Catch-up through Pics

I was looking through the photos on my phone and realized, I have missed out on blogging a lot of fun things.

Also, I realized I should probably sync my phone. It's been awhile.

So here is Easter. In photos :)

E's Little Business

Unbeknown to us, E started a little business just over a month ago.

She has been selling custom made pencil toppers to her friends at school. She asks them what character or design they would like, takes the order and creates them at home. She came up with the price (50 cents) all by herself.

She has also decided that half of her money would go to the Alberta Children's hospital.

A very close friend of ours, has been there for quite some time with their daughter.

Over the last week or two I have been helping her crazy glue her creations for final delivery.

Last night, I saw my daughter through different eyes. She is such a caring and compassionate little girl. "it can't be easy for "A" up in Calgary. It must be really hard for her to be away from her family and friends. And it must be really hard to see "little E" struggle. I want to help!"

It may not be a large donation, but boy is her heart in the right place. We talked about how her money would not only help little E, but other children who do not have the health that she is so blessed with.

It was one of those moments that reminded me how blessed I am to have these sweet spirits in our home.

Miss E recognition...

Emily was recognized at school yesterday.  At the recognition assembly, the teachers write a few things down that stand out about their student.  Emily's teacher wrote that she "has a voice of a songbird."  The principle was surprised about this information, didn't realize that Emily sang.  He proceeded to ask Emily to sing on the spot.  To our surprise Emily took the invitation and sang in front of the 400 + students, teachers and parents that were there.  

Lets just say we were very proud parents. (insert tears here)

Reading Week Day 1 & 2

The girls have been having lots of fun. We've been sick, but we are making the best of it.

The girls have each had a turn sleeping at Grandma O's. They have really loved that. Last night while Becca was sleeping at Grandma's, the two older girls, Shawn and I had ice cream and watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1.

Emily finished reading all of the Harry Potter books :) I was waiting for her to finish reading Deathly Hollows so we could watch the movies together.

Today has been games day. So far we have played a little Mario kart wii and right now we are playing pictureka.

With it being Shrove Tuesday we will be having pancakes for dinner :)

Tonight, after Becca is in bed we will be watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows 2.

Sleeping in, movies, games, lots of fun things planned.

Although, I'm finding out my kids are fairly competitive.
