Abby and the Mouse

Abby will be 4 in August, and this weekend she figured out how to use my computer mouse. Perhaps this is really "late" in age to figure this out, but considering I rarely (aka never) let her touch my computer stuff, it's not bad!! Last time I tried, I think she went running off with it giggling! It was kind of fun to see her discover the computer, and actually play a game. Anyone have any pre-school computer game suggestions out there? I had her on CBC Kids which was perfect for her.

What a fabulous weekend we had here, the sun was shining, our sap started running, and the snow had a perfect crust on it for the kids to walk on, so we spent a lot of time outside. We played here Saturday morning with the neighbours kids, and in the afternoon we went down to Eric's parents place to see if we could skate on the river. With the recent warm weather, lack of fresh snowfall and cold nights, the river was in pretty good shape for skating, something that only happens once a year. Unfortunately it had warmed up too much, so it was a little slushy and too soft for skating. So we decided to take a walk down the railway tracks.







Sunday morning we had a nice breakfast with our friends from around the corner. We made a great pancake breakfast then the kids played for a long time while we hung out. In my opinion, this little boy and Abby play the best of anyone we know, they just get along so well, it's fun and relaxing! For the afternoon, it was so warm again, that we had to go outside, so back to the railway tracks we went. We again wanted to skate, because when we were eating breakfast we could see all sorts of people skating below! But again, it was too warm and slushy! It it gets cold this week we'll have to try and get out one morning as it's a rare opportunity to skate over the whole river!

ever fall for that one!! Quinn is going to hate me when

And finally, one last tickle before bedtime!


Happy Monday everyone!
