Mumford & Sons

I don't know the last time I bought a CD, but I'm glad I bought this one!

Pancakes

We had pancakes for dinner tonight and J requested letters...J, S for me, D for Daddy, K for Kelsey, and for some reason O...

Snow Baby

Sleeping Beauty

Owls

Weakness for blank books. Seriously.

Birdie-Airplane

J drew this "bird-airplane" tonight...her art has come a long way in the last year!

Treasure

J picked these up on a walk today...she wants to keep them, but I convinced her we could leave them outside and she could get them and carry them the next time we go for a walk...

Nostalgia

I got out my Pax Lodge (and Our Chalet) books tonight...now I'm wishing I could get myself a time machine!

Park Princess

Scraps

MMMMMmmmmm...soup stock from scraps. Complete with the heart from making J's Valentine's cards.

Hispter

J loves wearing glasses because she's like Mommy...she pops the lens out of these glasses all the time!

Here Comes The Snow

Orchid

J got her mommy a pretty orchid for her desk. I love it!

Press My Name

J is obsessed with the computer right now...whenever she sees that it is out, she asked to "press her name."

Valentine's Day J

J was pretty excited to see that her daddy got her some Valentine's chocolate...yummy!

Two Hats

Fiona made the one on the bottom and I made the one on top...apparently hats are better when there are two of them!

Cousin Night

This sad picture is the only picture I got of our cousin night tonight...but Sara seems to be laughing (maybe), so I guess that means it was a good night!

Skinny Wallet

I shrunk my wallet...I decided to participate in the Org Junkie's 52 week organizing challenge and I started with my wallet!

Mommy, I Have A Moustache

Why yes J, you do...you kind of the look like the Joker too...

I had a smoothie for breakfast this morning (I'm a bit over salad and soup and eggs for breakfast every day) and someone wanted to share. I'm not sure if she was more excited that she got to have a smoothie or that she ended up with a moustache! (She also got it in her bangs...good thing she's getting her hair cut tomorrow!)

Not Rex The One Eyed Wonder Dog

J has no idea who Rex is was except that he figures in a couple of pictures at my parents' house.

Rex was our beloved cocker spaniel. He had glaucoma, among other health issues, and when he was about seven or eight (I'm guessing...I can't remember exactly) he had one eye removed.

J's little puppy only has one eye because someone chewed the other one off. I have it. I just need to sit down with a needle and thread and fix it. One day. Really. I will.

I wish I had a picture of Rex to show you.

Cutting And Pasting

J spent over an hour this morning and again this afternoon sitting at the table cutting, gluing, and taping magazine pages and construction paper together. She had a blast. I'm on the lookout for old magazine with good toddler pictures now...I figure if I fill a box full of them I had hours and hours and hours of entertainment for J. Oh, and those scissors, they're special scissors with no metal blades and they're made especially for toddlers...so they can't chop up their clothes, hair, or other stuff...

Sick Bed

Well, now it's J's turn to be sick...we have her camped out on the couch.


She spent part of the morning lounging around reading her books and watching Sesame Street and Raffi (I am so glad I saved that DVD for a day when I needed it!)


And then I looked over, and well, she had fallen asleep, all on her own. She did it two more times too. A sure sign she's not feeling well.

We'll be staying home again tomorrow...

Froggy

I was pretty sure J had a fever this afternoon, but when I went to take her temperature, the battery was dead. So, off to the drugstore we went...the only digital thermometer in the store was this froggy...actually, there were two. We bought one. And came home. And it didn't work. So, back we trekked to the store to exchange it. I checked the new one before we left the store. It worked. And when we got home, I took J's temperature and actually, yes, she did have a fever. Which means another day at home for me tomorrow.

Colourful

J's play dough is pretty colourful...

The Cross

This store is dangerous...I found the best baby gift here...and it's a good thing it's in Yaletown and not close to our house.

Ready For The Day

Bathing Beauty

J decided she needed to wear her bathing suit to bed...but it didn't really fit over her pjs!
