More Cookies!

Connor and Laura helped me decorate the gingerbread men. I think Laura ate every other m&m. As a result, she ended up quite BLUE!

Sleeping Beauty

Laura had fallen asleep in the car on the way home from the grocery store the other day. When we got home she woke up enough to walk, with help, into the house but then went promptly back to sleep in this awkward position.

Snow!

I know it doesn't look like much, but it had just started falling and I decided we HAD to go for a walk. The kids loved it. Connor and Laura kept trying to eat the snow. We walked down the street just fine but on the way back we were walking into the wind and it got a bit cold for Laura and Sophie. Right now we have between 2 and 3 inches of fluffy, white, snowball-material snow.

Getting Ready For Advent and Making Christmas Cookies

We made a long paper chain with a link for everyday until Christmas. The Sundays are purple or pink just like the colour of the candles on the Advent wreath. Each night someone will get to rip off a link. Connor gets green, Laura gets red and Sophie gets to do Sundays.





They thoroughly enjoyed making cookies, especially licking the pot from the melted chocolate and playing in the sugar.

DUCKS!!! (and one smiley baby)

There were too many ducks and Connor and Laura got a bit scared!

A Big Week for Sophie!

On Sunday, after Church, Sophie started scooting! She looks really comical. 'Kinda like a little inch worm. She wiggle across the floor to get at things she wants. Usually they are also things she is not supposed to have! Tonight, I discovered that has also cut her first tooth!! No wonder she has been fussy the last few days!

Monkeying Around

All Ready for Church

The other night, I asked Connor to go and get his pajamas on. He went to his room and put them on but when he came out he was laughing because he got things a little mixed up! He thought it was absolutely hilarious! I'm not sure why it is so funny to wear your pants on your head and your shirt on the bottom but it made Connor and Laura laugh so hard they were almost crying!

Sitting Up!

On Thursday Sophie sat up all by her self! I had tried a couple times before to have her sit but with no success. On Thursday, Connor and I were playing with Sophie and decided to try and get her to sit up. She did it! She wasn't even flopped over or holding herself up with her hands. She just sat there and smiled at us. Then she got excited and started rocking back and forth it she fell over. She has done it a few more times since then. I make sure there are pillows all around her so she has a soft landing when she falls over. It's amazing how quickly children grow!
