A little girly goodness – March 25th, 2009

Spring break means juggling children while daycare is closed. This time we decided to do a little house swap with some fellow daycare parents. Wednesday was my turn and I got off easy with just one extra child in tow. We had a fun day with some painting (while Samuel was asleep) aquick trip to the park and a little craft project. The rest of the day was spent with quiet play, a two-hour nap (yes, they all napped at the same time!) and a lot of playing “keep the baby away from the toddlers toys”.

And I had a fabulous opportunity to take some photos of a little girl. Yes, I now have some pink in my portfolio. These are just a few of my favourites

 

  

 


My boys were there too. Just not as pretty.

But still pretty darn cute

 

 

Because I need a little Spring right now

I am feeling blah! The weather sucks, work has been challenging and Samuel threw up on me today. I just need a teeny tiny little bit of Spring to keep me going. Just a smidgen of sunshine, a little bit of warmth.

At least I can control the amount of Spring on my blog.

Swedish Organization – March 24th, 2009

Did I mention how much I love Ikea? Oh yes, I love Ikea. Our last visit was “operation playroom”. It’s amazing how much two shelves can totally change your life. Oh, you think I’m kidding? Check this out.

See what I mean? Those little baskets hanging at the bottom were a brilliant idea I saw on some website somewhere (I think it was Ohdeedoh). I think it was two dollars for the rail they are hanging on and another couple for each of the baskets. A place for paint brushes, crayons and all other sorts of bits and pieces for $10.

Oh, yes. I love Ikea. Of course I’m not going to mention all the things we bought that we don’t really need… But it was worth it.
