Everyday Things

Just a bunch of little happy every day things:

Our backyard rink was a success and we got some skating in on it before the crazy ice storm that layered it with ice, slush, and snow! Logan is still working on his coordination with the hockey stick but his skating skills have improved so much... he can get his little feet going quick and is learning to glide. Hockey starting in October is a possibility!

Logan has been in swimming lessons since January and has passed to the level 2 for preschoolers! He loves being in the water. After a scary day 1 where he fell under the water, he has been doing amazing with his listening and practicing the sills they teach... except the one day he refused to get in!

Our happy little Leah is almost 8 months. I literally blinked and this happened. She continues to be the chillest baby and recently has started laughing at everything! I pull out a book and she laughs at it, I show her a stuffy and she laughs....
And I don't want to jinx it but she has only got up once during the night for the past 4 nights!! She's pretty good at her naps too... twice a day for anywhere from 30 min-2.5 hours. She still hates solids and is all about the pouches and baby puffs and mum mums.

Oh and she's getting giant... closing in on the 2-0 lbs.

Logan is going to teach me how to skate now. I could probably pay attention to his lessons and learn a thing or two. I got out on the backyard rink a couple times!

We had a fun board game night with our new friends in the neighbourhood in February. We had my Mom come over once the kids were in bed, poured our red cups with roadies and walked over! We had such a great night with a little cards against humanity and game of things and were out until almost midnight (wild).

And our little people got their football jerseys on for the superbowl... although Logan insists that weekends are not for "Ellen and football" but rather for Paw Patrol.

Football snacks... m&m meats has great chicken wings! With some chips and salsa and the picture may not do it justice but that sandwich I made was sooo good. It was italian meat, provolone and banana peppers wrapped with croissant dough.

We immediately followed this with 10 days of only clean eating (I lasted 9 because it got too close to Valentines and... chocolate)

This time we actually skated at Storybook!! And had so much fun! We took turns pushing the stroller around and Logan loved that he could go into the little play village houses because they put mats throughout!

It was a perfect crowd when we went and despite my lack of skating sills, I felt comfortable pushing the stroller around. Much better than the huge crowd on new years when Logan refused to skate!

He earned his hot chocolate with marshmallows. He has recently decided that he doesn't like chocolate milk and the last couple times we gave it to him he said he "only likes hot chocolate".
