I think it's spring now.

See.
Remember this fort, well here it is one week later. Our backyard is pretty much gone since it gets more sun. I am loving it.
Leave snow and NEVER come back.

The kids got creative while we were on house arrest because of the snow and found these cups, they were a hit for days. It was great. Dustin even got into it and built a tower with Kyla.
They were pretty proud.


The day before it snowed mountains, I was going to take Kyla outside to play with her new spirograph chalk set. Then I thought, nah, i'll wait until Dustin is home tomorrow to play with us. Ya great idea Mindy.
Then the next day we were snowed in.
So today I decided since it's supposed to be 18C and the snow is melting fast, and i'm depressed because it snowed, that Kyla and I will go outside and play together with chalk.
So we did.




I wrote a note to Dust for when he gets home from work.
I had to add the last part in there, kinda forgot about them. But only for a second....


Then Kyla goes to another area and attempts to draw her name in block letters.
How awesome is that.


Oh and a little update on the coloring issue. I went and bought two sets of the wonder color markers and books. I bought Kyla one about a year ago and she loved it, and I think they are a great idea. Especially for my kids as of recent! It was a Dora one I got and they are expensive! Especially when I have to buy two! It was $20 for a small skinny book and like 6 felts. (Well two of them) They are already filled up. BUT the first couple days of having them, I caught them coloring on everything else and it was great! It's nice not having to watch their every move like before.
They don't color very much anymore, I took everything away. If Kyla wants to color she does it when they are napping. So it's all good now and I am happy.


Although, the girls decided to move on from coloring on the walls and themselves....
Babies are MUCH better.

I think it's hilarious.
and kind of disturbing.
Not sure where they found that crayon.

One more week of work then Dustin starts school!
