What happens when my Mom babysits.

This is what happens to my yarn collection when my Mom babysits.  She has yarn sandals and knee decorations as well.  And yes that is a tiny stuffed giraffe tied to her head. 

Wish I could sleep like this!

1st Snowman of the Season

And he needed a mohawk!

Bubbles!

Playground Monkey!

Rings On Her Fingers And Bells On Her Toes

She will have music wherever she goes (Thanks Ian).

Swing Me Higher!

Remember when swings were so much fun you threw your head back and just wanted to go higher and higher and believed you could launch yourself into the sky?  Those days rocked!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

I don't think you ever outgrow the joy that comes from flying a kite!

New Wheels!

Only took a few tries to get the hang of it and he was cruising down the pathways!

Holy Crap it's Been a Long Blog Hiatus!

Sleepyhead

Bedtimes are such precious time and this time lapsed photo gave me a glimpse into what happens when I leave the room.  

Times to Remember

There will come a time when they don't do this anymore, so grateful to have captured the evidence now!

Sledding

My brother and I used to spend hours sledding in our coulee.  We would go out when the sun came up and sled until we couldn't walk back up the hill anymore.  Good times.  The next generation is getting started (on a smaller hill but you have to start somewhere!).

Birdfeeders

It looks like we grew our own birdfeeders this year.  Genius!  Or too lazy to pull them out of the garden...but since I don't know how to roast sunflower seeds I am sticking with genius!  The kids will be very excited if we get a bunch of visitors to the garden this winter.  

SNOW!

I see shoveling that needs to be done, my kids see an awesome opportunity to play!  They have the right idea :)

So much fun!

I worked with this group on the week-end and it was so much fun.  The wonderful thing about working with dancers is they are so used to being watched that they don't have a self-conscious bone left (or are very capable of hiding it).  Such a wonderful group, I can't wait for their website to be up!

Happy Halloween!

Even in snowsuits the kids had fun :)

Puppy Love

Who could resist those little puppy dog eyes...and the couple is pretty cute too!

Jealousy

Last year I started working with some wonderful dancers and every time I watch them perform there is a tiny bit of jealousy...I do wish I could move like they do!  Amazing!!

He's Sleeping in There Somewhere...

G has this funny habit of putting stuff on his head when he is falling asleep.  Sometimes it's his pillow, other times it's his stuffies.  It's always and adventure to find him in his bed once he is asleep!
