More Winter Fun

 With the new lockdown in effect due to soaring COVID numbers, we had little choice than to embrace winter:

Climbing trees

Out for a promenade

skiing

Outdoor ringette

Building a snowman while her sisters played ringette

Winter Break Arrives Early

 And just like that, school was out two days early due to exponentially rising COVID cases. No more homework, no more school lunches and no more early mornings….For the time being. Here are some of the things that the girls have been doing to pass the time:

Doing arts and crafts

Making graham cracker candy houses

Being a clown

Wearing oversized Sherpa hoodies

Going on adventures

Playing in a park in Snow Suits

Winter Comes Early

 And so it was that it snowed in the fall….A perfect time to don winter gear, and visit some animals that enjoy being out in the snow:

They look forward to holding their new cousin once they are vaccinated and the baby’s immune system is stronger…

The Halloween Squirrels

 Halloween might be over for the kids, but not for the squirrels…They didn’t even seem to care that the pumpkins had several layers of paint on them:

After missing out on the Hallowed evening last year due to to COVID, the girls were intent on collecting as many candies as possible, notwithstanding the rain…

Getting Ready for Halloween

 Here are a few photos of the girls prepping for their first Halloween in the new house:

And here they are at school with some friends:

And now the fun part begins, collecting treats…
 

Walking to School

 Morning have been so much less stressful, as we now live walking distance from the girls school. Leaving 5 minutes before the bell rings allows for some well deserved sleeping in…Here they are; the youngest skipping to school:

The girls also tried their very first candy apples, although they never actually got to the apple:
