Graham Crackers & Lego

 It seems to have become a tradition in our household: As soon as school is out for the winter break the kids make graham cracker houses (that they learned to make in Kindergarten) and then play with Lego. I was hoping that this year’s Lego project would take at least several days to complete. Unfortunately our girls have become experts of sorts, and built the Lego globe in three hours (recommended age 18+ due to degree of difficulty). Papa made a few “quality control” adjustments to the final product:

Snow Storm

 Like many others in our province, we recently had several snow storms. The first allowed the kids to play outdoors. With the second, school was cancelled, we had to stay indoors for several days, and we even lost power for a few hours. Here are a few photos of the first:

Winter Swim Meet

 The girls had a fun swim meet today, the last one of 2022. The stands were full and the races were exciting. Here are a few photos of the full day event:

Dance Class

Back in September, we discovered that the local gymnastics club was full, and so it was that we registered our 9-year old in dance class. She complained at first, but has been enjoying her classes; one 

In a lyrical style, and the other called Acro-dance. She even finally learned to do the splits:

First Snow

 And so it was that we unexpectedly got a lot of snow this week. Here are a few photos of the girls enjoying the snowfall with their cousin during a Ped Day:

Happy Halloween!

 For the first time in about five years, the weather has been favourable on Halloween. And so it was that we wandered door to door for over two hours collecting much too much candy!

The Girls Celebrate Their Cousin’s Birthday

 The girls helped their one-year old cousin celebrate a very important birthday. Here are a few photos:
