This Week In Pics

There are some weeks that I'm positive that I've posted when really I haven't, oops!

Helping me clear off the car this morning

Oma came by for a few days and this is the only pic I got,
Owen just loves having Oma over

I tried to put a sweater on him and it was total refusal,
he went to his closet and picked out this jacket from
Uh Sha (uncle Sean) and wore it all day

He insisted on taking the coffee with us on our walk

Some days this is exactly how I feel

This is Brody, our neighbours dog

He's quite large but incredibly cuddly

I came up the stairs to see Owen watching something
very closely...

It was Rob was pulling icicles off the eaves

After swim lessons, Owen snuck into the locker and
refused to come out

So I gave him his snack, he finished it and tossed it
outside, still hanging out in the locker

He loves going to the drop in center and playing all morning

Usually followed by a great nap

Owen

No matter how tired we are or challenging it may be, this pretty much sums it all up. He's a pretty cool little guy and we are so lucky to have him in our lives.

This Week In Pics

Wednesday was yet another major dump of snow

I shoveled three times that day, it never stopped!

The kids all had a snow day so we joined in

Yes, I post a lot of snow pics but am really not used to so much of it!

Owen and Mackie making mega towers

I was cooking and he really wanted to help, this seemed
to do the trick

Even my latte can't escape the snow

Chillin in his chair, joining me for my morning latte

The weather was beautiful this weekend so Owen was out with
the girls, climbing up snow mountain

He had to take Rob and show him how he can climb it now

Making forts with our pillows is great entertainment

Banana and fig smoothie this morning

Owen now lines everything up in nice neat lines, it's pretty cute to randomly
find his collections

My Mom came to visit for four days and of course I didn't get any pics, I was too busy running around doing things!! Owen loved having Oma visit and still asks for her whenever we go past the guest room. It was really nice having my Mom and Sis stay over to celebrate all the birthdays together. 

A big Happy Birthday to us all.

They took down snow mountain in the beginning of
the week as it had become taller than the dump truck

My Sis took me out for a day of spoiling me while Oma was over to babysit.
First stop, Bobette & Belle for coffee and sweets

Then on to the spa for manicure, massage, eyebrows and all the other
relaxing and fantastic things you get 

Leanne stayed Thurs night and Owen treated everyone to a 4 am wake up call.
We were all a bit tired that morning

Out cold

Off to bed

Friday night Rob and I had gondola seats for the Rock game. A great
match up between Toronto and Vancouver

Weekends are great for spending the day in your jammies

Last piece of lemon meringue cake from Leanne went
so nicely with my morning espresso

Owen was so cute wrapping himself up in his blanket
all morning and saying "shhhhhh"

And then I came down from a little nap to see this.
Now it all made sense!

We went to the pool to play and got a stamp on our hands,
Owen walked around all day with his hand like this
and pointing to it. I couldn't stop laughing.

When we got home it was a perfect opportunity to open up the
car doors and play for a bit. The sun felt so good

Todays Snow

It has been a very cold couple of weeks and because of that Owen and I have not played outside much. Today was a perfect winter day, it had been snowing since we woke up this morning (6:30) so finally at 4:30 Rob decided to tackle the driveway knowing that more was still to come. The temperature was a balmy 0 so Owen and I joined in the fun and played outside till 6:00! 

The accumulation on the drive was just from today

The snow was coming down so hard it looked
like nothing had been cleared

Owen loved it

You can tell I'm a city girl, I'm impressed with
the size of the snow banks

He is such a great helper

Owen wasn't to sure about walking in such deep snow,
we had to lift him out a couple of times

I think this may have been the third time clearing the drive

If I concentrate hard enough and with the help of a front
facing camera, I can pull a pretty straight face

Too cute <3
