Monday, February 15th, 2010I had to laugh when I saw this post earlier-on today since I had just loaded the pictures from my small point and shoot camera not even 20 minutes earlier to find these:
…must be some sort of unschooling right of passage…
Then later on, as I was doing some work on my other site, [...]
An Update on the Girls!
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Dawn and Emily have been busy crafting, colouring, gluing and playing! It’s so nice to see them play together…it makes me glad that I had them close together. With 15 months only between them, they are becoming great playmates to one another!
Emily now knows most of her letters and she’s been starting to work on [...]
Resourcefulness
Thursday, January 21st, 2010It still amazes me how these young minds can take an obstacle and come to a solution to overcome it. A friend dropped off 2 40-lb boxes of kitty litter for me and I told him to leave them at the entrance, I’d move them later. Seeing a task ahead of them, Dawn took one [...]
A Photo Update…
Sunday, November 15th, 2009We’ve been quite busy over the last couple of weeks with everyday life! Dawn had her birthday party and had a blast! We’ve also been out to park days and just exploring life at all it’s glory.
The Girls are Learning to Read!
Sunday, October 11th, 2009It’s so rewarding to see when all your work (or non-work) pays off. Both Dawn and Emily are finally actively grasping the concept of reading.
The girls were sitting in the bed this morning and I found Dawn spelling out letters of a word (in an opposites board book), then saying the word. Too easy you say? Maybe, [...]
THE Scissors…
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009What I find most endearing, and completely frustrating about children, is that despite our efforts to warn them about the perils and consequences of certain actions, they still HAVE to try said-action.
By now, you already know what I’m talking about. One glance at the photo in this post says it all…yes people, we had *THE* [...]
Annual NOT Back to School Picnic
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Yesterday was HLSA’s annual ‘NOT Back to School Picnic!’ A fun time was had by everyone as families came together to chat about plans for the months ahead and to give their children a chance to play and explore in Edmonton’s River Valley. I have the full intention of signing up for membership with them [...]
Handstands and MoonSand and Cookies! (Oh my!)
Thursday, August 27th, 2009What a day today has been. I feel as though a huge weight has just been lifted off of my shoulders. My new condo is FINALLY unpacked and clean to my liking. It certainly hasn’t been easy and I’m very thankful to those who took the time to give me a hand (especially with the [...]
Back to the Grind
Friday, August 7th, 2009We are finally (sort of) settled in and the girls are really getting impatient about starting up their schooling again. I can’t say that I blame them…it’s been way over 4 months and they seem to love doing traditional bookwork!
I’ve been trying to get out daily or almost daily with the girls to take advantage [...]
Happy Princess Day!
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009Yesterday, out of the blue yonder, Dawn decided that today would be “Happy Princess Day” Her afternoon was spend dressing up as a princess, building herself a crown and running around the house singing a song she invented “Happy Princess Day!”
It was amazing to see how she spent literally hours preparing for her ’special day’ [...]
