She then needed to get some work done, so she found a sunny spot that made her dress sparkle, and she sat down to tend to her tasks. The only problem - it was too sunny to work comfortably.
Amma found her sunglasses for her, and they were just the ticket.
He watched closely how sister held her arms, and pointed her toe...
but decided he wanted to colour at the kitchen table instead of dancing, so sister had the floor to herself.
Things they are a changin'.
Smudge was on Waggs, the stuffed dog, and JJ was on Winnie, the stuffed bear. The animals were face down, and the kids were holding onto Winnie and Wagg's ears while they slid rather laboriously along the floor.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked in a puzzled tone of voice.
"Sleighing" was the answer and off they went. I don't think Winnie and Waggs will ever be the same.
twirled and whirled around the bedroom with toes pointed and arms in the perfect position.
After the party it was time to explore the space under the coffee table...and...
invited her friends to join her in the expedition.
Yes she is there, look closely.
Who knew a tea party could put her under the table?
OK JJ, we're all set for the high fashion world of Montreal. Let's go!
Once his coiffure was to his liking, he and sister set off for the party. Smudge took him by the hand and they wandered down the hall to one bedroom...
and then to another. All the while Smudge was chattering away to him and about the trip and the party they were going to.
They each had to pack a bag of goodies to take to the party, and once they were all packed...
they got on their cars...
and off they went. Zoom, zoom, zoom!
When snack time rolled around, they parked their cars and sat at the kitchen table still in their party attire with pony tails firmly in place.
Cute little pony tails I must say.
I wonder where Smudge's imagination will take us tomorrow.
side...
overall view...
and last but not least, radiant front view.
The little girl is growing up. She was all ready for the party...more pictures to follow tomorrow. Stay tuned.
He helped sister fix her skipping rope...
...made sure it was OK, then toddled off to his room...
...to practice the piano.
Goodness he makes me smile!
Not only is the room full of sunlight, but bright memories too. I see my mom's dinning room set, AC's mom's teacup cabinet, silverware chest and Tiffany lamp; a treasured tea set from D2 and a cherished figurine from D1. Smudge's little tea set is all ready for her on the tea cart too.
Inside the china cabinet I can see special gifts received from friends over the years, and a china doll that once belonged to my Grandmother, given to me by a dear aunt. All gifts of the heart!
JJ was more than willing to get to work clearing the snow...
but soon discovered the job was just too big for him and soon gave it up as a lost cause.
He sure had a good long nap that afternoon after just doing the little bit of work he did. Yep, Amma loves getting the kidlets out to play in the snow. It makes for such a good nap time!
