Sister love. Love the swing.

They can't get enough of her.


I'm not sure what Dylan is looking at when we put her in the swing- every time she ends up like this... and lately she's been cooing and smiling at it... ?

Snowman down. ... er.. snowWOMAN!

Since there was a freak snowfall I wasn't prepared for having to decorate the snowman that chris and the girls made.. no coal, (who has coal anyway?), no carrots (we only had baby carrots, not so good for snowman nose)... So I rummaged through the tickle trunk and pulled out some "decor" I thought would cheer this snowman up -needless to say, this is no snowMAN!!!

Poor girl, never had a chance!

Happy Thanksgiving- Canadian Style

It always seems like Canadian Thanksgiving sneaks up on us... and when I make dinner, I don't plan- I open the fridge and cupboards and just go for it each and every night. .. and I've found that I 1/2 do this on Thanksgiving- thinking we'll have all the fixins for a sufficient traditional meal. This year it happens that we had nothing "green" or "crunchy" at the table (unintentionally). I like to think it would have been a great meal for us when we are "older"(if you catch my drift).

Here we are making pumpkin squares- me and 3 kids while dad pauses from the football game to take our picture.

Brooke, taking on her first drum stick.. it's all she really needed. Who cares about the squash and potatoes.


Anna and Brooke made us place cards so we knew where to sit.


..even Dylan got one!
