January catch-up . . .

Playing with her new play-dough cupcake set . . . 

How we found her sleeping one night . . .

How we often find him, maybe our house is too warm?

Got into the Nutella one day . . .

Working out . . . a great way to keep them occupied :)

the rest of December . . .

Justin had a twin for a week.  Seriously, SO CUTE together!  We miss him :(

The girls busy with my fabric cutter cutting shapes for a fundraiser quilt for their school . . .

Making paper chains . . .

Christmas morning.  Elayna & Chantel got matching 'Mommy-made' PJ's and Stella & Dot necklaces.

Playing with Justin's new train set . . .

Alyssa's new outfit and matching dolly outfit . . . more than a little thrilled with them!

Justin playing with his horse and knight . . .

Cousins make great friends :)

we found some snow . . .

Picture catch-up . . .

my little bumblebee and her flower . . .

Justin and his power tools . . . best present ever!

time for a haircut?

always trying to plug things in . . .

helping himself to everyone's chicken noodle soup . . .

they like to clean . . . I don't mind :)

playing with his hockey stick, in his empty hamper, not sure why . . .

didn't like that kind of cereal . . .

what our cat puts up with . . .

there's a special bond between these two . . . Elayna didn't mind at all sharing a room with her little brother when Grampa & Gramma visited last week . . .

their new obsession . . . watching Shrinky Dinks shrink . . .

Can't believe how big this girl is getting!

Or this one!  (wearing a jacket in the house because she's cold) . . .

enjoying a morning hot chocolate and so proud to be drinking out of a 'big boy' cup . . .

the little girl that always asks for morning hot chocolates . . .

this kid has always LOVED shoes and boots; I think heels are his favourite because they sound the loudest stomping around . . .

Pumpkin Patch 'Fieldtrip' . . .

Neither of my girls had a pumpkin patch fieldtrip this year, so a couple friends and I took our little ones and made our own.  It was great weather, sandwiched between two rainy days, and the kids had a lot of fun!

our little stinker . . .

Trying to get into the pantry . . .

Climbing on the counter and turning light switches on and off . . .

Blowing out candles on the kitchen island . . .

Climbed on the oven door, and used a toy bucket to climb on top of the stove . . .

 Good thing he's so cute!

some randomness . . .

A little girl turned 7!

 When Daddy is at work, I don't stop him from playing with dolls .  Shhhh!

 Sometimes they play together really well, and empty out all my kitchen cupboards . . .
