Harry Potter

Wyatt has become hooked on Harry lately. We've been reading the novels together at bed time and are on book 3 already. My thought was he'd read the book then we'd watch the movie- bit we couldn't wait. We are almost through all the movies and my kids carry smoothie straws around like wands chasing and cursing each other. Stella even has one and chases the big kids around too. 

In the phot wyatt is frozen on the couch after a particularly horrible curse about butterflies that isla cast.

Cookies

Islas prescho does a Christmas bake walk to raise money for something ;)

The preschool families donate 4 dozen cookies and then on the day of the sale you pay $10 for a plate and walk around filling the plate with a dozen items. I went a little overboard and ended up with close to 10 dozen. Yikes. Better start giving them away before I eat them.

A little mommy

This little miss is growing up so much. She loves to help me, is so sweet and thoughtful with her siblings. Loves to cuddle and give kisses. The other day she wanted to be a mommy- helped make dinner and refused to play with the baby- (I'm not sure what that says about my parenting style :). )

She got this little princess bridal costume from my mom after Halloween, then my mom bright over the veil. She is all ready to get married. The lucky boy- Cohen Pratt. 

Happy Birthday Stella

What to get the baby who has everything? Earrings :)

She doesn't realize they are there so doesn't touch them, only cried for a second, and they make me happy because she looks so cute and girly. It's almost like a present for me.

Winter fun

Wyatt told me he wanted to play outside with Stella- so I shoveled and wyatt pulled Stella around the cul de sac. Stella loves being outside, she got a snowsuit for her birthday so now there's nothing stopping her from playing with the big kids.

Fall break

The county puts on some great camps for school age kids during the fall break. Wyatt went with his cousin Jude to a science camp and then a nature explorers camp at the wilderness center. It's nice to get them out and keep them busy or it becomes a very long week for me ;)

Fall break. Telus world of science!

We have a pass to the telus world of science. I don't go enough. The kids love it, especially Stella this time because I let her wander around out of the stroller. She loved exploring, and the big kids have lots to entertain themselves too.
