Butterfly Light

Ellie has a solar powered butterfly light that she has been using as a night light. Each day, Ellie or I place the light outside to be charged and every night it goes up to her bed.  She has started taking off the butterfly part and it creates a little light show on her ceiling.

Giant Lego Blocks

Santa gave Ellie and Cooper giant Lego like blocks.  We have built all sorts of things; chairs, planes, and even towers that touch the ceiling.  This day Victoria was building with the kids and created a giant boat that had enough room for all of us. 

It’s Strawberry Time

Strawberry season is Ellie and Cooper’s favourite time of year.  Victoria had a wonderful idea this year to take the kids to a strawberry field. While Cooper was busy picking everything except strawberries, Ellie was busy finding the largest ones.   I think they ate just as many as they put into the bags.  We were surprised one of them didn’t turn into a giant strawberry.   

Zoo

They both love the Zoo and this time we were treated something special, the elephant getting a bath! 

Reading Together

Ellie has always had the love of books and it is great that Cooper is following along. It makes you nervous when there is no sound coming from them and what a great surprise to find quietly together reading.  

Dance Off

While at the amusement park, Ellie and her friends went on stage for some candy and a dance competition.   She was selected to be in the top three and then dancing to Gangnam Style, She won!
