The kids

Fischer likes to pull all the blankets out of our coffee table and play in it with his animals. Last evening he fell asleep in it. It's the perfect size for him. It looked pretty cozy in there.


Amelia figured out how to climb onto this little chair. It makes her look like such a big girl in it. I think she also felt pretty cool sitting up like that. Hopefully she doesn't try standing up on it.

Ahoy mate



We found some pirate accessories while packing. Fischer enjoyed playing the part. Fischer built a pirate ship in our living room to hide out in. Any adult would think it was just a pile of pillows and blankets over a chair, but to a toddler it is a ship on the wide open sea. He still doesn't believe me as to why pirates have a hook and an eye patch. He says "that's silly".

Holiday happenings

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I was supposed to work but ended up being on call because the hospital was slow. This allowed me to go with Jimmy and the kids to our friends house for dinner. It worked out very well. We had a delicious turkey which they cooked on the grill. We had at least 5 different pies! Lots of good eating. Fischer and Amelia had fun playing with the other kids that were there.

Hot Springs

We went down to Zims Hot Springs today. It was a beautiful sunny day with temps in the 30's. Perfect day for relaxing in the hot springs. It was a much needed break from the stress of moving. We need to take advantage of the natural hot springs a few times before we move. Amelia seemed to enjoy it. Fischer brought his swimming dinosaurs with. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Glimpses


Here is a little glimpse into our day today. A little bit of packing, playing and as usual, mess making. I pack things into boxes and they pull them back out. Fischer likes to use the boxes for forts or for his animals, or sometimes just to chase poor Cosmo around the house with. Luckily Amelia can't climb into them yet. I have been busy cleaning out closets, which they love to "help" with. Fischer likes to tell me that I am making a big mess. Sometimes you have to make a mess to get it clean? It feels good to purge. A big yard sale is just around the corner. It will probably end up being in the middle of a snow storm. It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate.

Birthday girl

Amelia turned one yesterday! I made her a little birthday crown, which didn't stay on for very long. I also made her a stuffed owl out of an old sweater and a book with pictures of her first year. Fischer had fun singing happy birthday to her and blowing out the candle. Wow, time goes by way too fast!
