{pretty}

This little lady is appreciating the pretty a lot lately.  There are lot more frills, ballerina outfits, and princess dresses.  She's loving setting up little play areas for herself and toting all of her treasures around the house with her.  There are regular "picnics" and requests for bananas to be opened so they look like flowers.

My parents gave the kids a crokinole/chess/checkers board for Christmas.  They are enjoying it SO much!  Many hours are spent sitting around the table discussing strategy and practicing being gracious winners/losers.  

 

{funny}

This little guy LOVES his engines.  If left to his own devices, he will get as physically close to the screen as possible.  The bigger kids have been helping him with track set ups lately and he has been quite appreciative, logging many minutes of the day playing with the trains.  

 

{real}

The Christmas decorations are still out.  I took them down early last week after Judah pulled the tree over.  My plan was/is to organize them and photograph them before they get put away in the big blue bin so that I can easily reference what we have without having to dig through the bin.  Well, the ornaments have been piled in assorted containers for over a week (with the giant bin as a centrepiece on the dining room table to keep the littlest hands from pilfering).  It's time.  I'm debating on whether or not to leave the little light-up trees in the living room for a bit longer as there are still so many dark hours of the day in January.

Hello to everyone!!!! I posted this week too, first time in MONTHS! :) Wish we could come over and join in the fun! Our wooden tracks and trains have been the number one toy around here since Christmas. And my decorations are sitting in a laundry basket in the office...out of sight, out of mind, oh dear! I better do something about it before spring is upon us!
