A cold spring so far...

Spring in Ontario has been cold this year.  Yesterday was my first day taking the kids outside to play on the blanket (something I love to do in the summer).  Violet helped me with some yard work and then with dinner.  She cut the ends off the beans with the knife Granny gave her.  I was so glad it worked because when I tried to teach her to break the ends off, she basically broke the bean in half.  She was a great helper.  Here are a few recent photos.
We had Carey and Chris and the girls over on Sunday to watch Tangled.  They all got to paint their nails and watch the movie.  Then we had a great dinner together followed by lot of book reading.  All three girls love to read!

 Here is Vi helping me with dinner yesterday.  Cutting the beans.

 Vi snuggled up to pop after gymnastics.

 Violet loves to do my workouts with me.  Here Andrew caught her doing one of my least favourite moves on the ball.  Vi looks like she likes it!

 Snapped a few shots of Des today when we were playing on the floor.  He is such an interactive little boy.  Very destructive, not sure what we are in for when he starts to move around.  It cracks me up how differently he plays with the same baby toys Vi had.  Ripping off the musical animals from above him, etc. 

 Who wouldn't love that face?

Finally got a shot of Vi and Des in the sweaters Chris' mom gave us at Christmas, now I need to send a LONG overdue thank you card.
