Oh, the Things that Entertain Kids

Yesterday was a sick day at our house, meaning that Sydney was home from Kindergarten with a really bad case of diarreha. The plan was to stay inside yesterday and get as many sewing presents finished or started as possible.While they napped in the morning it was easy to sit down and sew without any problems interruptions from the girls.  I attempted again in the afternoon to work on another project, but Ashlyn wasn't happy with me.  She didn't want to play with her sister or do anything other then try to climb up on my lap while I was sewing.  After putting her down for the 5th or 6th time I heard a crash of soemthing falling to the floor.  Here is what I saw:
Ashlyn had dumped out enough bottles so she could climb into the cupboard.
Trying to look innocent.
Look where I am.
You can't be mad at me when I smile at you.
Ok, how do I get out of here again.
I think I might need help.

Early Christmas with Oma and Opa

Christmas came very early this year for my girls.  We're spending the holidays in Canada - so we went to visit David's parents the beginning of November and there just happened to be some presents for the girls waiting there. Sydney kept saying "I can't believe it".
Here is Sydney showing off her Doctor kit. Everyone had several doctor checkups over the course of our visit.
Ashlyn posing for the camera - can you see the gift?
How about now?
Ashlyn got a dog backpack, maybe she'll stop taking Sydney's away. It's super soft and once it was on  she kept it on for a very long time.
Sydney inspecting the contents of her doctor kit.
The girls walking Max.

Princess Afternoon

One afternoon Ashlyn discovered that under Sydney's bed there was a box with dress up clothes. So here are the results of the girls and the dress up clothes.
Here is what Ashlyn picked out herself - she was in love with the lei.
Sydney in the Ariel outfit and a rondom crown.
Ashlyn in the tutu that's just a tad too big for her.
The box had lots of bags as well - Ashlyn inspected everybag - looking for goodies inside.
Sydney being Snow White.
Ashlyn loves camera - but she walks towards the camera everytime you try to take a picture.
Sydney the blue ballerina.

Kindergarten Latern Festival

Every fall the kindergarten kids make Laterns and have a Festival to show off the laterns. Last week was the Latern Festival in Sydney's Kindergarten. All the kids and families showed up with the laterns and walked thorugh the forest to the Kindergaten, guided by the light from the laterns. Ate Pumpkin Soup made by the kids, played outside, and sang songs with the laterns.
 Here is Sydney on the way to meet up with the rest of Kindergarten .
 Ashlyn hanging on to Sydney's latern for her while she plays with friends.

Happy Halloween

 Here is Sydney with her pumpkin - she was very particular about the size and where exactly the face went. She refused to help empty the insides out - but she had no problem helping to eat the seeds.
Here is her pumpkin all light up.  
Happy Halloween.
