Day 31: Emma and Lucy

I was straightening up Anna's room today and found her dolls, Emma and Lucy sitting on her chest of drawers. They are wearing beautiful new dresses, given to Anna for her birthday by her grandparents.

Day 30: Lego Giraffe

On Saturday afternoon, after a very fun sleepover party that didn't involve much sleep for anyone in the house, I asked the birthday boy what he would most like to do. "What I would really like, mum, is for you to build lego with me." How could I refuse such a request? So after a 25 year hiatus, I spent a Saturday afternoon on the floor with a pile of lego and all four kids and I built things. This giraffe was my special project.

Day 29: Annual Meeting

There are many wonderful things about our church family but one of them is that we really know how to put on a pot luck feast. This amazing lunch preceded our annual general meeting today.

Day 28: Birthday pancakes

What better way to start your tenth birthday than by eating a chocolate chip pancake with whipped cream and hot fudge sauce?

Day 27: Draw your swords!

Daniel invited some friends over this evening for a sleepover to celebrate his birthday. The activities opened with an epic sword fight, played out between six boys. Once the duels were over, the nerf guns appeared and battle continued...

Day 26: Shadows

Noah and I were excited to see the shadows of snowflakes on our table this lunch time. The kids made paper snowflakes for our window back in December.

Day 25: More homework help

I am determined that this blog should not be devoted solely to our kitten, but his appearance on the kitchen table this afternoon certainly entertained Anna who was working on a Martin Luther King Jr wordsearch.
