These last two weeks Elina has been passing on the afternoon naps .. more than usual. I loved the 2 (sometimes 3) hours that I can actually just do what needs to be done around the home, stamp, rest, relax. We’ve been unable to get her to sleep for the either of the [...]
Winter has arrived, cold and snowy for the next few weeks.
Busy as usual, today I actually told Elina that the question “What are we going to do now?” was going to be … “Go home and do laundry and just relax!” After about 15 minutes at home, she asked…”What can we do now?”
She wore [...]
So it goes like this….
Mommy, I need a drink of cold water (which she wants out of those little cups we use to rinse after brushing teeth)
Mommy, I got to go poo (which she always does just before bedtime, I know TMI)
Mommy, I can’t find bunny? (this is desperate sign of I acknowledge me I’m [...]
I am now a Stamping Up demonstrator. had my first demonstration last week and my neighbourhood ladies certainly took to it like I did! We’re going to meet on a monthly basis and make items together – since they both want scrapbook ideas, we’ll be doing more of them and then small trinket presents [...]
The thing we said we’d never let her do so much but do! (like eat junk food). She still is stuck on just one (or two channels – TVO – TV Ontario – public television) and Treehouse). She also gets to watch a video after supper (or half of one if a longer video). The [...]
I cannot belive how much Elina has grown and how much she thinks like her own little individual. She hears everything and remembers most of it … (remember .. “What the heck?”). She has the cutest replies to thinks I tell her. For example:
“I want a sleep over”
“Who do you want to sleep [...]
Today Elina got a bit of a hair trim today, actually the biggest hair trim she’s ever gotten, about 3 cm off her one length hair. As she sat there and I beside her I noticed one little strand of gray hair growing from the top of her head. The lady who was cutting her [...]
Elina’s birthsister Sarah Elizabeth turns 11 today! Amazing how fast they grow up.
Have Fun and eat lots of CAKE!!
Ok, Nunavut has it bad with the cold (-35C high expected tomorrow) but while browsing my favorite Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten (in English) I came across this…
80 Day of Rain in Bergen (west coast of Norway), that’s 80 straight days of rain! Imagine that! P.S. the record is 87 rainy days, recorded in the quaint [...]
When I got in from work today Elina answered the door as I searched for my keys. I was welcoming by our darling daugher with some exciting news!
She says ”Its My 1/2 birthday“!
I said “What’s a 1/2 Birthday?”
She says “I’m 3 1/2″ – which she’s not, she’s just 3 years 5 months and 8 days old!
She insisted [...]
