HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mommy !

Charlotte was very excited that it was mommy's birthday, so we decided to make her a special birthday treat ! I thought that we would try something that Charlotte could really help with, start to finish, & also something that was semi-healthy, so we ended up making Ambrosia :) Charlotte helped me pick out the items at the grocery store, and prepare the recipe at home. We hope mommy enjoys it when she gets home tonight !!

Charlotte Loves Baby Cam !

Charlotte really does LOVE Cameron ( or "Baby Cam" as her and Will like to call him ! ) It's crazy how grown up she looks sitting next to this little guy !

Snack Time

A good snack was definitely in order after a full afternoon of crafting !!!

Playdough Pals

Lisa picked up some blue playdough for the kids and they dug right in ! It's really neat to see their attention span growing - they played with this for at least a full 30 - 45 mins :) Their minds were really working as they squished, poked, and rolled the dough. They even made hats and hair for Will's plastic farm animals! They certainly have come a long way since our first playdough attempt. ( See past posts ! )

*** Thank You to William's Baba for making these adorable smocks !!! ***

What A Pro !!!

Lisa picked up these great watercolour paints and Charlotte & Will made some beautiful art !! I loved watching them experiment with both the brushes & their hands - mixing the different colours & seeing what would happen ! (At one point Charlotte decided to try tasting the paint too. Good thing it's non-toxic!) I am SO happy that we are getting into crafts now ! I have many more fun ideas in store :)

Times Are Changing

So... I am FINALLY taking the time to blog - I am actually so sick right now ( I feel like I am on my death bed ! haha ) so I figured that I would at least try to do SOMEthing productive !

Well, as many of you that read this blog know ... the beginning of October marked my last day with Will since Lisa is on maternity leave for a year. ( Waa ! ) Don't get me wrong ... I am very happy that Lisa and Chris will get to spend more time with him - but I must admit that I miss him dearly !!! Me & Charlotte have been spending some nice quality time together, but I know that she misses him too !!

Jen, Dean, & I had been looking for another family to nanny share with - ( preferably part time so that I could still take care of Will for 2 days a week. ) It is a strange coincidence that after quite a bit of searching we are going to try things out with a very nice family and guess what the little boy's name is ?? WILLIAM :) I am looking forward to getting to know him :) Hopefully I can kick this sickness and officially start with him soon !

I still have quite a few pics from the couple of weeks we spent at Will's house before October started so I will be posting them soon !
