Dr. Elyse

Elyse loves to use my stethoscope to listen to Scott's tummy, she says that there are "drums in there" and when she listens to her own there is "balloons and dancing"

How to Turn On & Off the Tap

To turn off or on the tap, you first need the step stool, then you need to partly climb on the counter to reach the tap, then you hang off the sink while trying to reach the stool with your toes!

I just hope we don't hear a crash when she is washing her hands; as she always insists "By My Self"

Hipster Girl

When Elyse wears her striped fleece hoodie, purple boots, dark grey pea coat and new toque (pushed up) Scott calls her a hipster! I just think she is cute!

Happy 3rd Birthday Elyse!

This year I was asking Elyse what colour balloons she would like for her Birthday and she named every single colour! So she got a rainbow themed party!

Scott's Mom and Dad came down to help us celebrate, along with Scott's sister Sarah, her husband Jim and Elyse's cousins Zoe and Hailey.

Grandma and her girls

Making their goodie bags - lots of felt markers, and gluing rainbow coloured circles on to the bags

Elyse and her "Auntie Laurie" - Elyse loves arts and crafts, it must be from Preschool

I froze different colours of Kool-Aid into ice cubes then for the party added clear pop and a fun straw for all the kids

Elyse loves fruit so we made rainbow fruit kabobs

Raking Leaves

Every year we get so many leaves from our 4 maple trees, this year we were lucky and I actually got them raked before they got soaked from the rain. Elyse has to "help out", mostly it is so she can play in the piles

Happy Halloween!

Elyse loved digging the seeds out of our pumpkin

She picked this pumpkin out for herself

Easy-peasy pumpkin carving - get out the drill!

Our little Mouse

On the day after Halloween, when we were getting ready for Preschool she was asking to put her mouse on again - we had put it on on Tuesday for the preschool party and then she had worn it the following day for Halloween, and just wanted to wear it again.
