More snow

Just some more pictures from the snow including Wilder's crazy hair after he took his hat off

This is everyone waiting for pizza fairly patiently

Wilder insisted on climbing up here then having his photo taken

Kindergarten

Bluet loves her kindergarten. Yesterday Bluet's entire class came to visit our house (apparently this is a thing they do - every Wednesday (but postponed by one day because of rain), the teachers take all the kids to 4 different houses. So about 20 small children ran into the house, straight upstairs to Bluet and Ilona's room, back downstairs to eat all the cookies we had made, and about 10 minutes later they were queuing up outside to go onwards to the next house. Bluet was very excited about this visit, talking about it beforehand, helping make the cookies, and holding the basket of cookies to offer all the kids. Then she had to bring this toy duckling to the house, where it would stay overnight, then return to school today with tales of what it had seen. Of course, this meant Bluet had to sleep with it in her bed, and woke me up in the middle of the night when she couldn't find it. In the morning it watched breakfast and getting ready, then was strapped firmly to Bluet's bag for the trip to school.

Also, here are some things Ilona can now do: 1. play with little Lego

2. Do her own hair

One Pony

Yesterday Bluet went to school with two ponies and came back with one.

 I'm hoping for 3 ponies next time. Then we can make a counting book.

4 ponies

Today I tried to do Bluet's hair before we left for school. Apparently Dadn's two ponytails ("Ponies") weren't good enough as Bluet returned with 4 ponies, none of which were the ones Dadn put in. Bluet often asks her teacher to put in ponies if we don't do them in the morning; today she got more than she bargained for
If tomorrow I put in 4 poor quality ponies, maybe Bluet will come home with 6 good ones.

Bluet's Fashion Tips

Step one:

Fall asleep in your pram at a jaunty angle for 30-40 mins

Step two:

Wake up with awesome hair

3 Month Birthday

Goodness me, is it really 3 months (or one quarter of a year) since Bluet was born? It seems that it was no time at all, and at the same time that she has been around forever. She can now sleep for 11 hours at night, is losing her beautiful baby hair (although surely more is on the way), watch us eat dinner from her high chair (for about 2 minutes), be read to (for about 2 minutes), watch TV (for hours, if last night is anything to go by - NB this was an accidental discovery), smile at us, and almost laugh. She can also amuse herself when laid on the floor, which is nice.

Here are some pictures from the weekend - at PQ for breakfast in the park with Michelle and Allan and their two (two!) babies.
