December 2010

To infinity and beyond.Hurry up Stellar, I’m already at the top!A little more snug that I thought…Daddyyy, are you sure this is a good idea??I told you this was a silly idea.WhooHooo! Bath-tubogganing is soo much fun!! (daddy…stop pretending.) This all started when I asked Lon if we should get a toboggan since we don’t already have one. Lon then had the ‘great idea’ to use Stellar and Gem’s old baby bathtub. Many thoughts came to mind…something in the range of how ‘brilliant’ my husband is:P All I knew was that I had to capture the moment with pictures AND video! Unfortunately, the tub didn’t get very far down the hill. Maybe because it’s NOT designed to go down snow. We then resorted to the old school garbage bag method…still works! I must admit that the whole ordeal was a lot of fun:) Lesson of the day: Reuse, Renew, Recycle!

what just dropped on my head??what is this stuff…
seriously, what is it about this stuff that makes you so happy?I don’t get it…let’s do a sniff test.

I have a sinking feeling something sneaky is happening.
hellooo…can somebody let me in on the secret??ah HA…leaves!!mmm….tastyy….
payback will come one day…
WoooHOOoo!
Hehee…you’re right sis, this is sOo much fun!!!
I know it’s now winter, it’s taken this long for me to get around posting these shots. Life’s been busy. It’s true what they say about the 2nd child being robbed of as many childhood pictures. I think Stellar had about a trillion of them before the age of 1. Gem, on the other hand…not so much. When I saw the leaves outside our backyard, I knew I had to seize the moment! It was pretty chilly that day, so I had to work fast. It was Gem’s first encounter with leaves, so she found it quite fascinating. Stellar’s already well aquainted with nature, so she enjoyed introducing the fun of leaves with her sister. Now that the snow has covered all the grass, Stellar’s been asking me when Summer is coming because it’s her favourite season. Boy, it’s gonna be a lonnngg one! Santa, how about Summer for Christmas?!
