SNOW?
















So you thought the last entry was a little hostile. Now we have snow. That is 9? 10? months of snow? Oh my....But wait Haley loves the snow...she is so excited about toboganning, skating, skiing ....she can barely contain herself. Who would have thought? My southern girl is a snow angel. Oh well. Here we go Yipee Snow! She crushed her first snowman under the heel of her boot! and thought it was hilarious. She is also quite fond of toilet humour...anything related to her bum.....can you guess.....we are are narrowing in on this toilet training business. She does agree that big girls use the toilet....but looks confused after that. She can do a good job in the house..if she no bottoms on...ie no diaper...no underwear just a bare bottom....The minute I put underpants on her....it is all over....peep in the pants. Oh well. We are getting close.

Hmmmm Halloween




So guess what......it was snowing this morning when we woke up. Yep. Anyone considering moving here should really get out more. See the country...see the world. I am very convinced that this is not the place. But alas, here we are. And we have an outdoor birthday party today! What on earth are we going to wear!
Since it has been pretty awful outside...I have decided to clean out Haley's closet. Get rid of the stuff that will never fit again...sigh. Then we found Halloween. Tada. A ladybug. Well the outfit lasted 2 min. I think we are going to have a repeat of last year....No to Halloween. We were shopping the other day and Haley has also decided the scary guys...are no good. She kept her head down and her eyes closed until we left the store. I have a funny feeling she may reconsider....when?.....when someone drops the first "smartie" box into her bag! Until then we will keep the costume hidden and no more scary guys.

Just one more


Ladybug




Believe it or not.....this is what we wore before we went swimming. The day cleared up nicely...but it was only +7 when we left for swimming. Thus the next few pictures are dreamy.

Water Girl











So we are settling in back at home. And our worst fears came true. We landed to ohhh +10 degrees and rain. It has gotten better but really summer ended for us the day we got home. Since then we have not had on one summer dress. I know...why? oh why? sometimes.....I wonder too. But look we have solved mommy's problem...slightly. We have a lovely new membership at a brilliant new place. We have four different pools to choose from every time we go. We have the lovely large indoor pool, the small indoor wading pool, the hot tub surrounded by a waterfall or we have the spectacular outdoor heated year round pool (don't tell the environmentalists) I am sure there is something completely decadent about swimming in the great outdoors in a heated pool all year round. But you know....when you live in a place where you only get one month of summer....I just do not want to think about it. And when you get this much joy out of swimming...why even give it a second thought. Mommy thinks it is absolutely lovely and we are going to go all the time.

Yippeeeee
