When Did They Learn to Crochet?

 I am not exactly sure who taught them. I think that about a year ago, they received a “beginner’s crochet kit”  from their aunt for their birthdays…And it took off from there. Here are a few of their new creations:

First Snow & Halloween

 Monday saw the first snow flakes come and go. The girls didn’t want to wear snow clothes, insisting that it was not yet winter…Thankfully things warmed up in time for Halloween. Here are a few photos:

Apples & Pumpkins

 We took advantage of a recent pedagogical day to pick both apples and pumpkins with the younger two; as a bonus, the girls ran into their cousin who was visiting the exact same farm with her preschool. Here are a few photos:

First Canoe Experience

 And so it was that over the Labour Day weekend we headed out to the water and rented a couple of canoes. Papa went with #1 and#3, and #2 rode with me. We stayed out on the water for a few hours, and enjoyed navigating the very calm water, and figuring out how to turn the canoes. We did almost run into each other a few times, but overall it was a fun first canoeing experience for the girls. We then biked home, stopping for some ice cream, making for a memorable last day before the first full week of school.

First Day of School

 Here are some photos from the girls first days of school:

Water Slides and Zip Lines

 After what seemed like an endless summer of water activities, including synchro, diving, swim team and waterpolo, we went on a quick getaway up north. Sleeping in, eating out, shopping, waterslides and zip lines made up our brief vacation. Here are a few photos:

The Little One Turns 10!

 And just like that, our little one reached  double digits this last week. Here are a few photos from her tenth birthday:
