An Apple Right Under the Tree.

Fiona's room: She spends a lot of time playing school with her animals in here. Putting the little ones into the crib to sleep. Hours at her little desk drawing. Reading until her tired parents exclaim "no more reading!" (which somehow feels wrong)
Not quite enough room cleaning. Plenty of changing of outfits to be suitably fancy for whatever occasion. Posting this to remember these fun times.

Birthday Season

Well it seems to have hit us again....Birthday Season. This year there have been a few already and after each one Fiona says, "I want to ________ for my birthday! be it rollerskating, gymnastics, skating in the park or this weekends flavour, a movie date. It was to celebrate Amelie's 6th. Just the three girls and looked really tempting to me as a quieter less messy party option. The birthday thing is tricky...there is a lot of planning to have a herd of kids over, food, games, goodie-bags, etc. If you're not careful you could be working for days to have a three hour gathering. Thus I am really tempted, and may be lobbying hard for this weekends style. But who knows, by April there may be something we haven't thought of yet. Here are some pics of fiona out on the town without her parents.

Being silly with Amelie

I always wondered who they made the blue ice-cream for...

Febuary things

Febuary is screaming by but we have captured a few pictures along the way.

Playing Pac Man with her dad at the brewery. Wholesome upbringing!

Showing her Girl Scout pin at her school Gym.

Saying her girl scout pledge where she substitutes "God" with "our good Earth"

A picture for her teacher: A mother and father bird bringing worms to the nest.

And a middle of the night picture she drew in bed...i think the upper panel is the monkeybars and the lower the door to her classroom.
