Wednesday, December 1


A beautiful morning! After our circle time from Little Acorn Learning December Childcare Guide. We went out for a nature walk so we decided to see what the river does in the winter. Almost right away Cy spotted a white hare in the trees. I still can't believe that he spotted it! Then we saw the frozen river so Cy threw rocks to see which one would slide the farthest. Ter wished that he could walk in his snowsuit.

The dogs had a great time and Cynda even has started to run around like a normal dog. She jumps on me and gives me hugs... when she does that Cynda is taller then me. Good thing she is so gentle.



We spotted these on the way home and found they were from a Fisher! Not seen this side of the BC border in a really long time!


This was our fall nature table in all its glory. Our first experience with nature tables and Cy and I both had a ball finding treasures to add to it. Also creating art work to complement. Today we dismantled our fall table to use the parts to decorate our first Advent Wreath!


After we decorated our wreath we started on some "snow balls" for our winter nature table.


Cy made his snow balls himself! He did all the wrapping of the wool and I just cut it. He even pressed his finger to hold the knot well I tied off the balls! We found a great tutorial here
Cy named the poms, green=daddy, muti= mama, white=cy, purple=ter, a family of poms!

Mama's Day Off

Today Q took Cy to the city for groceries and home depot. It was a very rare afternoon with just Ter and I at home.

It was crazy how quiet it was... almost too quiet. I really missed my crazy dude running around and always talking and singing. You always want peace and quiet until you actually get it. I am good with just 1 hr our quiet, I don't seem to need more then that usually. Unless I am P.M.S ing but that is another story.

I was able to get my cleaning done, and I also washed the floors! It was a rare treat to be able to finish was I had started. I hate to leave things unfinished.

Q and Cy had a great day and cy even made a poo in a big boy potty at the home deopt... what a man!

Ter and I just hang out and cleaned a little and played a little.

Just now Q and I were chilling with Ter after Cy had gone to bed. Ter almost walked a few times! He can stand on his own... but he just lacks the confidence to take an independent step. He is constantly walking around tables and along the walls. He can also drink out of a cup! It was so cute to see him holding up a huge coffee mug to his face to get the smidge of juice at the bottom. He will definately walk before christmas... then I will REALLY have my hands full with 2 mobile boys!

I also baked a few loaves of bread before dinner but one was undercooked. I had made the loaves a bit bigger then I did last time. I forgot to adjust the cooking time for that. But they are still the best bread ever! I use the recipe from "Healthy Bread in 5 minutes a day", I borrowed the book from the library but I am considering buying for my own library.
