~ Splash ~

Lately it's been beyond hot out !!! Luckily there are splash pads at quite a few of the local parks :) Charlotte & Will love to "Spash" in the "Wawa". They ask to go there pretty much every day ! Surprisingly, Will is the one that is more daring in the water, while Charlotte holds back more. Will RUNS into the water and kicks and splashes his hands and he also LOVES to dunk his head in ! Charlotte gets a little scared when the water gets deeper, & she pretty much just plays quietly and watches the other children - talk about a total role reversal ! I just love to watch them enjoying the outdoors - it brings me so much joy :)

Animal Carousel

Jen & Dean have a lazy Susan & today Charlotte & Will decided that in fact it WASN'T just a lazy Susan..... but it was also an Animal Carousel !! I had to do a little refereeing since both of them wanted to be the one to spin it around and say "Weeeeee" !! - but they eventually took turns :) Luckily no animals were harmed !

Colouring :)

Deep Concentration Is Required

You Must Pick Just The Right Colour ....

Use Light Strokes

And Fluid Lines ....

In Order To Create A MASTERPIECE !





Both Charlotte & Will are showing a lot of interest in crafts these days ( I had been waiting so patiently for this day to come ! ) Here are some pics of them colouring. They really like when I hold their hand and help them to write their names, and they LOVE getting their hands traced ! I hope to progress to finger painting soon !

Dress Up

Will & Charlotte love wearing these shirts ! They are starting to get very interested in playing dress up so I was thinking of making them a "Tickle Trunk" !! If anyone has an old wooden toy box I can have to paint let me know !

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Lisa & Chris For Having A Baby Boy !!!!


And Congrats To Will For Becoming A BIG BROTHER :)


( 2 Days Ago ! )

Attempting Playdough Again

So .... Will actually ENJOYS playdough now ! WOOO ! As you can see he quite likes to make squish marks with his tiny fingers :) Charlotte still loves it ! She has gotten really good at using the mini rolling pin too !!

Back From Holidays & My Have They Grown !!!

Over the last month both families went on holiday for 2 separate weeks ( which meant that I was granted a holiday as well ! ) But now things are back in action and I am astounded at how much both Charlotte & Will have changed !! There are a lot of new fun and exciting things going on and I wanted to document them :)

I have been trying to make a list of words that both Will & Charlotte can say ( some of them are clear and some of them I have learned to interpret ) for quite some time. I have a lot so far so one night I am going to have to sit down and write them all up !! ( hopefully soon )

Since it is already late I will make this post short but I hope to do a longer post in the very near future !
