stickers

This image looks innocent enough until you get a closer look at Layla.



I walked in to Layla's room and Sophia turned to me and said "Mommy, putting stickers on Layla's head." In this instance I'm not sure what the proper protocol is...do I yell at her and once again remind her that Layla is NOT a toy, or do I run downstairs and grab my camera. I think we all know what my reaction was this morning.

As my time at home gets close to an end I'm just grateful that these are the lasting memories I will have with me as I go back to work.

Never thought I'd see the day...

I have heard the myth of babies falling asleep in their highchairs but until today I didn't realize it could actually happen.

Well, I guess I knew it could happen!

Can anyone see the resemblance?

Sophia fell asleep after a long morning at the pool in Mexico, Layla fell asleep after a long morning watching Opa. Apparently both are very tiring activities.

beatin' the heat

There isn't much to do outside during this recent heat wave, but Sophia needed a little cool down after doing a loop around the street on her bicycle.

Don't forget your helmet!

Steve and I recently decided that Sophia was ready for a bigger bicycle. She pedals around the street on her tricycle so well that we figured she could try out a two-wheeler (with training wheels). I can't believe how well she can already pedal her new bike. Unfotunately, with the weather as hot as it is, doing one loop this morning was making us sweat. Her first attempt with her new "pink bicycle" last night was amazing and by the third loop around she barely needed any assistance at all.

My next project is to get Layla walking before I go back to work.

here fishy, fishy, fishy

Sophia caught her fist fish at the cottage, with the help of daddy. She was so excited about her catch, until it squirmed off the hook, and I thought she was going to run off the side of the dock.

It was a beautiful long weekend up north and we took full advantage of it for the 4 days we were there. The girls even had a couple swims in the lake.


and then another one at home....

Happy Canada Day!

Well, the morning has been busy. A quick loop around the street, watering the plants, a short visit from Oma and Opa, packing for the cottage and a quick lunch.

I will have to do the deck update another day but thought I would share these Canada Day photos with everyone before we leave.




HAPPY CANADA DAY!
