B AND E Expert

Charlie is a good little break and enter expert.  She is getting into everything all the time, and she is a quick study.  If she gets it wrong the first time, she will watch us and see what we do, then try again.

We still have a lot of baby proofing latches up from Quinn, but there are a few "fun" cupboards we let our children play in.  The plastics cupboards are always good for a few minutes to get supper ready.

OOOOOH!

What fun!

 

 

 Sometimes I leave the pantry door open, and she grabs what she can.  This was her latest acquisition.  What is that????

Pantry fun

uh oh!

Oh dear, that is not good for baby!  I especially like her eyes in this pic, they are nice and sleepy looking....

Home Depot

HC really likes home depot.  No, scratch that, he ~LOVES~ it there.  Sometimes he will just make up something he needs to get so that he can go there.  This has all rubbed off on Quinn, and he now loves to go there and "drive his buggy".  He also HAS to get a few mickey head paint cards, every time.  I will admit, I don't mind this habit at all!  On our most recent visit, Charlie decided she was a big girl and asked, well really demanded to also "drive the buggy" with Quinn.

Sorry for the bad pics, they were taken on HC's cell. 

She giggled, and leaned forward to grab the steering wheel.  Then she attempted to eat Quinn's Mickey paint sample... 


HC had lots of fun showing me all the appliances he has already picked out for the new home.  I am waiting a bit before I shop for appliances, but he is miles ahead of me.  He knows the lot he wants, he knows the plans he wants, he is just waiting for spring to walk the lot to make sure it is all he wants.

Pizza Boston

I have been a bad blogger girl, I really just got lazy uploading pics.  And I have been trying to find a builder in Halifax that will meet all of
our needs, not as easy as it sounds!

Quinn has a love for Boston Pizza, I have no idea why, we rarely go there, and actually rarely go out to eat anywhere.  He has always been trying to get us to eat there, if we drive by he asks to go, if I ask him what he wants for supper, it is usually Pizza Boston (or hotdogs).  You might notice that he gets the name mixed up and calls it Pizza Boston, he used to do it by mistake, but I am pretty sure he does it now on purpose. 
Lucky for him, we had a gift card, so we decided to go there Saturday night.  He had noodles and cheese (some of mine anyways...)

Some dinner entertainment

FOOD!

NOM NOM NOM!

it did nothing to make him stop asking if we were going again, since yesterday, he was asking again to go!

Aunt Margaret! (and uncle Ken too)

This post is for aunt Margaret.  She is a very special aunt to Shawn (and now me!), and has always been close to her family down home, even though she lives in Ontario.  She even came to our wedding in Florida, and made an impression on Quinn since he remembers her fondly even though we haven't seen her in years.   And all he remembers about Ken is his "yucky toe!" She sent a wonderful gift card for Christmas for the kids, and Quinn had fun picking out stuff for both him and Charlie at Toys-R-us.  Here is the big toy he got:

MMMMarkers!

Fun Fun Fun!

He also got a Cars sticker set, some cars, and a book too.  Everything was on sale, what a shopper that boy is!

Charlie got some useful but not as exciting stuff.  She got some special bottles for her Acid reflux, some teething toys, and some sleepers since she is growing too fast.  And yes, quinn really did pick out sleepers for his sister!

Every time Quinn pulls out his new Playdoh set, he calls it his "Aunt Margaret" Playdoh.  He always remembers when people gives him stuff, it is very cute!
Thanks Aunt Margaret and uncle Ken!
