My Girls With Glasses!

I found this a few months ago, and well I love it. I showed it to Miss Em, our own little girl with glasses and she loves it. All the girls love it. Shawn really is outnumbered in our house when it comes to choice of music. Poor guy.

Well I am trying to find the song...and I can't. So enjoy the video! And if you happen to find it, let me know.

I Am A Girl - The Girls With Glasses Theme Song from The Girls With Glasses on Vimeo.

I did message them, and sent them a pic with Our Girls in Glasses! Enjoy!

This one's for you Jeanee!

I participated in a Pin Cushion Swap over here

My Swap Partner was Jeanee and these are the lovely things she sent us.

She screen printed her logo on the fabric and then made this adorable pin cushion with my fave colour RED!

Just from the e-mails sent back and forth, I think she is one of the sweetest people I've met.(online, but maybe one day we will meet) Check out her site here.

I took a little video of the girls opening their treat from Jeanee.

They couldn't leave the house today without one of these adorable clips in their hair.

(Sorry the pics don't do the goodies any justice, just swamped today but want to make sure that I posted!)

A Very Happy Birthday to You!!!

This post is for someone really special!!! We love you Grandpa Goldthorp!!!

Julia's Christmas Concert

So you'll notice Julia starts out with a bit of Gusto, but it kind of tapers towards the end. You'll see. Her Cousin Ryder (on the right), did an awesome job. Full Gusto till the end. (by the way, it's not the whole concert, just the highlights.) Enjoy!

Juila's Birthday Party

If anyone knows Julia, you know that at anytime, anytime you may catch this girl in her swimming suit. So it was perfect for her to have a Luau Party.

Especially since her birthday is on Christmas Day. She asked for a Rudolph-the-Red-Nosed Reindeer Cake. Had fun making that!

When the girls got there we made flowers for their hair. Then Emily led the girls in Hula Lessons.

Followed by some coconut bowling and the limbo.

I made Strawberry Daiquiri's for the girls and topped them off with umbrellas. Julia is a pro.

(note the flower in her hair, she made it!)

Yummy Food

We had lots of fun!

Julia's Birthday @ Preschool

Emily's Christmas Concert

Well if this works, Here are a few video's from Emily's Christmas Concert. The first one they are singing is called Winter is Here.

(Part 1 Winter is Here)

(Part 2 Winter is Here)

This one is called, Snowflakes.

We really enjoyed her Christmas Concert. All of the kids did really well. They had handbells, gr3-5 choir, and they did a nativity. It was really nice. We are so thankful for all the work our teachers and staff do at that school.

Julia Child

We have four videos. They are all soo cute!

By the way, she is saying "Bonjour, Bon Appetit!"

Saturday

I can't even remember what we did on Saturday. It's all a blur. I only have a few pics, and a couple of videos from that day. I'm trying to jog my memory, but it's no good. I remember now. It was just a chill day. I went for a run in the morning and the girls played quietly and nicely for the most part, Shawn had a baptism to go to and then when he got home we went to the Library. On the way home Sobey's had advertised on their outside board chocolate milk for 50cents a litre. Shawn, went in and came out with 15 cartons of chocolate milk.

We froze some and kept 2 in the fridge.

The kids played on the plasma car, and sure enough Shawn joined in.

Here are a few videos of the 3 kids and the Plasma Car.

The big Kid had some issues! LOL

After some Plasma fun we chilled and had some dinner.

I made Bento Boxes for the kids for dinner.

They loved them.

I totally have to thank my friend Amie for introducing me to them. It really helps with making sure the kids get a variety of foods, fruits and veggies, all the yummy stuff.

Emily's Birthday Party

This has been a work in progress for quite some time.  We've had the theme picked out for awhile and slowly Emily and I have been getting things ready for her party.  The them was the 50's.  It started off with Emily wanting to go bowling and it just spiraled.  It was so much fun.  

I made poodle skirts for the girls and t-shirts for the boys.  

Emily's skirt was extra special with a little sparkle.  

I used old 45's for the invitations, and made a personalized record label for the invites.  

"Hey all you T-Birds & Pink Ladies!  

Emily is turning 7 and is hopelessly devoted to you being there!  

So grease back your hair Boys!  Put on your poodle skirts Girls!  

Because it's time for some Rockin' Sock Hop Birthday Fun!"

Refreshments were easy.

 Shawn's amazing chocolate milkshakes, strawberries, and cupcakes that looked like records (kind of).  

We went bowling at Holiday.  

The top score was 127!  Awesome job S!

Then came back to our place and had a hula hoop contest, bubble gum blowing, the twist, and a drag race.  And of course we did the limbo.  Which the kids loved doing so much we did it twice.  

It was great to have Grandma Ormston there, Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Luke, Auntie Carissa, Uncle Kyle and Auntie Karyn.  They were extra judges and helping hands.  Thank you.  

Julia was such a good helper too with the decorating and set up.  

I feel really blessed to have such amazing kids.  

They are such good sports, I hope they are enjoying this as much as I am.  

I also feel so blessed to have Spencer!

Here's a video of the kids doing the limbo. 

And I totally had to post this one of Emily's little friend.  She does such an awesome job hula hooping.  

I have so many more pictures and videos but don't want to bore you! LOL!
