Day 45 - Story Time & Craft

Today we went with a few friends to a local book store for story time. As usual, Declan preferred to play with the Thomas stuff while Scarlet and I listened to the Olympic themed stories and chatted with friends.
Amanda brought her niece with her who I think is a year older than Declan. He had fun playing with her and making an Olympic torch.

Day 44 - Little Tot Spot

We checked out Little Tot Spot with a few friends. We were the only ones there so it was nice to let the kids run/crawl around and for us mom's to sit around and chat. Declan had a buidling and tearing things. I really like this place and I hope it does well. We'll be going back for sure

Day 43 - Family Day

The day started by Grandma & Grandpa coming to pick up Declan to take him for breakfast at his favourite spot, Cora's. He hung out at their house for a bit and then came home for nap time. After nap, Grandpa came back over. We bundled up and he took Declan, Scarlet & I to the pond to skate. Grandpa put on his skates and Declan's bob skates while Scarlet & I watched from the sideline. Declan thinks once he gets his skates on that he can skate like the hockey players so after falling on his arse several times, his spirit was broken a bit. Grandpa tried really hard but it just wasn't working. Luckily I managed to snap a few shots while he was having fun! Later we all (including Adam) went to my parents house for a nice dinner..........anything is wonderful when you don't have to cook it yourself! My mom always has something for dessert which is a nice treat ;)

Day 42 - Snuggles with Baby

Every since Declan laid eyes on my Mon Chi Chi he was in love. It's a monkey doll I've had since I was about 5 or 6. He sleeps with it every night and at nap time. He goes where ever he's sleeping over but that's where it ends. I really didn't want him dragging this thing around everywhere with him. I also didn't want him to loose it and then be upset when it was gone. Last year I sent out an SOS to anyone and everyone who might know where to get another one. After searching the net, I found a site in the USA that sells them but the shipping was atrocious! I was all set to order it and have it sent to my friend in the States when...........I stumbled upon one at Home Sense. Gotta love that store! Here's my little monkey loving up his little monkey aka Baby!

Day 41 - Cousins

My inlaws are visiting from near Ottawa with my nieces and nephews. I love when they come down. Declan can't get enough of all of them but especially Thommy & Grace. Grace loves to play mommy to Declan and he eats it up.
This afternoon, after playing the nanna & papa's basement for awhile, Grace and Declan appeared in the kitchen and told us that they had a dance to show us. I guess they had been practising for awhile and it was so cute. I managed to get a shot of their end pose...B.boys...LOL


Scarlet was hanging with one of my older nieces. Scarlet was talking Summer's ear off & blowing her tons of bubbles. It was so cute to see them together.

Day 40 - Rolling Rolling Rolling

Scarlet is officially a roller! She's done it a few times since about 1 1/2 months but now she really has it goin' on! She won't do it on command which makes me look like a liar a lot of the time but I swear (even though I quit swearing when I had children), she does roll............right Grandma & Daddy?!!?!

Day 39 - Be My Valentine

Today at the library, Declan made a valentine for his grandma and grandpa. He really doesn't care much about the crafts unless they involve glue (you all know how I fear glue & toddlers.... LOL), stickers or markers. Lucky for him (ummm, and me?), this craft included all of the above. He did a wonderful job and both grandma and (especially) grandpa loved thier handmade valentine's day card from their favourite little guy.
