Election days

Cub Car champion (and manager)

Alli's outfit for the day, and Laurel open for a pass

The provincial election was finally called for April 23 so Nathan is now on the campaign trail full time, and then some. The kids like to play their version of where's Waldo (or dad) when we drive around Red Deer as they see Nathan's signs all over, its pretty funny. I am at home with the kids all the time which is challenging at times, getting everyone in the van to go anywhere seems to take an eternity. Alli, Mike and Kate all play together during the day, we go to the library, the pool, etc. The kids are really into dress up these days, and I think Alli is still the craziest. To her it is not dress up its just her clothes for the day. Laurel just finished basketball which she really had fun with, and William won his first cub car rally! He didn't even watch his final heat where he won it all, he had lost interest by then but was super excited to get his trophy and ribbon. Here is a look at our life lately:

Putting up signs for the election. Kate's first day of potty training that lasted two hours, then mom lost interest.

winter fun

The winter has been pretty mild this year and we have been able to have lots of snow fun outside because of it. Our best snow play day this winter has been at 'grandpa's park' here in Red Deer. The weather was warm (for winter) and there was lots of snow that was just right for building and digging. Aunt Jennie was smart to bring some food coloring in water and some paint brushes, to paint our snow creations. And of course we played at the awesome park too.
