Winter Beauty

It is snowing outside as I write this post.  It is so beautiful!  This was taken earlier tonight.  I can't wait to see what the Winter Wonderland looks like in the morning.

Arabella & Emily

We really do have the best babysitter.  And we sure are going to miss her when we move. 

Last night, I had Emily come over for a few hours so that I could get some much needed things done around the house.  Arabella had a blast - they played and ran and did playdoh and a few other things.  Arabella hates when it is time for Emily to leave.  They always have so much fun together.  And it wore Arabella out so when it was bedtime, she was out pretty quick!

Snow Fort

Sunday was fairly mild so in the afternoon, Arabella, Max and I went for a little walk to check out the snow that feel on Saturday.  When we finished with the walk, Arabella and I decided to make a snow fort.  It wasn't huge - I just dug out an area and then tried to build up the walls.  It was the first one we have ever made and it came out halfway decent.  Arabella had fun, and that is all that matters!

So True...

Friday Fun

Last Friday, I picked Arabella up from school and we headed to June's house for an afternoon of fun.  Laura and her girls were there as well - all of the kids had fun playing inside and out in the snow.  I enjoyed my time with two of my favorite moms.  Laura & June had fun snuggling Max.  It was nice to have a afternoon just hanging out and talking.  Thanks June for a great afternoon - it wasn't that we did a lot, but that we were able to spend time together. 

Cuties

One afternoon, Ronald and Bram stopped by to visit Baby Max.  Ronald was so cute and is fascinated with Max.  Two adorable little guys!

Swim & Gym

Last week, Arabella and her class had a fun field trip to the Pointe-Claire pool for Swim & Gym.  They spent about 30 minutes in the gym playing around and then they spent about anoter 30 minutes in the pool.  Arabella had a great time - she loved running around the gym and then couldn't wait to hit the pool.  Such a little mermaid! 

 And she is off...kicking away on a kick board.

 Max was so good the whole time.

Almost her whole class in the small wading pool.

After, the class, the kids had a snack and then we played in the pool while waiting for her swim lessons.  We ran into one of my friends from the gym, Theresa and her daughter.  She was so excited to see and finally meet Max!  Arabella had a fun time hanging out with Lucy.  She even got a "behind the pool scene tour" from Theresa when they went looking for Theresa's son who is on the swim team. 

 She even practiced her hand stands!
