Let the sun SHINE

Hello Sun! The sun has been out....and with sunnier and warmer weather we've been taking advantage of being outside. Who cares about the upcoming rainy weather when it's preceded by a week of SUN!?

Spring Snow

This year Anna and Alastair have been taking advantage of the snow at Grouse. Anna took lessons in February and with snow still on the mountain in March Anna and Alastair spent many weekends skiing!

It's a bird, it's a plane..it's The Gumazing Gum Girl!

Today at Anna's school the kids were told they could dress up as their favourite character from a movie or book. Basically it was like Halloween without the candy! Last week Anna and I read a book about The Gumazing Gum Girl. It's about a girl who loves chewing gum and one day she blows a bubble so big that it burst on an electric wire and turns her into a gum superhero! Anna and I both loved the book and Anna loved it so much she decided she wanted to dress up The Gumazing Gum Girl!

The book that inspired the costume!

A little of this, a little of that -.

Sometimes I realize I haven't posted anything in a few weeks and I'll furiously look through pictures and think "What have we been up to!? What can I post?" And then I look through pictures and think "How have I not taken any pictures!?" But as everyone knows as kids get older life gets busier....between attending birthday parties, doctor's appointments, swim lessons, ski lessons, and school...and the never ending rainy weather the last few weeks have been a blur! Here are a few highlights of what we've been up to !

Practiced our ice skating skills!

Made Valentine's for all our friends

And made what might be my new favourite cookie!

Family Dance

This week Anna's school had their annual Family Dance! Anna and Maitilda shook their groove thing and danced the night away!
