The fabulous adventures (and everyday life) of Isabella and Eloisa: May 2012

March 2012

March has seen a little more light coming day by day but the snow doesn't seem to be going anywhere.So I decided to see if there was a way we could make outside less white and more colourful! Check out the photos to see how I did it!

The annual Easter Egg Hunt for the Finnish-Canadian Society was this month and we had tons of fun. There was a great turn out and the kids had so much fun looking for the 90 filled eggs that were hidden around a playground.

A common occurrence recently. She likes to keep the books we read with her in bed. For some reason, she even likes us to read these baby books to her sometimes.

Trying to get curly hair...

very happy with the results!!!

Snow painting!

Spray bottles at the ready...today we used red and purple

I made some stencils- a heart

Sello Shopping Centre had its annual big sale and there was lots of fun stuff to do

Finnish Canadian Society's Valentine's Day Skating party...she did so much better than last year on the ice.

Someone has a fever :-(

Got a smile out of her though

She also wanted to try out a Bjorn Borg look when she was sick

Finally some snow...

My work had a fun event for families so I took Bella along. She got to try cross-country skiing for the first time...

It lasted about 3 minutes before she got fed up

My co-worker Leena sliding with Bella

They had lots of fun...blurry fun as you can see!

Bella did this while I was out one day. I think that it is great...she traced Handy Manny's tools...

and then coloured them in with their real colours! How creative!

So there was a bit of snow in our yard...

After taking most of the snow off our roof, you could no longer get to the front door

February has been another month with not so much going on...or maybe not so much that is so interesting. There is so much snow outside that it is hard to move around.

January 2012!

I have to admit that I have not taken a whole lot of photos recently. Being pregnant has not been so easy this time and I have not had the energy to do a whole lot of fun stuff with Bella. I wish that I had more photos for January.

New Year's Day picnic

with hot chocolate and sandwiches...fun!

Santa's house at Jumbo Shopping Centre

Crazy eyes

Lenox's 1st birthday- she had to wear her crown!

Bella trying out the outfit I bought for her in Egypt- jingle, jingle.

Checkin' herself out...

Christmas is here!

December 24-26, 2011
We decided to take an all-encompassing approach to Christmas which meant that there were two days of opening presents! All the presents from Finnish family were open on the 24th and all the presents from the Canadian side were opened on the 25th. The best of both worlds!
