One week we showed the kids how to fold their pants, the next week it was to fold their shirts, the week after it was to hang their laundry. Low and behold, our kids are now taking down their laundry and folding it all by themselves! They are AMAZING!

So of course they get ice cream after a job well done. Look at those faces!

And check out Chloe with her 48 piece puzzle! I think we’ve got another puzzle lover in the family! Can’t wait for the 5,000 piece that we can do as a family!

Happy Chinese New Year to all of our friends and family. Wishing you good health and prosperity in the Year of the Dog!

Our baby girl turns four today, where has the time gone?

So we signed Chloe up for a one day per week gymnastics class to help her transition to pre-school. It’s not exactly going as we expected as I think the English language barrier is more than I expected it would be for Chloe and she’s a little shy… but she’s getting there.  Little did I know that Chloe would be such a NATURAL on the balance beam!

And Sebastien finally decides to let go and walk on his own!

Okay so step one was to get the kids to fold their clean laundry. Check.

Now step two is to get the kids to hang their laundry. Halfway there. They can hang it. Next will be to get them to put them on the hangers… stay tuned…

It was so good to see all of the family, we’re so glad that the cousins got together again!

Nothing special to report of late… staying inside with the kids in this crazy cold weather. Here are a few videos of their silliness lately…

It’s so sweet when the kids get along. Sebastien likes to sit with Chloe at night and read together in the same bed.

Chloe is OFFICIALLY the laundry folding master. I don’t even need to tell her, I just put the clothes on the sofa and off she goes…

I know Chloe’s english isn’t there yet… neither is her pitch in his song… but she’s so sweeet… she’s really trying…

Some kid brought his toy car with him to the schoolyard and of course the kids couldn’t tear themselves away from it… no way is mommy getting them that EVER…

Last week it was shirts. This week it’s pants!

And just like that, it’s Christmas – where did the year go?

We converted some of our memories into Christmas ornaments:

A couple of months back, we saw a beautiful doll house being sold secondhand on Craigslist for next to nothing and so we bought it, even though the kids were probably too young for “make believe” and “house playing”. The doll house was bigger than we expected but in such great condition that we figured eventually the kids would play with it.

We are counting down the days to Christmas… and the kids are already in the holiday spirit, especially after having put up the Christmas tree.

Sebastien is in that weird size in between a baby and a toddler so these crew socks I got him are slightly too big for him, but he needed long socks for when we go outside. He’s such a troublemaker, you can already tell his crazy funny personality.

Chloe continues to be my big helper – she will turn four in February but check out her skills! Pants next! The goal is for her to fold it all by herself by the time she is five – what do you think?
