Leaf Girl [with my girls]

 Stella Bella had a field trip this week and I was lucky to be able to attend - LOVE getting to see my little women in their school worlds! I was able to have a little group of kinders and we went exploring at Legacy Park. We had a little fall booklet to work on, a baggie to collect and a string to measure with, it was pretty fun!!!   Creating a Leaf Girl was a homework assignment continuing with the fall theme.  Big sister wanted to create something too.

 I drove this week for school carpool and have been transfixed by the changing leaves.  It is stunning out there!!!  We have taken a few drives by down by the river and boy what a beautiful world we live in.  When I said the trees are getting "more and more bare", Amelia responded that they were "getting naked".  In kid world this meant tons of laughter in the backseat!  Sometimes kids, goodness their humor.  Sooooo we are enjoying the fall colours while we can because we know the trees are going to be naked soon.

Rogers Place

Mr. P was a bit excited about the new arena. Actually seemed like a little kid on Christmas morning! Love the guy.

afternoons with blue eyes

This woman is my afternoon sidekick and man am I cherishing my time with her.  Even just crushing Costco for groceries, as silly as it sounds....special to me!  While school is wonderful and amazing, I miss my ladies.  I am keeping busy in the mornings of course but I miss them.

extended family adventures

 The Bird family peeps are so so good to us when Mr. P works insane shutdown hours.  They invited us to join them on an adventure to Fort Edmonton Park and it was a beautiful day! Six ladies and good old Uncle Jon :)  They found the mid-way to be the coolest part.

Lots of smiles as we explored, sure love these ladies!  We met up with Mr. P for dinner, it was such a great day.

ballet for our little beauty

Stella Charlene has waited for her turn to do performance ballet.  She has watched her big sister get fancy costumes and is now beyond thrilled that it is her turn.  I am pleased for her! She danced last year in a rec dance class, quite different.  Each week she is so excited to go and has great fun, preparing for a big dance at Christmas.  Her teacher is fantastic, she is a lady who has taken her talents and is a gift to her students. The studio is pretty great and it is nice to watch my little woman enjoy this experience.

park picnic with friends

The Watson women are moving and we are all quite sad about it.

We have about 6 weeks until they move and we are making the most of our time with them. This week we met up at the park by our house for a picnic.  The weather was glorious and the company was great.  Jody is one of the people that in my 'over protective new mother stage' I actually let Amelia stay with.  When I flew out east to be with Jacey and Alyson at Ability Camp, Amelia stayed with her during the day when Graham was at work.  I feel forever indebted to her for that. They will be missed!

panda & kitty

I don't think our two darlings could get any cuter?!?!  Our dear friend Kristi made up these hats and cowls for the girls, she is a wizard with yarn.  My animal loving kids were so pumped up and with the leaves turning and the crisp fall air, it seemed like the perfect time to pull them out.  It really is a pleasure to be their momma.
