We have some catching up to do.....

It's been a while, I know. So, we have some catching up to do! (and I must apologize for the quality of the pictures I've put up here lately. My good camera's battery died and we have to get it replaced... soon hopefully..)

It will hopefully be spring for good.... soon. We are supposed to get snow again this week, but the nice thing is snow at this time of year doesn't usually stay too long! Here is Matthew a while back, enjoying one of the first nice days of spring (when it wasn't quite warm enough for a hat yet, so we mofified his toque!



just doing a little sightseeing around the neighbourhood!

Matthew has been going to "school" (as he calls it), or a toddler group, (as we call it), every Saturday morning since February. He has loved it! It has been a good mix of singing and dancing and playing with other kids and his favourite part... painting!

Each Saturday there was a different theme. On one of the Saturdays, the theme was fairytales and so all the kids got to dress-up as we sang their songs. First they dressed as knights, and then as kings, and then as.....

Fairies!! Yep, thank goodness I had my camera that day because I am betting that I may never see Matthew in a fairy costume again! Considering the class was about 75% boys, we all had quite a chuckle at the little "fairies" dancing around with their magic wands and wings!





As much as he looked forward to the "painting" portion of the class each week, he wasn't too impressed with the fairy wand that was the craft for the day. It didn't see any magical action once we got home.



But who can resist shaking sprinkles on anything!

We enjoyed a short trip to Edmonton over Easter weekend. Edmonton has always been one of our favourite places to go and Matthew just loves staying in a hotel and playing in new playgrounds!

When we returned, we tried our hands at dying Easter Eggs for the first time! You should have seen Matthew's face when the first egg came out of the dye. He thought eggs should be colored all of the time!







There's nothing better than a bowl full of chocolate!
