Everything Else!

BIG party plans for a sleepover in the garage. Games, music, snacks, party lights...I thought they'd never go to sleep but then I came out and read them The Velveteen Rabbit. Worked like a charm.






Curious chart I found??




Date to see Newsies. We live in the right place for our theatre loving Jane.



Hazel and I working on our sketching class

Hazel outside nature journalling by the coop.
More nature journalling.






Jacob can drive!
Ezra worked on this cool chest at his church activity.



Ezra loves to try a challenging recipe.


Jane embroidered this tote for Pat.

Best compliment ever!
The moms played the grade 8 girls basketball team. Scarlet was guarding me the whole time. No mercy.







Hazel loves her art class with her friend Olivia.


Squishies were a hit this year.
 Hermit crabs do not disappoint!

We had a fabulous time with Marky's family. The big kids went snowboarding with Marky and the littles basically played dolls all day!











Jacob will have his composition, "The Bee Hive" premiered in Toronto in June!

Jacob is a quirky chore doer.
Speaking of quirky...so is his little lego head guy on a pipe cleaner for us to enjoy on the back up camera.

Hazel made keychains!
Ezra made a hazelwood necklace for Levi's birthday.
Hazel made a performance practice board to prepare for festival.
Besties.

More compliments for Charlie.

Work lunches. Not sure what Charlie would eat if Jane didn't make his lunch every day.

Hazel keeps a Polly journal.
Ezra has been really enjoying bushcraft class.
A special baptism note to Jacob from Baba.

Best compliment ever.

Walkie Talkies with the neighbor friends.

Jane gives herself writing challenges. 
I love her trails of writing- notes, letters, stories, poems...left all over the house.





We learned how much sugar is in all kinds of beverages. 
My attempt to encourage them to drink mostly water...



Ezra's German Pancakes are perfection.
So are his sandwiches!
Music Festival 2023. The boys played a trio together: Eye Of the Tiger. It's a good rip roaring boy number.

Scarlet was invited to Provincials!
Hazel's first music festival. She was brave and poised and well prepared.
Keeping hands warm on the way to music festival.

Microgreens!

Hazel adds pearls to my bouquets :)



Scarlet taking matters into her own hands.


Shingles of doom...

Apparently you can play piano with Unky on your head like a scarf.
