We are looking at Canada from a lookout tower at the top of a mountain on an island. Happy Memorial Day!

Could it be? Is Spring really here?

Well, it might just be true that Spring is here! I hope so, at least! This has been one of Ellie's favorite passtimes this week:

Playing in the Sandbox

Playing in the Sandbox


You'll notice there is very little sand left in the sandbox after a summer of playing in it and a winter of it sitting more or less vacant! But she has fun anyway. I would love to build a sandbox under her swingset (well, not under the swings!) for her to play in instead of this inflatable baby pool. Anyone want to take on that project for me???

Snow Cones

When your yard looks like this on April 24:

Snowcones

I am pretty sure this is the best response:

Snowcones! Made with real snow... It's a pretty good way to make a little girl happy!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when Spring gives you snow, make snowcones!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Kidsview

To celebrate, I give you a picture of the ones who made me a mom... the one who gave birth to me in the first place, and the one I gave birth to when I became a mom! I love you both! Happy Mother's Day!

MOR with Gramme and Grandad

One of the last times Leif's parents were here, they all went with Ellie to the Museum of the Rockies. I think I was attending some training for Mary Kay, so I missed the adventure. For those of you who missed the adventure, too, here are some pictures...

Ellie exploring the exhibits at the museum. Their current exhibits are on how toys work and different kinds of treehouses, which is perfect for little kids to enjoy! We have seen the exhibits several times and Ellie hasn't tired of it yet! In fact, she asks pretty much every day if we can go to the dinosaur museum because she loves it so much.

Today's quote: How do they go from hip hop to sleighbells? And why does the icecream truck play 'O Come All Ye Faithful'?
It's my lucky day! I just got 2 fortunes in my cookie!
