Finally!
Finally we have a break from the freezing weather and I can say those words I love to speak …
“Get outside and play!“.
In no way do I believe that Spring it on it’s way, yet this break in weather sure makes a person think it is. Back and forth, back and forth – like taking off a bandaid slowly.
Just get on with it already, rip it off and bring on the next season!

Before the weekend we celebrated the twins 5th birthday. Wow, five! Their party was Minnie Mouse themed, and this year I decided to make cupcakes for the very first time ever. Well, not ‘ever’, but it was a first for not having a cake or two for my kids birthday. I’m usually a cake kind…
I look at the calendar and cringe. While I’m excited about back to school, there’s a lot of dread as well since Summer comes to an end. Sure, we’ll have some nice days in September before ‘W’ starts to show {I can’t even say the word!}. Yet, I already see the grass browning, the…
Where did all my peas from the market go? A trail down the deck stairs…. through the grass…. in the bouncer…. Aha! “Katie, where’d all my peas go?” “It wasn’t me, Mom!” At least the kids are eating their vegetables, right? ~ Oh – and if this is your first time visiting my WW posts,…
That’s right folks, I’m Livin’ on the Edge again! Watch out! Honestly, so I can’t even recall the last time this happened. When my van says it’s empty, it means it. There isn’t much of a warning, believe me. Stranded with 3 kids in the car? NOT my idea of a good time, freaks the…
We are back from our fantastic family vacation at Azul Sensatori Hotel, by Karisma in the Mayan Riviera {20 minutes from the Cancun airport}. I have so many specifics I want to cover, of the resort and all the amenities offered {as well as our take on it all, of course}. Yet to start my series of posts,…
The title might fool you into thinking that I’m pointing fingers here. OK, maybe I am. Yet, that finger needs to point at myself too, since I’m guilty as well. I was recently introduced into this hilarious {yet truthful} video from Canon and it struck a cord {x2}. You know, the kind of realization that…
I am SO SO SO glad that the weather has let up a little bit.
Now maybe we can enjoy winter!
(Your kids look so happy to be outside too!)
Exactly! There’s been no sledding, skating or anything in the -30 & -40 weather. Enough!!!!
The kids must be so happy that the weather has eased up a bit and they can go out and have fun now. Happy WW
Fantastic photos of the girls! I love the way you blurred the background just enough to make them the focus of the pictures. Their beautiful faces really pop!
Thank you!
Yeah, my mom asked if the kids had been outside to play in the snow. I reminded her that it was way too cold to be out there playing. Brrr.
Maybe today and we are getting fresh snow too.
Lovely photos. They look happy to be out there.
Right?! There’s no outdoor anything when your face can freeze off in minutes. The girls had been asking to play outside, it’s a shame to have to say no. Now? Go, Go, Go!!! lol
lol…yup, those words sure are music to a mom’s ears Tammi!
Great pictures. It is snowing here in Ontario again today 🙁 I am so ready for spring!!!
They are calling for more here tonight, just a bit though. The white abyss has really overstayed its welcome!
Such adorable photos!
Thank you Christina!! 🙂
I am ready for spring too. 🙂
LOL @ “Get outside and play” heheh! she seems quite happy to though and what a lovely smile and cute hat heheh!
Is that grass showing in the background?! I hope so, I’m heading back on Friday and I need a change! We had no snow here last week and now we have tons.
Oh god no, I wish!! We are still covered in snow but the temps aren’t that bad at all. Hoping for some melting!!
I thought the same that it may be slowly arriving. we had such a great day on Friday, bit colder on Sat, Sun and Mon that glorious sun was shining bright. Today the day we were suppose to drive and tour some Colleges, its so windy and white outs drifts snow!!!
I long for more sun!!!!
It’s -11C here and positively balmy. It IS nice to get outside and not worry about parts freezing and falling off.
Amen to that!!
Hoooooooooooooow cute. ^.^
Awe, thank you!!
🙂
The pictures are adorable! And looks like she’s really having fun with the snow.
Thank you, they love being able to go outside again – and so do I!!
Great hats. I especially like the first one.
Thank you! A dear and talented friend made them for my girls, and even one for me!
Great photographs…Thanks for sharing them!
Have a great rest of the week!
I hear ya Tammi, we are getting dumped on with the third major snow storm in about one week here in MA. I’m so over winter. I love your girl’s hats! The owl is adorable! 🙂
Thanks Kristi, let’s bad together against the madness!!
Gorgeous photos! What fun!
Thank you!
It’s nice that you are finally getting a break from cold weather. It’s been back and forth in Nebraska. Warm, cold, cold, warm. We haven’t gotten much snow. I was hoping for some good sled riding.
I’m looking forward to skating and sledding again, we haven’t done much of it due to the freezing weather. -30 & -40 should not be allowed, ever!!
Oh you’re making me jealous, we are sweltering through about our fifth heatwave of the Summer here Down Under! 😉
GAHHH, Woman. trade. now!
Cute little snow bunnies.

Yay for nicer weather!! 🙂
YAY!!!!
You are definitely right, my boys spent a lot of times outside today. I love your girl’s owl hat:)
Thank you so much! A very dear and obviously talented friend whipped these up one afternoon. 1 for each of my girls and one for me! She’s the best!! 🙂
Stunning images , I’d love a little snow here but it will never happen.
I’ll have a package of it sent right away!! lol
The break in the cold weather has certainly made a difference. Cabin fever!
Ahhh yes, and there’s only so many times you can go to the mall or pet stores. Nice to be outdoors for a bit again!
Beautiful photos! We had one whole day of snow, lol.
That sounds about perfect! I’d love snow on Christmas, and that’s it! lol
Your girls are so adorable. Is one generally more serious than the other, or is it just these photos?
You are correct Rhonda! I love how photos show their personality so well. Sophia {first photo} is my outgoing twin. She’s always smiling, jumping and is very athletic. Katie {second photo} is quiet, timid, always in thought and 100% full of feelings. I always said that Sophia is the one most likely to punch you, then Katie comforts you. BUT, if Katie has reached her limit, she can snap, in ways worse that Sophia. She’s just more sly about it and will punch you when no one is looking. Ha!!
Ooooh snow! It’s the last days of summer here but you wouldn’t know it with the rain we’ve had today!
Such beautiful pictures!
This winter has for sure had some SUPER cold days! My kids love playing outside, so they are always happy for the “warmer” days since they can stay outside so much longer!
Link up your wordless wednesday post here: http://mk2sahm.blogspot.ca/2014/02/wordless-wednesday-my-new-baby-stroller.html
I little break in the snow makes a world of difference! Enjoy!
Great photos! Can’t wait for my kids to see snow!
I can totally relate….
My daughter’s getting used to the cold! This morning I asked her if she might want to go outside and play today, and she looked at me incredulously and said. “Nope.” And when I asked why, she said “Because it’s too cold!” Unfortunately the little girl I babysit showed up without snow pants, otherwise I would have sent them out the door!
Great to have some good weather to get outside. We’ve had some days in Australia that have been too hot, not ready to let go of Summer yet though 🙂
Beautiful portraits of the twins! Did they get their play on? Can’t wait for the change in season too. 🙂
I think I say that to my children at least 14 times a day, except right now it’s way too HOT for them to be outside, at least 36C and 70% humidity!
I was finally able to take my son skating on the river trail- loved how much fun he had!
I have been doing this with my daughter 🙂
We have been pounded by snow here in New York, I am ready for a little warmer weather, looks like you are too! Thanks for sharing!
As I’m reading this I remember fondly those warm days we had here. But we are back to the -30 again. Ughh! I love Alberta but hat the 9 months of winter!
