January 16-17

At home for 2 days but definitely not completely idle! There is still much to learn and time to spend with Aunty Karyn during her visit. So of course I must share! We are a little constrained with the need to be home with the kids and Ken working long into the evening but I think we made do. I do have to admit, the bulk of our time was spent sitting around just hanging out together… much like we used to up in Alberta… I really needed that… quiet, productive crafting (on my side – slippers) time with a good FEMALE friend…

I managed to snag a great dinosaur related app on a day when it was free thanks to Facebook. With over 120 dinosaurs Emanuel was in dinosaur picture HEAVEN. Some of them can even be moved 360 degrees!

Enjoying the dinosaurs

We had a new Art for Kids illustration to create – a rose… something to practice before Valentine’s day!

Of course Ken finally found some time the next morning to help the boys with some beautiful snowflakes. Still rather square but I am so impressed by their cutting skills. And I do love a pretty snowflake!

Working with Daddy

So pretty

Trinity spent BOTH days working with Karyn to start AND complete a workbook! She wore out Aunty before she was done the day before and pushed through to finish the next… a serious learning machine.

Proud completion

With an evening with Ken at home and our being home for the day… well we had fun, we learned and we simply spent time together. And honestly, that was more than enough for me!

Rocking Sheep!
