A Day in the Park

Like the title says here are some photos from a recent trip to the park, which is actually the new playground right outside our apartment building.

Walking to the playground, no stroller today.

 Not too sure about these swings.

 Where do I hold on?

 Okay - with Sydney this is better

 What is this stuff?

 Sydney and David busy at work

 Ashlyn was busy destroying the work.

It was a cool morning - but a fun sand filled adventure.

T-Shirt to Shrug

So what do you do on a Saturday night at 9:30pm when both kids are asleep and there is nothing on TV? Why not sew something,  that's what I did.  First, I searched a bit on the internet for some ideas, this is the website I used: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/tshirt_shrug.

 Here is the t-shirt I started out with - nothing fancy at all.

 Here is the finished product - hard to really get the whole idea in a 2D picture. The only thing that still needs to be done is: I need to buy orange ribbon to tie it up with. I only had cream colored as you can see in the picture.

,

So here I am modelling the shrug at 10:30pm.  I like it - it was really easy, less then an hour. It probably could be done in 30 minutes if you're not interrupted by facebook, skype or kids.

3 and a half

What has happened to my cute little baby?

I swear only yesterday was she a cute quiet newborn who loved nothing more then to sleep and have eveyone wait on her hand and foot.

Now Sydney is a very independent Kindergartener - she loves to play with and make her sister laugh - she talks non stop.  Sleeping is not so high on her priority list anymore - but singing, dancing and moving around as much as possible is top priority at the moment. 

It really is incredible how fast they grow up.  I love my crazy 3 and a half year old!

Holiday Monday

What do you do on a rainy Holiday Monday. It's too wet to go out so you got find things to keep people happy and entertained.

So we practised walking a bit, but chasing Sydney was much more fun.

We built a cabin, but it turned out to be an airplane that only flew to Canada.

We took some naps

even though we were sure we wouldn't fall asleep.

We got our feet dirty

then decided it wasn't enough - so we got our hands dirty as well.

Now our dirt is hanging on the wall.

Hope your rainy Monday was just as much fun as ours.

2 dresses, 3 girls.

Christmas 2009 I made these dresses for Sydney and Audrey they had a photo session that Christmas.  Audrey's dress fit good, but Sydney's was far too big, but looked cute for the pictures.

Here is a picture of Sydney and Ashlyn in the dresses from today, Sydney's I had to make smaller - it was far too wide and Audrey's dress fit Ashlyn perfectly.

Not the best picture of Sydney but I wanted to show the dresses. 

First Ponytail

Ashlyn has the same crazy hair as Syd did as a baby - it looks like Ashlyn will have curls just like Sydney. They look very similar the color of their hair is different, Ashlyn is much lighter then Syd.

Ashlyn 10 months old with her first ponytail.

Ahslyn wasn't very happy with us that we were taking pictures.

Here is Sydney at 10 months old, also with her first ponytail.
