eli, David and I were playing basketball in the picture above - she was looking after her baby and getting mad if we spoke as her baby was sleeping! She's usually more into her animals than babies but the last few days this baby hasn't been out of her sight.

Our road today, 2 sunny days and we still have too much snow!

The good thing about being 6 is that shovelling snow is still fun!

We were working on these puzzles this morning but she wanted this to be for daddy on his birthday!

Getting a ride to the park to sled!

Playing on the swings while Daddy and Eli were sledding

Happy looking hubby

I even sledded ;-)

Happy boy! Loving the snow!

Catching a ride on daddys back!

David attempting to lay down and make a snow angel!

The most beautiful snow angel!

Immys snow angel

David and Eli racing home in the distance...little bit of snow on the sidewalk!

Crazy boy jumping in the snow

Enjoying the sun on her strenuous ride home from getting the mail!

Yes, even three year olds are put to work keeping the drive clear!

And lastly my beautiful 39 year old hubby enjoying his birthday beer at Montana's.

True Ontarions

Yesterday was -6 degrees. Starting to snow lightly and what did we do....bike riding!  Every time the snow melts (which happens every few days and then it snows again) Immy has said "Look, the snow is melthing - I'm desperate to go bike riding, please can we go today". I usually say no but yesterday I relented and took them. I think this means we are proper Ontarions (is that even a word, I have no idea) now!

Some Imogen cuteness

Each morning - as soon as she wakes up (in our bed, as at some point during the night she almost always gets in!) she says "Let me see what time it is" - she hops out of bed and looks out of the window. If it's light she says "it's morning time" and if it's still dark she gets back in bed and says "it's still night time" and lays down again! So cute. Although won't be as cute when summer hits and it's light early!  Once she decides it's morning she says "can we check the temperatured  (she always adds a 'd') on your phone" I believe she has picked this up from me obsessing over the freezing cold and if it's going to snow or not!!

And this morning...
Immy - "whats this"(holding a strap)
Me - "It's from Eli's accordion, it must have come off"
Immy - "did Eli broked it"
Me- "I'm not sure. I don't think so, it probably just fell off"
Immy - "did I broked it?"
Me- "No, it wasn't you"
Immy - "I did broked it, I'm sorry Mummy"
