The Girls Have a Sleepover

Last night, our 5-year old slept over at Grandma's house. This is a weekly event. What was different about last night was that the older two also had a sleepover; they stayed with their aunt who lives only 5 minutes away. While the girls called it a sleepover, my husband and I called it date night!

Here is our youngest tucking in her babies:

The First Snow

The first snow arrived rather suddenly this Friday. Our 5-year old was the first one down from her room, and she declared "It's actually winter now!"

The kids were so excited to run into the school yard at morning drop-off that I did not have a chance to take a photo. Thankfully, the teacher sent me a photo of our 5 year-old with her friends during recess:

The Letter V

It has been a bit of a struggle, but the little one is finally learning to write. She showed little interest until recently in writing her name, colouring, and in fact anything requiring a pencil or even markers.

Here she is at school, working on the letter V with a classmate:

Halloween With The Girls

This year, the girls helped decorate the house, both inside and outside:

They chose their own costumes for school:

Our littlest one chose Little Red Riding Hood

Our middle one asked for a cupcake costume!

And our eldest went for a skeleton with a heart!

I chose the outdoor costumes, as trick-or-treating in near freezing weather requires warm clothing. Our little one had a 30 minute tamper tantrum prior to joining us. She had wanted to continue being Little Red Riding Hood...

Three cute and warm Minions!

They were allowed to eat 5 treats each on Halloween. I have since hidden their bags, and they choose 3 a day, after completing their homework. Hopefully the treats will last until the end of November, and homework will be a breeze until then!
