Day 99 - Fairy Catching

So Haley thought she would try her hand at catching a fairy again.  This time she tried a different approach.  She put the fairy dust in the garden, then put the magnifying glass over it she when the fairy tried to move it, she would hear and scoop it up with the net and cage that she had hidden.

Carleen... you may have to get me out of this somehow!  Oh... and thanks for the gift! ;)

Day 96 - Hanging out...

Haley's new favourite place to hang out is in the apple tree out back.  She has just learned how to climb it.

Day 95 - Egg Hunt at Grandma's

Paige hunted...

The others hunted...

Paige hunted...

The others hunted...

Paige hunted...

And Paige won!

The whole crew!

And my darlings...

Day 94 - The Easter Bunny has arrived!

Easter is a favourite around here.  Tradition in our family is to make a "nest" out of the clothes you wore that day anywhere that you want for the Easter Bunny to come and fill.  Thankfully, the girls chose the couch and the living room chair. ;)  Then of course, we had an egg hunt that included chocolate!!!

Day 87 - Fabulous Friends!

You can't get better friends than those who will come over and put up with your children for the "dinner hour" by playing board games and Hide and Go Seek!

Thanks Bobbi and James!  From Haley and Paige AND their slightly insane parents!  LOL

Day 83 - Haley and the Hat

Ok... so I had to take these photos in the bathroom... but the light was just so fabulous!  LOL

And this would be the Haley we all know and love...

SIGH...

Day 78 - BFFs

Well... we survived!  Haley had a sleepover last night.  It wasn't her first, but it has been awhile.  They were up until almost 11pm and awake at 6:50am!  We spent a lot of time outdoors and they were well behaved.  Haley hit the wall about about 5 o'clock tonight though.  I'm not sure I will last much longer!  ;)

One of the rare moments of quiet I had. :)
These books actually remind me of Haley and Tove.  Haley is the wild child and Tove is the girly girl.  Good thing they have been BFFs since 11months old so they don't notice the differences... just accept them.

(some say they look alike??)

(remember how tired they are... )

Tove... what pretty eyes she has!!

Day 77 - MAPLE SYRUP!!!!!

First off... let me apologize for posting so many pics in this post.  I could post MANY more and probably will on my Facebook, but it was just SO much fun!

Secondly... I want to thank Judith and Dave for opening thier home (and Shanty) for us to explore and learn.  The girls had a GREAT time and as always, it is nice to be with friends!

So... today we went to Judith's sugar bush!  Haley and Paige have never really had a chance to learn about the process and they got first hand experience today!!

THEY WORKED...

THEY LEARNED...

THEY WON HEARTS...

THEY HAD SAP TEA...

THEY HAD FUN!!!!

Day 75 - The Walk

Haley and I spent a good 2 hours walking (and scootering) around the neighbourhood today.  I'm not sure that I managed to tire her out, but I was exhausted afterwards!  Mainly because we had to stop every 4 feet to gather "treasures" left behind when the snow melted.  Then of course Paige joined us and we stopped every 2 feet.  *sigh*

Day 73 - Quiet Crafts

Haley's FAVOURITE thing to do!!!

Day 68 - The PhotoBook!

So here it is!  The finished product.  Days of hard work for what I think is a pretty cool result.  Sure wish I got to keep it rather than it going to Haley's teacher. :(

(Sorry there are so many... but I had to take a picture of all the pages so I could remember it! LOL)

Day 67 - A Child's World

I'm cheating a bit today.  Thought I would post a few of Haley's pictures from yesterday.  I have been printing them off this morning for her photobook and thought some of her tree pics were pretty cool!

I added this cause I thought it was a neat perspective that adults don't always see.  The inside of her fort!

Day 66 - A Budding Photographer

Haley is creating a photobook for a gift for her teacher and asked to go outside to take some photos today for it.  Watching her take photos is like looking in a mirror! LOL  You will notice in the last shot she has climbed up her slide stairs to get a good view of the birdfeeders.

Oh my little mini-me!  LOL
