The weather has changed and this time it is definitely for the BETTER. With the temperature topping off at over 0 Celsius the kids were overjoyed to spend most of their late afternoon in the backyard which is full of packed down snow.
Sunshine, snow and warm weather!
Perfect for a mini sledding hill!!

This gave Ken and myself the opportunity to attempt (notice I said ATTEMPT) some pictures of Echo in the snow in the FRONT yard… she really was having nothing to do with it so our best image is one from the BACK.
The best shot!
Today was the first day of our Math Week, and I think a success. We started off with some dice games – Balloons and Mountain. They have in turn taught Daddy how to play Mountain. Tomorrow Gavin is going to teach Emanuel to play Balloons.
Teaching Daddy
We then moved to colour by numbers where you have to do addition equations to find out what colours to use. This had them reading their own colour words for the most part (YAY). And best of all – dinosaurs! Those finished we worked on our Math workbooks. Mid week the plan is to play with our cash register and see if we can work on recognizing money.
Our Math Week supplies... well some of them
The wish to sew more bears has continued over the weekend, so I started Zander on another bear and have hunted down a bunny pattern for Gavin. After all, if they want to sew I am more than willing to work with them on that!
And now for the pictures… way later than I had originally planned, but here are the new 7yr photos of the twins to pick the best of the best out of! So please email, comment here, etc etc which you think is the best to put on the wall as an 8X10!!

Modelling one of MY tutus!
Last night I took a little crafting time for myself and finished my last few printed out photos!
Trinity's
Echo's - note BOTH have Hello Kitty die cut pieces
So life is busy busy here, we are hoping to meet baby Izaac tomorrow, the immunization replacement appointment is maintaining an illusive status, and I have a thousand unfinished things rushing through my mind. The short list is still intensely long – there is the lucky stars I have yet to fold for girls unnamed, my stepsister’s wedding present, helping Chris and Chris with their August wedding, packing, embellishing an old dress for Trinity… and that is not even the whole short list! ACK!
She has been in a pretty good mood the past few days!
I love the snow pic of Echo! Lol The last pic of her is adorable too. 🙂 My favorite of the twins is D (maybe cropped just a tiny bit closer) and my 2nd favorite is E. Seeing your scrapbook pages makes me want to dig my stuff out and do some. I’m trying to wait till my craft room gets cleaned. :p
Hugs, Elaine
Thanks Elaine! I wish I had more room to do my scrapbooking. Right now I am trying to finish up what projects are out and then start packing it away. I have a few more pages I need to do before April. I love that picture too… I just wish she would have stopped crying long enough to get a nice face one lol.
Thanks for the vote!

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!|
