Fancy Nancy

We recently discovered a new book series with Keva called Fancy Nancy. We have her this particular book for our Vermont road trip that read to her once or twice before hitting the road. Then Keva took to 'reading' it herself...

MOMENT: Fancy Reading

Keva's voice from the backseat while 'reading': "What's fancy for beauty? Oh yeah, ice cream!"

Inspired by the actual text:
"Ooo-la-la! My family is posh! That's a fancy word for fancy"
"For dessert, let's have parfaits,' my Mom says. 'That's French for ice-cream sundaes.'"

Torie's Farm 2017

We enjoyed our weekend out at the sugarbush. Pond skating, syrup tasting, ATV driving, and forest frolicking with friends. Always a memorable time...

Fun, fun, fun! Sticky, wonderful maple syrup!

February Fun 2017

Without much snow in the city, we were off seeking for some outdoor adventures!

Snow seekers on snowshoes. 

Adventuring with Adelaide.

Family fun.

MOMENTS: February Fun!

Family Day weekend brought us north of the city in search of snow. We made it about as far as Barrie just to get enough snow to snowshoe and make a snowman. The next day, we went to Kortright Centre for some nature time with our friends Adelaide and Rachel to climb trees, make bird feeders, hike, climb, and explore. The very next weekend, Keva and Addy explored the art installations at the Beach by bike ... inviting spring, but enjoying what is left of winter. Best part of this season, is the family time we get.

Valentine's Day 2016

Tavish and Keva dressed up for the love of it this Valentine's Day. We picked Daddy up at work, went out for dinner, and capped the evening with a skate at City Hall to celebrate the day of love together...

Ready for Bed and School

Two of Keva's favourite games ... putting 'people' to bed, and dressing up to go to school ... usually dressed up as "Tavish"! Welcome to our wonderful world of play...

"Tavish" going to school.

Everyone nestled in for the night.

Co-sleeping for naptime.

SING!

I took Tavish and a few pals off to see the movie, Sing! Although I may have caught a short nap (what can I say? Moms are tired), these three were riveted!

MOMENT: Sing!

I picked the Coady trio up from school (Tavish, Riley, Charlie) and had a TTC adventure to the movie, enjoyed some popcorn, then headed home with more adventures and singing of our own...

She Skates 2016-2017

Keva on ice. Taking to skates like a 4 year old pro! She skates. She stick handles. She scores!

MOMENT: Work in Progress...
